The car has been turned into a sort of camper car.
On the roof there's a 100w solar panel, 2 bike racks and an external antenna for internet access.

In hibernation with battery on charge most of the time.
Removed the window tint as it looked to be fading a bit. Not sure to re-tint or leave as is. If I do I'm thinking illegal 20% and even darker...

Corner balanced the car today!
