congratulation!! and welcome to the board. 
for break in, it only require you stay under 5500rpm and don't press the brake hard for the first 600 miles
although some people include me will wait to after 700 mile or even 1000 miles for the first VTEC just try to play safe.
from my experience of my last 00 S2000, F20C need more than 10000 miles for completely break in.
hey, at least you drive 12 miles each day...I am in Bay Area, and my car is in LA, I probably won't finish engine break in until spring break or even summer...
enjoy your new S2000!!

welcome! come to our meets - something seems to be going on almost every week. oh, in case you don't already know where to find out about the meets, check both the so cal and meets & events forums regularly. meloman may even put together a last minute drive for this weekend.
i only drive my S on weekends and have put 1,500 miles on it since 1/14. you've got to do more than just drive it back and forth from work! check out angeles crest and azusa canyon - they're close to you!
