He said to do city driving, and avoid excessive idling (keep the RPMs varying) for the first 500 miles. Then for the next 1000, be easy on it, but freeway driving would be OK for this period.

Does this sound OK? Or should I be doing something different?
Aw man. I just don't see it. I think you're screwed.
