Right now the only reason she is driving it more often is to break the clutch in but she says she hasn't seen it go above 180 yet. Suggestions?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It would be better if she'd get the oil temp up higher though. You don't have to drive like an idiot to get the temps up, just stay 1-2 gears lower than you should be in while you cruise the small roads. Even at light throttle on a slow road, just keeping the engine up around 3-4K+ instead of 2K while cruising will raise the temps pretty quick.
Just be sure that oil gets changed out every few months, too.
