Hi Everyone,

This is my first post. I'm about to buy an 86 MT from a dealer near San Diego and will have to drive it home to San Francisco. It will mainly be up I-5, but will be in constant speed most of the way up not being able to vary it very much on the freeway.

Am I going to ruin the car by not properly breaking it in? Or are they broken in from the factory and I can just drive it right from the dealership but gently for the first 600 miles even though mainly freeway?

Or should I just transport it home but with added cost which will negate the savings for the reason of buy it from San Diego?
