Talking free floormats

Picked up my car on Friday. Thanks for all the replies.

No front plate bracket yet but the dealer said I can bring the car back anytime to get the holes drilled. My big surprise was the floor mats. I didn't feel like spending $120 for floor mats & didnt' include it in one of the options. The car came with the mats non-the-less. My sales guy told me that they now come standard although you can still pay for it during order process.

I was also told that Porshe does run motors at various speeds at the factory to break-it in & I don't really need to break-in the engine other than keeping it below 4K RPM for the first couple of thousand miles. How did other folks break-in their engines? Did you like the results?

Thanks

PS. Still trying to wipe the smile off my face

That is about right. If it were me and I was going to keep the Box very long term, I would do an oil change at 1000 miles and then again at 10K.

But then, I am anal on the oil change thing!
