SAVE THE DATE! June 10th Cars and Coffee

[Pat Milliken Ford]

Hello everyone,

June 10th will be our next Cars and Coffee. Would love for everyone to come out! As always we will have special parking for GT's. But you are welcome to bring any cool vehicle! A food truck will be here also with breakfast items. See you then

As long as the PPF is applied in time, I'm planning to join you for both!
Caveat being that the weather is decent.


For those who drive their NFGTs in SE Michigan, I've become increasingly conscious of just how bad our roads are as I prepare for my maiden voyage. Can you offer any tips or suggestions on how you navigate the war-torn streets with your GTs?

Sort of “pick and plan”
-Stay away from construction (I-275)
Oakland county I 75 as examples.
Southfield xway ok
No really good way however …unless you just leave car in garage.
I have over 10,000 miles on mine so I put up with the roads and drive it.

Well said Andy. March/April driving is a little dicey because they havent filled all the pot holes yet. After that it is much better. Not as many miles as Andy but over 5,000 miles on carbon wheels the whole time!

Best bet on roads: move someplace else. I have been impressed with Texas and Arizona roads.

And stay away from trucks! it's hard to avoid the rocks and stuff they drop or kick up, so keep your distance.

Thank you for the tips!
MI roads are daunting to say the least... I like @fjpikul suggestion, just move!
TX roads in Hill Country are great. Haven't experienced AZ roads, but I've read many posts from people who live/drive there and it sounds perfect. SoCal has some good roads, too.
