DECEMBER
December wasn't very eventful for the car: I changed shifts at work and proposed to my girlfriend!
Some of the perks of clocking out at 11pm, however, is you get an empty parking structure to yourself!

With a lot of shops fully booked or backordered, I was able to snag a bash bar from Limitless Auto Fab. It shipped in a raw finish, so I painted it my go-to black: Toyota 219

barely allows a 17mm socket to reach the bolt for mounting as well, so it was unfortunate that I had to ruin the fresh coat of paint.
And that's a wrap for 2021!
A wash was in order to welcome the new year:
