Who started this childish trolling shit? Admits he takes back handed shots at an OP that merely states how he spent a morning, then says he's not trying to be a dick exactly when he is being a dick. I do understand though given that he is in Nooo Yark. God Almighty I'd hate to live there too in Kathy Hockul's state, LOL! I'd be depressed too.... 
. But some are correct, this forum is infested with trolls, as in below and I will call it like it is. 
"For the record, my comment was a back handed shot at your break in method and the fact that a easy broken in engine usually consumes more oil than one broken in hard. We break them in on the dyno making WOT pulls and heat cycling the engines. Once we make several passes and heat cycles, the engine oil is changed and its off to the races - so to speak. They never consume a drip of oil after that.
My advice spend the next 1k miles hooning the dogshit out of it. See if you can salvage a "proper" break in. Ford's advice from the manual is sound for 200k mile longevity. But for normally driven vehicles, its going to consume oil and always be a tad down on compression v the alternatively broken in engine. Their advice is correct for minivans and appliance cars.
Not trying to be a dick, but when I read threads like this it makes me sad that its widely accepted to break in a performance engine like this, then have to rely on an aftermarket catch can to keep it clean for the foreseeable future. Good luck with it though, may your catch stay dry and unused."

So just so we're clear, the best way to break in your new sports car... is to drive it?! 
Jokes aside, congratulations on the new Mustang, and allegedly going a few MPH over the limit. I hear that there's a great driving companion named "Uniden R8", not sure what it does exactly but I understand it likes to chirp at convenient times...

Thank you for the positive and helpful comment, Negative Multiplier. There is always a little companion in my car named "Valentine One". Not sure what it does but it does seem to chirp at convenient times....So just so we're clear, the best way to break in your new sports car... is to drive it?!

sorry but I agree with the above guy. You should have done the 150 mph blast at 400 miles, not 1400.

Three things:
1. For all you know I may have done just that, nor do you or anyone else know how my car was driven up to 1400 miles.
2. In no way, shape, or form am I an "approval seeker" either on this forum or anywhere with anyone in my life. One thing I've learned is to live with myself and my values first and others can think what they want.
3. I respect your opinion so no need to apologize for anything. Thinking people have opinions. People that don't know what's going on around them don't have opinions.

1400 miles is broken in.
I did 1000 miles before I gave it the fagioli. (beans)
Frogdog the first did it right.

If I had a dollar for every time a "break in" thread has just become a heated argument between a couple of folks with far too much free time on their hands, I probably could have splurged for a Dark Horse instead.
Just enjoy the damn car. Some of y'all really need to find a hobby that isn't just lurking on 7G all day.
