Same story here, I have 250 miles on mine, bought in November as well. I have been starting it every so often just to keep the battery up and hear it idle.

Get a battery tender if you can not drive it, it will save your battery. I actually had the original battery in my corvette for 9 years!

Seriously!!?? You have a 60K car and you are hesitating to change the oil after the break-in period?. Seriously?.

Depends on how patient you are, and how long it takes to get to 1500 mi. I could wait for 4 weeks to get over 1500 miles (well confession, I started cheating at about 1450 miles!) before going over 4K RPM, and would rather be safe than sorry. Oil change at 1700 miles. Cheap insurance, and another better safe than sorry.

I had the fluids changed at the end of the first summer ( 800 mi ), then again at the end of each summer after that. ( after 3 summers it has 2,008 miles ). Had them use the same stuff that came in it. Broke it in the way they said, never got on it till it had 1,500 mi, so far no SC rattle or any other problems. Enjoy your new car, its really sharp. Be safe.
