Then, when I went to pick it up and they drove the car around, I fell in love and have been in love ever since. No regrets whatsoever. I'm doing my best to enjoy the beast but the 1500 mile break in is a new kind of torture!

No, total newb mistake! 1200 miles is still accurate (and a bit of good news to me since I had 1500 in mind).
