1000 miles is going to be killer for me with my monthly average mileage hovering around 500.

I just go for random drives to no where during the week and then go somewhere far on the weekend. So far I'm at about 300 miles and it's been less than a week.

Very cool, I went on some motorcycle routes, burned off the miles on some nice windy roads.

Same here... 300 all put on over the weekend just driving locally. Really enjoying twisty roads even though I'm not beating her up on them yet.

OP, congratz! Your car looks beautiful!

Thanks for all the tips guys/and or Girls! I'm glad to say I am there now. Did random drives all week and a 350mile "scenic" drive do my buddies house. Ended up taking the 33 past ojai in California, an epic road. Arrived at my buddies with 985mi. I let him take it out and he came back with it at 1003 miles, hands me the keys and says "your welcome" Since then its been Glorious.

The most I've ever done in a MONTH is 400KM. I'm doomed, unless I force myself to get up early and drive it everyday.

Garbage new cars these days, drive them for 2 months and then every light on the dash lights up at you! . (I do like the "hoon" icon though!)



(that was a LONG 2 months - now the fun begins!!!)

no real advice other than keep shifting gears so the engine sees varying amount of load, but as @EvoXDD says you should also up the RPMS with the miles
