According to the 2022 Owners Manual. At this time, do not exceed 4000 rpms, do not exceed 129 kph or 80 miles per hour. Torture. Follow these recommended guidelines during the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi) of driving this vehicle. Parts have a break-in period and performance will be better in the long run. . Avoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops. . Do not exceed 4000 engine rpm. . Avoid driving at any one constant speed, fast or slow. . Do not drive above 129 km/h (80 mph). . Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle when the engine speed will exceed 4000 rpm. . Do not let the engine labor. Never lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. With a manual transmission, shift to the nextlower gear. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period. . Do not participate in racing events, sport driving schools, or similar activities during this break-in period. . Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be higher than normal during the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi). . To break in new tires, drive at moderate speeds and avoid hard cornering for the first 322 km (200 mi). New tires do not have maximum traction and may tend to slip. . New brake linings also need a break-in period. Avoid making hard stops during the first 322 km (200 mi). This is recommended every time brake linings are replaced.


Should the vehicle be used for racing or competitive driving (after break-in), the rear axle lubricant must be replaced beforehand.

I make mine walk, or just throw them in the back of the pickup

They're probably waiting for the snow to melt...

So they can sit in the new Cadillac Blackwing with that very special supercharged v8 engine! My supercharged V8 Mercedes says hello.

Love it. The weather here has been good enough for at least a drive per week.

I'm at 1600 miles so far, every one quite blissful! All my son ever wants to do is go for a ride in the Blackwing. It really is exhilarating!

I drive your car in the night, at various speeds, in various gears, and undertake this torture for you.

Have you ever been tempted to make a skeleton inspired by Arabic characters or verses, I think it could work great.

The car is almost certainly an Aston Martin Rapide. The watch is not a typical model as it has been customized by our illustrious member.
