Purchasing white FRS MT sat 3 hrs away, will 180 highway miles hurt break in?
I finally located whiteout MT 180 miles from home. Got it at MSRP 25,175 and only 399 doc fee. Will first 180 miles on break in on interstate be ok? TY

But like everyone said, drive it, enjoy the 180 miles! Shouldn't hurt break in unless you push the car too hard

Definitely not, it would be good for it. The only recommendation I have is to vary your rpm frequently, i.e. shift gears, slow down and speed up, make frequent exits, etc. The idea behind "break in" is that the car's mechanical systems are used relatively normally without being abused. I understand that droning at a constant rpm (such as freeway driving) isn't a good idea during break in. Change gears frequently, make stops (not necessarily to actually stop and shut the car off), but more-so to use the brakes, shift gears, accelerate, etc.

Nice! You had it easy. All the Whiteout M/T's are marked up with Accessories all the way to the mid/low 30k. Waiting for the true one though where it's at MSRP
