I have a friend who works for a major auto manufacturer as an engineer. He told me to break in cars the way you are going to drive them. His opinion is that these delicate break in periods are to the benefit of the car manufacturer. I myself have done it both ways in the past with my cars and bikes and have not seen any difference.

What do you guys think is the worst case senario for not following the recommended break in procedure? ( Please do not take my comments as a break in recommendation or as trying to start an argument).
