Appreciate it Scott. I over reacted for sure but anyone who has met me on this board would tell you i'm the least serious guy. Like I said it's mainly because I was looking forward to turning into something fun with the drive. Remember a sense of humor is all relative. When a complete stranger is sarcastic, it's very easy to misunderstand or overreact. I'm still getting to know everyone. If Moose for example called me an douche I would laugh but if a random guy in the store called me one it would be different.

Do you mind explaining a clutch break in period? For example when you get a new car they give you a break in period in which they recommend a minimum miles with a certain driving style but you said it has nothing to do with distance. So you're saying I don't need a 500 mile break in for clutch? From what i've seen even on your forums is guys who DON'T take it easy for break in period lose a clutch within 20k miles. My OEM clutch has lasted 68k miles which I assume can partially be attributed to proper break in. I did just read though 500 miles is conservative and some clutch shops recommend just 200.

BTW this isn't a who's E-PEEN is bigger contest? I thought all forums were!
