been there, just recently...500 will go by quickly....just take her easy, varying speed and avoid wot if you can, then you're home free! ..the car gets better with age, got 1500 on it now and it's fun to drive for sure. just got the vortex box installed, pulls even more than before between 3000 and 5000 rpms. Enjoy!

Took me over a month to break the magic 500 mile mark. Was busy at work and rain didn't help during this period.

Now I can :smash: it.

:cheers:

Drove mine back from Ohio, (534 miles to the house), next day was GREAT!!

Take one long trip on back roads or run to the 7-11 (in the next state), make the time, it's worth it!!!! :chevy :chevy
