We've gone lower, speedlimit...never on topic though so far as I remember.

Please keep it on topic though or this is gonna end up in OT too.

On the plus side...then you could talk about dog dongs all you want.

I'd be very careful if you're using a pressure washer. It took just one time not being careful, and I bent a lot (probably 100s) of the fins on the intercooler of the Evo 6 with a normal (although be it powerful) hose. I probably hit it from just the wrong angle, but the point is those fins are much more fragile than they seem at first - more like some kitchen foil than a radiator. I was able to bend most of them back to a reasonable level, others were too damaged to rescue - and it never looked quite right again.
