When (not if) I get my Camaro - it will be brand new. I have never driven a brand new car considering the past two vehicles I have owned have had 25k and now 79k on the odometer. That said, I have heard that it is in the best interest of the engine's life longetivity to "break in" the engine, by not driving it too hard before hitting 5000 miles.

Is this true? If so, then I'll need to really work on my self restraint considering I don't plan on ever selling the car.
