You guys from Detroit area crack me up! You have absolutely the greatest cruise on the face of the earth and some of you won't come because of the crowds!!!??!! Seriously, I have met some great folks at Woodward and I hope y'all will reconsider and turn out for this. When I came in 02, my brain locked up after days of looking at one fine car after another, I just got numb. I tell folks that NOBODY takes cars as seriously as the Motor City. I am a veteran of two Power Tours, various Chicago area and California cruises and I can tell ya, there is not anything like Woodward! Texas has nothing worth even mentioning, and its tough for a Texan to admit that! I tell my car nut friends that before they die, they need to experience the Dream Cruise. I'll be bringing at least two newbies this year, more if I can get them. Hope to at least provide a bit of economic stimulus. Hope to see you guys at the old Donut Cutter or wherever Moparts decides to meet. Lee.

When you have seen them every year for many years, and then how much worse it's gotten in recent years, you tend to either pass it up altogether, or hit a few spots where your buds hang out and leave early to avoid the evening drunken stupidity.
We have several of the coolest cruises all around that time. There's teh gratiot cruise, the harper cruise, the downriver, one in flint...lots. It's a good time. You just have to be in the mood, and the weather has to be good.
I am building a new smallblock though, and I plan on being there this year.
I would definitely love to meet a lot of you guys and shoot the bull. I agree something should be set up for moparts in specific, even if it's away from woodward. That would probably make life a lot easier for everyone.

Well all you local to Detroit members should pick a spot that we could call home base and I would have no problem trying to get us some special treatment possibly. Im currently trying to se if Schumacher to take some show cars up, that would help us get some good parking
Like was said earlier ... I wouldnt mind going up to
Pontiac to some place up there, its not as crowded
and you can play some.... I cant take my car to the
Donut Cutter... they just kick me out(no plates)

Amen! Agree 100%
The only thing I wish they could change is to keep all the minivans and modern cars off Woodward on Saturday. That would take care of a lot of the traffic jam issues. When we go, we always cruise Thursday/ Friday and park it on Saturday and walk around enjoying the cars.

Lee, here is the pic from the Ford Dealer in 02. Left to right John, Greg(?), me, Frank, Lee, Todd, LeRoy and I do know remember the guy on the end sorry. That was a great time. We will talk before you come up I am sure. Plenty to do car wise. We will send you home again with your eyes glazed over from all the car stuff. No worries there. Yes you are right, the only thing TX can brag about car wise, atleast in the Houston area that I saw was the Sat night cruise in Spring. It was about the size of a medium cruise here. It is considered huge down there. But it was still fun to go there with the Duster and freak people out when they saw the MI plate on it.
