Gah lets not start the whole running in thread, there is no evidence whatever to support the "run it in hard" theory whatever and not a lot to support the "run it in gentle" theory (other than every manufacturer in the world). If you want to cane your new car and feel smug about it then feel free, if you want to pussy it and feel smug about it then also feel free. Its not a rite of passage.
Personally I've built engines and I know just how compression and oil control rings work and most things I've read on the subject are utter utter crap along with the theory that if you dont bed in the rings when the engine is new they will never bed in ... what does metal on metal stop wearing? does it suddenly become smoooooooooth and frictionless? its UTTER tosh. Believe it and believe in Slick 50 too - that sounds pretty convincing too if you read up on it.
