Default Nothing like a cool morning wash

Decided that after three weeks of not having washed the car, it was time today. My wheels weren't looking the best from brake dust and the car overall was pretty dusty. We haven't had rain in weeks, so I saw little reason to wash it otherwise.

I'm sporting new Axis (of evil) Motorsport stickers, so all you haters go ahead and get it out of your system. But if you hate the stickers, that means you hate Joe, and that means you're a communist.

Finally installed new upper control arms on the right side last night after the front arm was getting to the scary point of making noise. That pinch bolt was more work getting it back in than what it took to get it out. Also noticed that the new rear position arm lacks a bump stop the old one had. Bentley says there's two designs and that you shouldn't use one on the other etc. But I also lack a stop plate it shows, so I fail to see a problem with the new arm.
