Anyone going to the Dream Cruise in MI this weekend?

[SALvation]

Expecting 1.5 million people for the Dream Cruise on Woodward this weekend. Thank god I don't live near the street although leaving work this week has been an absolute bee-ach! Anyone else planning to go? Friday afternoon right now and starting to see helicopters with banners all over the place. Time to gear up!

A bunch of people with nothing better to do, drive up down a boulevard named 'Woodward'.

its not supposed to rain anymore today. I dont like the fact that the cruisers are started on monday, though. I tried getting to Naked Furniture and just gave up.

Didnt help that i was behind a woman on a cell phone in a saturn who rear ended a brand new Trailblazer...

So it is just some street somewhere that people drive on over a weekend?

Woodward Dream Cruise Info

I am going to check it out tonight, can't go on Sat this year. I think it's fun, though it's sickening to smell so strong of exhaust afterward

its one of the first streets that were built when Detroit was expanding. Its actually M-1. The Woodward Dream Cruise is a 12 mil stretch were classic cars drive up and down, do burn outs, stuff like that. People get drunk, the police dont care, and the road is closed to anyone without a classic car.

there are alot of us michiganders here!

It is mostly restored cars, but these days almost anyone joins. They drive up and down, up and down. Well, actually it's more like: crawl, stop, crawl, stop, crawl, stop...

The burn outs are actually prohibited, but luckily that doesn't stop everyone from doing them

It's just fun to watch, everyone seems friendlier than usual (which is rare around here, trust me) and some of the cars are really worth seeing.

I have gone every year, and have yet to see a cop stop a burn out
