If the car is really new, break it, and you, in for 500 miles before you do any sort of hard driving. There are tons of posts on cautions for new drivers, like this one from four years ago: ERA 752 made it home safe w/pics What might really surprise you is how your car will make other drivers drive poorly, act goofy, not pay attention, and generally distract you. And, sadly, we've had more than a few people get killed in these cars, so, take your time learning how twitchy they can be before you put your foot in to it.
