New daily driver showed up today
I was bored of driving a truck every day, so I got something a little more economical. Should be easier to park also.
2009 Z06, cyber gray, 2LZ, red/black interior, comp gray wheels. Picked it up for a little more than $10,000 off MSRP. Good time to be a buyer!
Still putting some break-in miles on it, only has 25 right now. I can't wait to romp it at 7K rpm once the recommended 500 miles hits.

Jimmy, I still have the Viper. It is a fun hotrod, but attracts way too much attention as a daily driver. Corvettes are like belly buttons here in Houston, they do not stand out or attract too much attention. Kind of like a stealth bomber of daily-drivers.

What does the break in period help prevent?

My thoughts - potential excessive local thermal issues. The wearing-in of parts that move against each other creates extra heat until the surfaces are "friendly" with each other on a microscopic scale. That would add to the heat generated from unequal expansion due to different materials being involved and unequal rates of heating up as you use the motor harder and at more revs that happens anyway.
