Default "Thump" on first acceleration after wash.

Everytime I wash the del Sol, I will leave it in the garage overnight. In the morning, when I am ready to leave, there will be a little hesitation when I give it some gas and let off of the clutch and then there is a big "thump" sound. The car will not do it again until the next time I wash it. At first, I thought it might be that water was between the pads and rotors and freezing in there and breaking free, but last time I washed the car, it was 50° in the morning, so that couldn't be it. What could this be, the brake pads sticking to the rotors? The rotors are those cross-drilled ones, I am not sure what brand they are, and the pads look like they are pretty new, again, not sure of the brand. Anyone else run into this?
