First step is to READ THE FINE MANUAL . . . . . Find out all the cool
stuff, like where the jack is hidden, how to fold the seats down, what
to do at the gas station....

No long trips, no long idling, no street racing. Drive it normally until
the first oil change. Do NOT change the oil prematurely.

You can rev it up a bit, (feel free to pass on the highway), and don't
'lug' it by trying to keep the revs too low around town.
