One day you will, and you will be happy you did. For now, we will keep looking forward to that day.

Long hauler for sure! Its hard for me to sleep the night before a car show. If we have friends come to a show and visit we might leave with them and get lunch or dinner but to me one of the best things about a car show is when its over and you hear all those cars come to life. Every year on Dream Cruise Day I am out there at 5am (now my feince joins me) to get our spot and meet with with my uncle and his 75 Trans Am. So we are up by 4 and down there at 5am. its fun watching Woodward come to life that day. Last year we were out there from 5am till 11pm sat through the rain and everything.

I usually park just north of 15 mile and Woodward at one of my companies buildings.

Are you going to the Dawg House for the last pre Gratiot cruise cruise night or any other cruise nights around town tonight?

JP usually the 2 weeks before and the weekend before the cruise is when we are really out there a lot. But we will be in Ohio this Thurs, Fri, Sat and home on Sunday for the NOCC, ACES Regional Show. We live close to Woodward and just hop into the car and are there in 5 min. We don't really have a particular spot to go. We look for friends and pull over. Like many cruisers, we always have chairs in the trunk, so any place you can park, is a good place. As long as the Police let you.

It is a bummer that Beaumont Hospital won't let the cruisers in that lot on the corner of 13 and Woodward. Well, that is until they can get the big bucks from the companies they rent the lot to the weekend of the WWDC.

As far as where we will be, we usually pull out the Cruisin'News and find something that sounds good. There are so many cruises every night, that sometimes it is so hard to decide.

If there is a particular place you cruise let me know, and maybe we can meet up there.

So JP were you out there today ? By the time I had finished with the funeral in the early afternoon, and then my grand daughters birthday, it started raining. And it was raining pretty hard in Royal Oak. So we decided to hang out at the party til 7pm and then see what the weather was going to do. It was still raining.

After spending 3 1/2 hours cleaning the car yesterday, I was not prepared to go out in the rain this evening. I also figured that probably most of the people had gone home with the rain. I know that there was no one out on Woodward when we past there around 7:30pm on our way home.

Hopefully Sunday we will meet up. I am hoping that the weather is a lot better.

Going to head out to the North Gratiot Cruise in a few minutes. I have to remember the camera. I am going to make a detour and drive by the big Troy Traffic Jam show first. Hope to see some friends out there today.

I was out for a little bit on Saturday but left before it started to rain (about 3pm) It was a decent turn out but the dark sky's scared alot of people away. Sunday was a blast though on gratiot. We found a empty lot just south of 15 so me and my friends and family had a nice spot for the day to show off our cars. Now we are working out our plans for woodward. We know we will be there by 5 am.

We looked for you on Gratiot. We were out there right around noon. We drove south from 16 mile to almost 14 mile then turned around and went north on Gratiot and finally parked right at 16 mile and sat til about 3pm. Then we drove south on Gratiot and got onto I-94 for the long, hot drive home. I am sorry that I missed you. We just seem to keep missing each other at these cruises.

Let me know what your plans are for Woodward. I have to check, but I am going to talk to our friend Andy who owns Andy's Pizza on 12 and Woodward. We usually park there every year. It is an easy in/easy out and they give you a pass to get into the parking lot. So let me know.

I also do the Berkley parade every year, it is the Friday night before the WWDC. I don't know if you are familiar with it, but the cars registered for the parade line up in the cemetery at 12 and Woodward about 5pm and then the parade starts at like 6:30 and the cars drive west on 12 mile from Woodward to Greenfield. The street is just packed with people and it is so cool. After the parade you can park for the car show...or just leave. I had registered grumpy's Jeep, but we sold the Jeep, so I have an extra "registered" card if you are interested. Just thought I would offer. Let me know.
