Pretty sure it's ok to have some spirited driving throwin in there. Don't go crazy obviously but a couple pulls wouldn't hurt. Don't forget an oil change around 1000 or 1500 miles because of possible shavings from the engine.

ZZP said no hard driving for the first 500 miles, then change the oil and you're good.

For monitors to run you pretty much have to take a road trip idk exactly how many miles the cobalt takes but 70 miles sounds like a good number

If you haven't set monitors in 400 miles than somethings wrong. What monitors are open still?

You should give her a few pounds of boost (literally 2-4psi) to help set the rings. ZZP says no hard driving so no quarter mile runs or WOT pulls
