I took the 1, which I guess is also the 101. Basically, Pacific Coast Highway most of the way. As far as the constant changing of the revs, well, that was kind of dictated for me by the curvature of the road.

Again, I think people are way to literal regarding break in periods. Just drive the car. Don't go out of your way to beat on it but also don't feather it. It's probably worse to flog the engine at low rpm than it is to rev it out. And it's also important to wear in the top portion of the gears.

So drive the car.. Don't be too concerned. When is the last time you heard of a car having engine damage because of an improper break in?

At the factory, they run the engines at high RPM to test them long before they ever installed in the actual vehicle.

My point is, you don't need to race it 0-60 at every light.. But some spirited driving is healthy.

I would avoid using the cruise control if I were you and just enjoy the natural fluctuation of speed. Other than that, you're probably way over thinking it.
