i hate break in periods...on my 00 accord EX sedan i was spinnin tires off the lot the day i got it and never looked back...it KILLED me when they replaced the tranny at 68k because of the defective auto things cuz i had to take it easy and drive like normal people for 600 miles to let the new tranny break in...it felt wierd tho because that tranny was adjusted for slow driving right out of the box, i had to punch it a few times to get it to redline, my old tranny would drag out in every gear and if i didn't push it to redline it would wait a bit to shift because it was waiting for me to push it...now that this one is broken in and adjusted to the way i drive, it's just like the old one, only better because there's no slipping....i love my car
