changing the oil frequently sounds like a good idea. for the rest...i'm going to ask my mechanic for detailed instructions, i think, and figure out how that fits into the roadtrip. if i have to do a lot of break-in driving and then get things checked out again, i may not leave Charleston as early as i'd hoped. i know the engine has been run & tested at the factory, but i don't know how far that goes towards proper break-in.
"repeated acceleration and coasting" makes me feel kinda motion-sick, just reading it. *sigh*
...in any case, if you know a good mechanic in Boston, or know someone who might know a mechanic who's good with older cars, pass the info on this way.
