Don't flood the car. Check your oil level often, keep a bottle or 2 of oil in your car. The rest..just read the faq's and search forums.

1st of all... don't crash it
2nd commandment: do not shut the car off cold
3rd commandment: do check oil and refill as necessary every other fill up
4th commandment: i will not rev above 4k rpm before warm
4th commandment: i will redline as often as i can afford to.

Welcome and congrats. You shouldn't be worried about your car breaking. Just pay attention to the oil level/changes and having the car warmed up before shutting off. Most of us have never flooded our cars ever.
