I asked him before. He said because the car has barely been driven for years and for it to go from hardly driven to driving on the turnpike would be too much of a strain on the car. On the turnpike you got to at least go 70 and thats being slow. lol... he said that i should gradually, for lack of better words and the way i understood it, "break" the car back in. To minimize causing damage to the car.
