I will be taking it easy the first 50 trips in my first car, because I will be shaking like a rattlesnake.
I am a very "nervous" person, so this will control it self.
But I really think that barking the car in gently is the best way. I did it with my mopeds, when I was young, and they went 20% beyond the build in speed limitations, with out modifications
I ran the mopeds very gently, at half the top speed and no high revs. for 14 days.
Then gently at normal speed for 2 months.
After that I would warm up the engine for half an hour and then force it to do maximum revs, in a low gear, until the engine got hot. Then I'd let it cool down by driving normally for half an hour. I would do this once every trip I went on.
A moped is build to run much faster then the 30 km./h. they do in Denmark. Mine went 37 km./h. on a flat road, when it was stolen from me.
I would be less brutal on my car engine.
Regards
A.
