    Mine is loosening up some, more willing to rev higher or more easily. Its a manual, and the shifter is also less stiff.

    This is all in the mind. Any physical change is bullshit

    Every race engine is "run-in" before testing in a vehicle. High-end cars and motos are driven on a track with break-in oil and then changed to standard oils for delivery. Must be something to it or my folks wouldn't spend so much money doing it as part of the business

    ...looking to buy....
    ...Well...I don't know where u drive...but it must be in some magical land with fantastic drivers?.....and as far as my incompetence.....I was a driving instructor...in the military.....

    ...and I have been driving a lot longer than you most likely....and I am not the typical SoCal driver....I moved here for work long ago.....and refuse to adapt the local bad driving-habits....

    ..What I have noticed in the last, say, 5 years mostly, is that there are a lot of distracted drivers playing with their damn phones.....and/or drivers who simply don't have the foggiest notion of correct, polite, competent rules of the road. What may be a large factor....is driver's-ed is no longer taught in high-school as a mandatory requirement to obtaining a license...Now that's a Really bad idea!

    ...So, with all due respect to your obnoxious reply, I shall stick to my original statements...and you can keep yours....

    All public high schools in California must offer drivers ed at least once a year. They all offer it
