My first new car - 2002 Max 6 speed

Last Friday I purchased my first new car. It's a Gray Luster 2002 Max 6 Speed. Due to registration difficulties, I couldn't drive the car off of the lot on Friday, but I taking ownership today and I'm juiced!! I bought it at Quirk Nissan in Braintree, MA. It's fully loaded except, the NAV and the HLSD (couldn't wait for it to come out). I wasn't 100% sure that I was going to buy. I had test driven a 2000 auto a few years back and loved. This time I just wanted to test out the 6 speed, but they gave me a good deal so I took it. I'm not the type to race people, but I do like to drive hard. I'm wondering how long should I go easy with the car until I can really see what she has? Thanks!!

Break-in is 1000 miles so take it easy for that long (see your owner's manual). After that let 'er rip!!

You won't even have to, there are not too(about 5 under 60k) many cars with 4 doors that can even challenge you
