Whats a good day to go.I arrive on sat

Any day. As long as the weather is still decent there are cars out every night after 7 PM.

The dream cruise itself is tedious. Way better before or after. Cops are not particularly friendly south of 14 mile.

If you want to depart from the garage, I'm less than 5 minutes off Woodward.

If they could keep the mini-vans, Honda civics, and Chevy pickups off Woodward, it would leave alot more room for the real cruisers.

The lifted trucks is what drove me nuts. Nothing like a jacked up F-250 with it's side pipe aimed straight in your window for 45 minutes. I'm sure that's what a million people attend to see.

To each his own...but...:facepalm:

(That truck qualifies for SOOOOOOOO many tickets here in Washington State you wouldn't believe it. Bumper height, headlight height, no mud flaps - the list is endless...)

Do you suppose there's a rope ladder on each side of that rig to facilitate entry & exit?

Hell I thought that picture was taken in Houston, Texas. Wouldn't I look good trying to throw Sue up into that Truck. That's what Was all around me when I took my GT to Houston to our luncheon two weeks ago. I was a nervous wreck and also couldn't breath for the fumes. Bubba's out everywhere and most here have never been in 4 Wheel drive but they have it. Crazy.

When I was younger I drove a 1979 F250 that my brother dropped a 429 in. It had huge knobby tires and a welded chain steering wheel about 1' in diameter. I always wondered why it handled funny.

Let's plan a dinner cruise Monday night. Pasquales on Woodward has plenty of good parking and is a big restaurant to accomodate a lot of people. 6:00 gathering at the hotel?? just asking.
