Also... Stuff I've been [i]doing[/i] with the car...

I started AutoX in 2012.

Took 2nd place in Novice 2012 Slush Series.

[attach]209907[/attach]

(BC Coilovers, 18x8 wheels, Toyo T1R Tires. (It was ****ty))

Took 1st place in G-Stock 2013 Championship Series and Slush Series.

[attach]209908[/attach]

(Koni shocks stock springs, stock wheels, Direzza ZII tires. (It was pretty good))

Took 3rd place in T2 2014 Championship Series. New rules made 4 digit numbers illegal. I had to pick something with 3 digits.

Went to Thunderhill in December 2014.

Removed a bunch of decals yesterday...

[attach]209900[/attach]

It looks so weird to me.

Picked up another set of tires today.

[attach]209899[/attach]

The struggle is real.

Removed the race decals to make way for EDC decals.

[attach]209893[/attach]

My car was the Fun-vee.

My roommates car was the Hum-drum-vee. (Thank god he was a good sport about it.)

[attach]209895[/attach]

[attach]209896[/attach]

And now the car has no decals on it at all.
