I don't believe in breaking in a new vehicle that way. There are lots of posts about and opinions on how to break in an engine but I'm more in the let it fully warm up and then drive it like you stole it. Supposedly gets the rings to seat better. Also lots of hard breaking to bed in the brakes.
Yeah, I don't plan on driving it like I stole it but the trip home will definitely be 200+ miles on an interstate. I don't plan on doing anything crazy but wanted to make sure it wouldn't be doing more harm

Just fluctuating the RPM's, speed & gear position while on the highway, that's all that is needed.

Just placed my first order with Daniel at Gupton.
He was great to work with.
The previous two were with Chapman.
They were great, too, but we've got family in Nashville we've been meaning to visit, so we'll make a trip out of it.

Are they still offering the 5 or 6% under invoice, plus any program incentives?

Fortunately, manufacturing processes have improved a lot since the 60s/70s. Not necessary with a factory engine anymore.

Yup.
5%, 6% if you finance with them
And tread lightly or affiliate.

06 Honda Accord. 2023 JLUR XR HVY ordered 6/25.
Placed my order yesterday. I'm in Baltimore and admittedly there are quite a few under MSRP and under invoice dealers between here and Tennessee. Of the handful I reached out to, only one responded. Their response was a cut and paste email that was so poorly written I could barely make out what they meant. This was a well known, high volume dealer.

Working with Daniel was so easy. Clear communication with timely responses. Driving the new JLUR through the Blue Ridge Mountains on the way home doesn't sound so bad either.

It was originally a 6/10-24 delivery window, but slipped to 6/30-7/14. Just sitting, waiting on a truck.

Ordered mine on 1/28. It arrived at Gupton over the weekend. Just over 5 months. Would love to know how some are delivered very quickly and others takes months. I'm not complaining - just curious. Can't wait to pick it up.
