I recently found some pics from last years Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, Michigan. For those of you that do not know what it is, it is the queen mutha of car shows. 16 miles of Woodward full of cars, it is pretty unreal, the website says 30,000 cars. This is where the hot rod was born, where it all started, Jimmy's natural habitat, damn I was born a generation too late... Nowadays these damn fast and furious B.S. cars. somehow they can't afford a Camaro with some real power, but they can dump 20,000 into a civic, so that they can begin to hang with a Z28. the camaro is going to die in a year just because the youth of America is smoking crack or something, Wake up people, save a legend, buy a Camaro, or dare I say it, a Mustang, the Camaro is faster than ever, a great car... Enough of the rant, Check out the pics of American legends. This is not even close to all the pics I took that weekend, but it gives you a good idea of what it was like.
Fred and I expressing to everyone how sorry we were they couldn't be there as well

We went to the Henry Ford Museum, it was very cool, lots of old Planes, trains, and automobiles. A slice of Americana, this train was wicked huge.

They had many cars on display, including presidential limos, and antiques like this '59 caddy. Fred and I feel that this car would look great sitting in the weeds, with 20's. Woodward Dream Cruise was a great trip and I can't wait to go back this year.
