Break in Secrets
I did this with my MINI JCW and two motorcycles and they never burned a bit of oil or leaked anything.

Drive it like you stole it!olice:

And give them hell on earth if they don't give you a full tank of gas.

I prefer to wreck 'em before you get too attached.

Drive it the way you will in real life or like you stole it. It wont matter, it's a Toyota, you cant hurt it!

I'm glad I found this on the way to pick up my new te I'll make sure I do hard driving the first 20 miles or so.

Prepare to decide on an extended warranty, that is when they hit you up for that.

Hope the delivery went well, without too many surprises.

I ended up paying 2k for 8 year 125k warranty... I also had 12 miles on the odo but they had to drive it to the tint shop. For the next 50 miles I was in 3rd gear mashing the throttle then coasting so I basically put my hazards on and went from 20 MPH to 80 MPH for about 45 mins. Lol. I broke all my bikes in this way and have never had any engine issues on them. It's got about 120 miles on it now. I am doing an oil change tomorrow with a new filter then again in 1500 miles. After that I'll be running Castrol synthetic. Does anyone know anywhere that makes external oil filter kits that allow universal 2 mic filters to be screwed on?

Waiting for delivery seemed to take forever, but once you get to the lot and see your new car, it all becomes totally worthwhile. Seeing it again in person reaffirmed how awesome this truck looks.

Delivery went incredibly smoothly. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Full tank of gas, and no accidents on the way home. Thanks to everyone for all the great advice!

I know its not the most original pic, but this was taken at minute 1 of ownership.
