Tomorrow is the 12th annual Woodward Dream Cruise in Metro Motown. Over 1.5 million people will line Woodward Avenue from 8 Mile Road (YEP! The same 8 Mile from the Eminem movie) to downtown Pontiac. 16 Miles of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars, Street Rods, Customs and Wannabe Junkers. . . Over 40,000 cars in all will cruise Woodward Ave. in addition to people passing through just to see the excitement. . . YAWN!!
Don't get me wrong, but a classic car cruise in Motown is about as rare as a Mexican restaurant in El Paso. . . On any given night during the summer, I can go to at least 20 locations that have some sort of cruise event.
But, Woodward is special, dare I say SACRED. . . In the 50s and 60s, cruising on Woodward Ave. on Friday and Saturday night was a right of passage. If you had a cool car, you had to cruise on Woodward . . . It may have been a law at the time LOL!! Street racing was cool!! Regardless, Woodward was the place to be. . .
I love old cars, particularly from the 50s and 60s. . . But, you won't find my ass within 15 miles of that cluster fuck this weekend. . . 1.5 million people?? I don't think so. . .
If you ever come to Motown in August, come for the Dream Cruise. . . Just once. . . It's a pretty cool sight. . . ONCE!
HUGGSS!!
