Congratulations on the new 4Runner. Be sure to read the Owners Manual. Pay special attention to the chapter on Vehicle Care and Maintenance. Especially the advice on the page where it says "to extend the life of your vehicle rotate the tires not the vehicle".

Today's Earworm is Boomin' by tobyMac. Mostly because I like the combination of the video and the soundtrack. Best with ...
