OK XFire Dream Cruisers - It's 7 weeks out, but here's what I've put together for us so far:

THURSDAY: Dinner for locals and early arrivers - TBD

FRIDAY:
3-5 p.m. The prototype car is supposed to be at the Chrysler Museum (we'll make sure ahead of time this year) so we could tour the museum and view the orig XFire again as a group. This time slot is a placeholder for now.
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Dinner at the Fox Grill on Woodward and Long Lake (approx 3.5 miles from hotel) TheFoxGrill Yes, we'll be right on Woodward with a separate dining room reserved and group parking adjacent to the restaurant. Cruise Woodward and hotel parking lot tailgating after dinner.

SATURDAY:
8:30 A.M. Depart for display area, which is the same location as last year (13 Mile west of Woodward) and will again be shared with the Prowler group. Note: Maps with all dining, display, lodging etc... locations will be provided this year. No one will get lost!
9:00 a.m - 6:00 p.m. Enjoy the Cruise, lunch on your own.
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Dinner at Brady's Tavern 13 Mile & Southfield (approx 1.5 miles from display area) Welcome to Brady's This place is my sister's 2nd home so she may join us with her Boxster. We have the entire back room and group parking in a lot next to the tavern. After dinner, cruise Woodward one last time (it closes at 9) and back to the hotel parking lot.

SUNDAY
Breakfast and departure for some. Others will provide a XFire escort for Valky as far as Lake Michigan and then tour the western side of the state for a few days. MsGump and Wolverine are setting up the itinerary.

Misc Issues
Go-Carting - If anyone is interested in carting over the Cruise weekend, Rob has a couple of locations lined up, so let us know if you are interested. With drive times, it'll be about a 4 hour time slot.

Dinners - PM me if you are definitely , 100% planning on attending the dinners so I can get and accurate headcount. Feel free to do your own thing if you so choose, I just need to know for the reservations.

Newbies - This GTG is dedicated to forum newbies, so new owners: try to make it if at all possible. If you don't have a Xfire yet, you have 7 weeks to get one and attend this event. You will have a blast, and can have your picture taken with Valky or meet Rob at NeedWings. Heck, we even let former owners attend with their Challengers (Scott Weber & Apkano).

Other - There may be some surprise attendees and a guest speaker or two, so stay tuned.......................My driveway carwash is also open all weekend (approx 4 miles from hotel)
