The first 1000 miles should be driven with ease to break in the car.
This is UNTRUE!
The honing process on the cylinder walls create peaks which are quickly worn down to create a seal with the piston rings. The spring pressure from the rings is nowhere near what is needed for proper sealage. The combustion process is what expands the rings to conform to the cylinder walls. Good acceleration and deceleration is a must to create a good seal. So, go ahead and accelerate a good amount to wear in that engine properly, just watch the RPM's. The window of opportunity is very small [less than 60 miles for the first 75% of the break in process]

you need new brakes
This might not help... Get a new one.
You can either save for any break down or you can have a new monthly car payment.
You can break into your own car, but unlocking it is easier... In my opinion
You may not be able to return a car the next day if it is not in your contract that you can. A contract is a legally binding agreement and the car dealer is not required to allow you to break it.
You just used fuel injection? Gimme a break...
It is not the speed that will ruin a new car engine, it is too much heat. Do not drive fast or rev up the engine for more than a minute or two, then let it cool off. This is actually a good way to break in an engine.
You can drive into the car you want to break when it is parked. It would be best to do this with an old, cheap car that you don't care about.
Make a pro-con chart. New car: Long life, comfortable & stylish, works well; however, expensive, including other costs. Old car: reliable, can break, can be sold for cash.
Yes, as long as they dont break anything to get to it.
