Default Kinda off-topic "Dream Cruise"

Today is the day! 8-21-10

Unfortunately, I won't be able to get over to Detroit to see the Woodward avenue Dream Cruise this year (drats!). If by some rare chance, you are not familiar with the event, it is a collection of 40,000 cars being seen by 1.5 million of your closest friends! It is being shown in real time. Check out: http://detnews.com/article/20100816/AUTO02/100816002

Dream Snooze? It sucks if you have an old or open car. They ruined the cruise by allowing diesel tour busses mingle with the cruisers. They get to sit in air conditioning living vicariously, while poisoning us with their fumes.

It's too big and not fun anymore.

I'm passing on it too. Just one big parking lot with all the kids in their daddys (newer)cars that don't have anything to do with classics tieing up traffic. There has got to be a better way to put this event on.

I'm glad I'm not alone in rejecting this kind of production. Give me a back road ride to a show on green grass anytime.

Wow after watching the video it looks like any road into any town on a Monday! A few old cars, maybe they let all the old cars cruise at night?
