Both of my cars are down, not only missed crusin today but missed a chance to meet our own B52. Today was set up and figuring out what to do from all the activities in the different cities the DC goes through. Displays, concerts, food, DC official merchandise. Did I mention the cars? The stars that come here in the mitten to party with us. The participants from around the world. This is DETROIT. Of course we have the largest automotive event on the planet. Some are not even on the planet. Watching from above. Share your DC party pic's and stories with us in this thread.

Kiwis coming to Woodward 2027 !!!!!

Hello,

I had a great time cruising yesterday in Frosty's Firebird with Joe and his kids in formation behind us. We stopped at the best vendor site for t-shirts and Woodward wall art. My family and I returned to Woodward last night for the parade of old cop cars, firetrucks, Ghostbuster vehicles, Hollywood movie and Television classic vehicles - quite the loud blast from the past. The siren sounds of old from these vehicles are very different than today's first responder vehicles.

We might even go back again today to see whatever drives by.

Rick !!!! Where’s our pics ?????

Hello Chris,

I only took one picture yesterday and that was of Frosty's Firebird - I will get around to posting it - busy with kids here is my excuse. Frosty, OTOH . . . melted the lens on his camera while we were cruising taking so many pictures. Justa you wait 'til you see his pictures.

Frosty is also tied up today and some of yesterday dealing with replacing a faulty water heater at home. I will try to get more pictures today if we go. The weather here is so much better than in Louisiana for car show things - no rain and 80 F for a high today. And very mild humidity compared to down south.

Need your story and pics. Everyone has a different view of the whole show. I wait all year for this. Christmas, Bday, Halloween all wrapped up in one. Where's both of my rides? Now waiting for next year.

Hello,

OK, here we go. My wife and made it part of the way down Woodward Avenue in our forlorn little Kia rental car and I felt so inadequate among all of the loud Classic high horsepower iron. Somebody that looked official was collecting the Man Cards of every man driving a compact hybrid and thusly, I had to give mine up to the authorities. I may never get it back . . . I'm so ashamed.

JustA6 - in a high powered, supercharged six cylinder car -- how's that for my Woodward Avenue story that is only partially true?

My wife and I did venture down Woodward Avenue in our little red Kia hybrid rental this afternoon into mostly gridlock slow movement madness. The Kia got no thumbs up love from anybody sitting in chairs along the route but plenty of the Classics certainly did that were in the slow trip with us.

Time was running out on us and we eventually abandoned the route and headed off back to the grandkids. I will try to do better in the future with my writing and make believe skills.

And my only picture - Frosty below in his Firebird with the REALLY big motor and the awesome sounds out the back. There's no substitute for cubic inches and his car certainly checks that box.

Wait what? Thar's Lucy the Lemans.

yeah ! Where bb ?
