Well - you really need a lot of speed to see how this car does in terms of flickability
so when you bring it back from getting the clearbra tomorrow make sure you take back roads and get it up to about 100mph or so. The suspension lightens up a little at that point and you can get a really good feel for the handling.
As all of us on this forum know from MOTOman we don't need to worry about beating up a car early on at all, so no need to worry about flogging it right off the bat. Besides, the new owner will probably be pleased that you have done him the favor of getting some of the stiffness out of the new systems.

man if i was buying that car, and i saw you driving it like that, i would be pissed
when i was sitting in the s4 i was about to buy, a man walked up and said "can i sit in it?" being that it wasnt yet my car, and i didnt really care, i said "sure". The asshat proceded to hop in, right in front of me, and rev it up to redline in neutral. twice. (car had 40 miles on it). I wanted to smash the guys face on the hood and make him buff it out.

yea I know how you feel...
I drove my car off the truck.... and went along with the tech on the inspection drive. So only 2 miles were put on the car not be me that I know about. Dojo can easily get some $$$ off his car for that. Using the ebrake to enduce oversteer on a brand new car thats not yours.... shame on you
