I figured even if it was for a vacation you can’t help yourself from buying another car that you could drive home and fix up.

This time it's my friend that is partly to blame, I have him convinced he needs a XK to match his XJR. How is it his fault you may ask? No idea but he has a jag already so I'm blaming him

Did you buy your 4Runner in Canada?......I notice that the speedometer is in the KMH range, not MPH. Or does it shift back and forth between English and Metric at the push of a button?
