Cloud's car stuff

Is it really necessary to drive a new car "gently" for a while to break it in? Some things I've read mention 600 miles, I believe. Eeek! It would take me about (calculates) . . . 4 months of regular driving to reach this number.

What's the purpose of this, and what systems are the most critical to treat gently?

No, that went out with sword fightin' & knickers, except take it easy on the brakes for the first few miles.
