Default Woodward Dream Cruise

Anyone in town for the Woodward Dream Cruise? Just got back home, and its Gearhead heaven out there. If Detroit made it, its out there.

Interesting that you mention this. When I went to the Car Craft show in St.Paul this year, the normally huge GM display was replaced by one small blow up banner. No cars, trailers, parts, nothing.

This years Dream Cruise was by far the best one in years. I've been to all 15, and the last few have felt more like a corporate event than a celebration of Detroit Muscle. The absence of corporate sponsors was not missed. Attendance was down and there were not as many cars as in years past, but the bottom line is that it's sort of returned to its roots. The only down side was that as usual there were too many daily drivers in the two outside lanes that are supposed to be for cruisers only.I've posted a link to some pictures.
