Woodward 2015

Post by CMNTMXR57 »

As the snow falls this morning, :sadeyz:

I am thinking of happier times... Woodward.

What is it?: A week celebrating cars, in the home of the American automobile, Detroit, MI.
When is it?: The third Saturday in August (technical date this year is the 15th). But it's the entire week leading up to the 15th.
Official website: http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/

So I am just reserving this thread for this topic. Thanks, please drive through.

Awesome. I know we talked about it this year, but it was a last minute thing and hard to organize everything. Not to mention your clutch issues.

Should we do the MI meet the few days leading up to? Just a thought...

Well, for Woodward, I usually come up that Wednesday night, and then have Thursday and Friday to party like it's 1999.

I'll be there with ya Lane, if it rains we'll have a K series convoy, since at this point my fleet is equally spendy to drive. Lol. Planning to have the GXP body work done by then though so it should at least be presentable.

If it rains we'll all pile into my car. Since apparently I'm the only one stupid enough to let precipitation and winter weather to be exposed to my car, lol.

Mine got wet last year. There are pics somewhere (as well as witnesses), to prove this travesty and *dang* near major National catastrophe!

I'm crying on the inside (you can see the front of Ben's car too)...

Mine has seen all kinds of weather at least once, but I don't like to push it. :P Because resterilization efforts take time, and after detailing cars all day I'm never in the mood to do it off the clock.

I'm in. May have a few +1's. We'll see. Hopefully I'll have something a little more "fun" by then, if not the SSEi will do.

On another side note, I'm sorry I booked my room through Expedia last year as now, EVERY freaking day, I get an email from them about great travel deals...

So unless you want this pain, either use an email addy you don't care/check, or just avoid them. I'll probably just call the place directly and reserve.

Yes. It's the cheapest and pretty close to the action.

Plus, for those interested, the in-house entertainment has 12 - 15 channels of free pron.
