let's say I have a friend, who has a fresh engine with just 100km and I, er...he just had to pass that BMW, so the speedo needle went off the scale  do you favor conservative break-ins or you prefer to step on it ("if it's gonna break it will break anyway") |

Step on it! Find a steep hill and drive it like you stole it.
