New owner - Nor. Cal
Just got a base 08 CS.
How should I properly break her in?

Take it easy for the first 1K miles, no aggressive launches or high speeds.
After that, its up to you.
Enjoy your car and post pics ASAP.....

Thx for the heads up.
I only have about 200 miles.
It's so hard trying not to high rev her.
Looking forward to the first oil change.

Might pay to read through your owners manual too. Break-in periods etc are there.

"Avoid driving for long periods at constant speed"
What is the reasoning behind this?
