Whatever you do, idle it and get out! as soon as you go for a spin "around the block" will turn into 50$ worth of gas and melted goodies under the hood

just start it, check for oil leaks and ----, give some gas a couple of times and shut it off. You do anything else and u'll be melting ----

or you could drive with no hood and let the hot *** gas escape =P

turning it on to idle is fine. driving a bit (2 blocks or less) should be fine. driving to work and back with no downpipe = loud as hell + engine bay hotter than satan's house.
