Woodward Dream Cruise
« on: July 24, 2018, 08:15:35 PM »
Anyone going to be at the Woodward Dream Cruise this year?
Just found out that my part time work is having a meeting there Thursday-Sunday
So it’s like being paid to go, what could be better
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

The Automotive Gods and Goddesses have smiled upon you.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

My son wants us to go and take the GTA because of the A/C and usually there are GTAs parked together on Mustang row.
How fast will the temp climb in that traffic with the A/C going?

Saturday it should be called the Woodward Dream Crawl. It is bumper to bumper as far as the eye can see. I’ll be parked at the Bell Tire Store at Woodward and 13 mile on Saturday

The wife has an appointment on Weds, so I probably won’t make it. Went last year to one of their shows, great cars with even greater people

Cars actually come out Monday.  Wednesday and Thursday evenings may be the best as traffic still flows.  After that it slows down and the weekend is a "crawl."

We are locked and loaded heading for Detroit at 4:00am. It’s my birthday weekend, so we always try and do something memorable, last year it was go to South Carolinia for the eclipse, then 2 days later in Lancaster Pa. for a ride in a Ford Tri-Motor, the year before it was drive to the Simone Museum and get up close and personal with the original Daytona Coupe, even got to park right next to it and see it drive. This year it’s the Woodward Dream Cruise, I hear we might run into some rain on the way out, but that helps keep the dust down
Hope to see a lot of the Shelby products cruising around
This is what life should be about, driving around and doing things that are memorable

I work about a mile east of Woodward & 15 mile, by this afternoon (Thurs ) it will be a challange to get from the east side of Woodward to the west to go home !! Tomorrow will be even more frustrating, Saturday is nearly impossible to transverse E to W or W to E.

If the weather is good for Saturday the movement is measured in in/min not miles/hr :)
