I heard about a car show the other day and decided I'm going to go try my luck tomorrow and see if I can win a trophy with my GXP.

I spent about 3 hours washing it, most of that time was spent on the wheels and engine bay. I forgot to take pics of the engine while I was in the garage, but I'll take some tomorrow.

A few of you might remember the infamous grasshopper incident a month ago. While I did find and remove two carcasses from tight spots of the engine bay, with this being the 4th or 5th wash, I'm still surprised my car smells like wet grasshoppers. I don't see any others, but the smell of raw meat is still there to some extent... LOL -__-

The time spent on the wheels was cleaning the insides, the bilsteins, and the inner fenders. I did the best I could in that amount of time, so hopefully it'll look pretty good tomorrow in daylight and I can score a trophy. I believe I'll mostly be competing against GTOs and G8s in my category. Wish me luck guys!

I didn't end up winning anything, but on the bright side I talked to a lot of people about my car and had a good time. Here are some of the pictures I took of my car there:
