So I discovered there's a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in Sterling Heights, MI, at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Needless to say, I'm planning on going.
The website says it's July 5th, but when I called them up, they told me it was the 1st Saturday of every month, so August 2, 8:30am to 12pm (noon).
I was wondering if anyone has gone to it, or is planning to go? I'm looking forward to this C&C because I've never been to one. Spread the word!

We've been... it's not that good unless you like Subarus of questionable taste driven by the youths . The C&C at Pasteiner's is a much better crowd, every Saturday 8-10am.

That is correct.
Won't make K2K for C&C. About a week too early. My car won't quite be fully back together.

Looking at the timeframe for Pasteiner's, 8 to 10, that isn't a long time.....but looking at the parking lot there isn't too much space there...hmmm

You're in Michigan, on Oppo, and you like Gundam too?? Why haven't I met you yet?? Come to Pasteiners! The space doesn't look like much but it's still plenty of fun! :)

There's additional parking, and it fills up with really neat stuff. That's where we get a lot of our photo dump material from.

Ha, I'm planning on it now. Tomorrow I'm gonna be swamped though. My wife badly wants to go to Elderly's in Lansing (music store), she wants to look at things we can't afford, :). I'm aiming to go to Pasteiners for next weekend, it's an hour trip for me, lol. I live in the Howell area.
Edit: gundam for the win!

Howell is indeed quite the drive for Pasteiner's, but it's well worth it for what ya get to see! :)
I'll be looking forward to seeing you next weekend then! :)

As am I. I have never met another opponaut before, plus the cars! And I'm guessing Pasteiner's is a hobby shop? If so, I'm even more excited to go!

Pasteiners is the best store in the world for car people. Check out my shots from inside the store here - http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/so-i-just-foun…
There are TONS of car things to do in SE MI on weekends. Check my profile for lots and lots and lots of photo dump posts from all sorts of shows.

That sounds awesome!
I should ask though, what other stores are there? Specially craft stores and knife stores. I'm thinking of the missus, and if she comes something to keep her occupied, :).

Oh man, I guess since my dad wasn't a guy car I didn't' get to experience this stuff growing up!
Mind if I share this to LaLDiecast ? It'll make them drool, :).

Uh.... I'm not the one to ask for that, but there's a Michael's nearby. Oh! You could visit my mom's store! :D
In downtown Birmingham.

Just to get you a bit more excited, here are some shots from previous Woodward weekends (including Pasteiners).

If you can find something to do in the area for the whole day, I recommend staying for the nightly shenanigans on Woodward (weather pending), although I don't know if Yamahog and I will be out Saturday night. I'll try to make it out at least for a little bit tonight though.

No worries. You should go check her store out though. I think you'll find it fun!

You're totally not helping, lol. I'll probably stay for 4 or 5 hours. I'm driving from Howell, and I'll probably leave around....6:30 I think? Plus my mom and sister are visiting, but its mainly to see my daughter. I'm just the father after all, lol.

So I noticed you said in one of your posts that you don't have a camera, is that still true? If everything turns out a-ok and I make next week, I'll be bring my own real camera. My wife wanted it specifically for baby pictures, :). Yay credit cards!

I think its just going to be me next week, but I'll look at it and tell her. My mom and sister are flying in next Wednesday for a couple of weeks. But I'm not gonna lie, they are mainly there to see my 1 yr daughter. So I can disappear for a couple of hours and no one will notice, lol.
I am excited though, :)

Still no real camera. All the shots come from my shitty iPhone camera. Might have to hide my car from your lenses though - we're taking it down to Ceder Point tomorrow so I don't think I'm going to bother washing it.

Ha, don't feel bad. I drive a '08 PT Cruiser in Surf Blue Pearlcoat; I couldn't hide it if I wanted to! :)

My car's color makes it a bit hard to hide as well.
