Just kidding. Let it warm up for 30 seconds in the morning then drive away. Keep the reves below 5K for the first 1K miles. Avoid extended periods of full throttle, some is ok but only briefly. Also, let the engine do some of the braking of the vehicle. This will allow the parts to shift to the opposite side of the engine and transmission and allow a proppor bedding in of parts. Speaking of brakes, avoid harsh application of the binders for the first 200 miles. The break pads and rotors need time to seat also. Change your oil at least every 5K or sooner. I would not advise on going 10K between changes like the owners manual does.
Good Luck!!!
