Although often ignored by buyers, the cars I've been acquainted with recommend at least some sort of break-in period.
Speaking of BMW: Here's a quote from a 2006 BMW manual: "Up to 1,250 miles: Attempt to vary both engine and vehicle speeds, but refrain from exceeding an engine speed of 4,500 RPM or a driving speed of 100 MPH. Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the transmission's kick-down mode. Once you have driven 1,250 miles the engine and vehicle speeds can be gradually increased."
The vehicle's brakes and even tires also need to "wear-in" to reach their maximum performance.
The vehicle's over-all efficiency and performance will be maximized by proper break-in procedures.
My two cents

New car "motor" break in period...?
by JH in.
often i heard that with a brand new car, you can't drive at a constant speed for a long period of time, because it isn't good for a brand new motor.
they recommend driving at varaiable speeds and variable rpm for the first 1000 miles atleast.. just wondering if anyone here knows about this, and how many miles does it take for a new motor to be able to drive very long distances at constant highway speed without any problem.

Nice job, Quotes!!
It's inspiring to me, actually.....the few times they've come to my door I've taken the "not interested" tack...but I think I'll try this sort of approach next time.
Keep up the good work.

I have a different take on why the boys in Brooklyn INSIST on this policy of carefully screening those who volunteer for QB work...
The thought occurs to me that this is yet another example of making some activity "special" and therefore a "ring" to be sought after, if you will. In other words, making it something that not all qualify for, makes those who DO make the grade, work harder to "keep the privilege" with the resulting larger pool of unpaid workers to build the Watchtower Society's empire.
Sort of a "reverse psychology" thing.....like admonishing a child *not* to eat any more cookies from the table....
Much the same as making the Elder's Flock book restricted circulation, same concept. The Flock book really is nothing all that special, just the restrictions on it make it seem "special"...the book that Pioneers who graduate from Pioneer school has the same purpose in my mind.
What do you think?

just created a site www.jwfacts.com
by jwfacts ini just put together a site that tries to logically show the witnesses are not the true religion.
just wondering how to get the information out to people that most need it.
also any ideas on how to get the site found by search engines.

Congratulations!
As far as the "comments" made about the various Watchtower teachings, I think this is a good thing, as it stands in contrast (and not competing with) the Quotes website, which intentionally does not have additional explanatory comments.
In my own search and examination of the teachings I had held dear for so long, I only *gradually* came to accept the fact that I had been duped and that so many of the Watchtower teachings are utterly wrong. Like a person going for a swim in cold water, I at first only "dipped my toe" into the seemingly cold water of other views, then gradually looked into/read more and more. So I think there's a place for this newest website, alongside Quotes and all of Randy's websites, and of course this place.
The point I'm trying to make is that the JWFACTS.COM website looks to be a great place for a soul-searching Witness to come to grips with the REAL TRUTH, that Jehovah's Witnesses do not have "the truth".

Traitors and heroes.
by Norm inthe whitewashed history of the watchtower society in nazi germany.. the man who became leader of the german branch of the watchtower society after the war is without exception portrayed as a beacon of virtue and faith, standing fearless against the nazis:.
*** w89 5/1 12 jehovah has sustained me as a friend ***.
many of the loyal ones, among them erich frost and konrad franke, who suffered much for the lords sake and later became branch overseers in germany, returned alive from the fiery furnace of persecution.. .

And proper, sarcasm-free thanks to Norm for the info.

WTS Bills US JWs $8.4 million for Traveling Overseers
by ezekiel3 inbeing announced at service meetings this week at all us congregations:.
a letter read during the announcements states that due to increased costs of health insurance and vehicles provided for traveling overseers (circuit and district overseers) the watchtower bible and tract society has determined the need to ask for a specific "contribution" for the "traveling overseer assistance arrangement".. .
until this date expenses of this sort were paid from the worldwide work or general fund of contributions.. .

Up to the time of my fade, such a letter requesting a per head "contribution" for such CO expenses was read annually.
The amount per head with this latest is much higher, though, if memory serves.
