Here's to you Milky! You're Crossfire is awesome and it was nice to finally meet you and to meet someone I didn't originally know on here! There really should be an Oppo-meet here in Michigan, can we make that happen? People from Michigan?

Edit: I'm seeing interest in a Dream Cruise meet-up, if we can all find some time that week when we're all not working, let's make it happen!

Have a Crossfire!

CrzRsn and I are in metro Detroit, when it gets closer to Woodward Dream Cruise we should set something up.

That'd be great. I bet I could Possibly get Dwhite on this too if he's not busy; we live not to far from one another.

Woop woop, it was nice to hear that ST. Now if the cops would just leave woodward alone, more car fun could be had.

Soo much hooning! But they'll be cracking down as it warms up.. :(

Just passed some cops on Woodward as I read that... Good thing he's driving the Mustang and not me.

A Dream Cruise meat up would be awesome. I'd totally be down if I'm not working the day we have it.

Friday night they were being complete buzzkills, so much for the "motor city" right?

Made an edit to the post, as it seems a DC meet-up would be the most fun! Hopefully we're all not busy, but we've got that entire week to find time! I'm sure it'll happen.

Where are y'all normally at? I had a girlfriend visiting from Chicago so we only took a quick look before bars.

Well, if we just jump into our respective time machines and go back 10 years, we could meet at my place for one of my epic Dream Cruise BBQ's !

The WDC is one of the biggest things I miss about living in southeast Michigan... Well, that and my friends that still live there.... :-(

In the Mid-Atlantic near Philly. There is a car scene, but it's not like S.E. MI.

There definitely is a car scene here no doubt, but the cops have been killing it recently.. :(

Are the police breaking up gatherings or stopping street racing ? They have always been hard on street racers, but let peaceful gatherings go on without any issues... M-59 was a hot spot for late night drag races from Opdyke (Pontiac) east to Squirrel Rd, but that was years ago... I am told that there where basically race-prepared tubbed-out alcohol burners racing there. Fookin' nuts !

Breaking up gatherings with very little hooning. Like how people met up at the Potbelly if you remember where that is on Woodward. It's now overrun by my generation of car enthusiasts, the majority there are trolls who don't know when enoughs enough and hooning occurs in the parking lot who's owner hates us. Not many sensible people my age there and the cops come to kick us out every weekend.. Because there's always someone there to ruin it :(

Now the cops just go all out and kick us out before something happens, Friday night, they were pulling into the lot every 20 minutes kicking us out because apparently we were disturbing the business that was already closed after hours. ROPD is kinda being an ass about this but in some ways I can't blame them.

Not sure about racing on the M-59 though, I'm sure it still goes on, it still does in Flint.

Hmmm, well there is your problem... The biz owner has clearly called in several complaints to the ROPD about 'douche-bag kids' on his property. You need to find a different crowd to hang with. There are regular meets with marginally responsible adults all up and down woodward with some particularly cool cars with some real craftsmanship in them - not a couple of stickers and 'cold air intakes' bolted on, and I can guarantee that the PD is not bothering those cats.

We used to roll M-plates responsibly and regularly on Woodward - especially newly released stuff that our friends had an interest in... That's a form of grass roots marketing that you can't do anywhere else.

There aren't many people when I'm out other than these hooligans sadly.... :(

There are some actually genuine people in that bunch of madness, but they get grouped in with the rest of them, me included. The mucle-car guys still go to the shell gas station when it's warm up, but I've got no muscle to bring over so I stay away so as to not be awkward..
