So would he be OK to drive it home? What about me when I drive from your place to Houston, tx? Should be fine right cause the motor will already be used.

Yes, it's a matter of routine for us to put a couple of hours of test-driving in around town, and then the customer drives it 6-12 hours home. Never had a problem.
