So my dealership called yest and I picked my new wagon!! Will have some pics by tomorrow... I went to buy some IceCream late at night just to have an excuse for taking it out... Dealer told me to drive it with care for the first 1K miles.. How important is this??

Congrats!

I would observe the break-in. I was going to go straight to Kleemann before the break-in period was over...they told me that some of their cars put out better when hp numbers when upgraded before break-in. I know how strong these motors are but I didn't want to take the chance...I'm at 1050 miles and I'm going K2 next week.

Also, take into consideration that the dealer would be able to see that the car was driven more aggressively than recommended.

Hi there,
It's not here yet but supposedly the dealer is going to flatbed it to me tomorrow morning. At this point I'm not holding my breath but we'll see. As of 7pm yesterday the car had still not gotten to the dealership. I'll get pictures up of it as soon as I can as long as Wolf lets me near it.

The wait isn't killing me near as much as the cross between the anticipation of getting the car and the annoyance of being basically dissed by the dealer. I know I'm not the type to take out a bad buying experience on the car but I am incredibly peeved at how the buying process on this one has gone.
