Only a few Crossfires at the park today. Some must still be traveling. Is it still possible to join you for dinner tonight?

Lot of familiar faces! Good to see Gary killing it as usual every year as the "Crossfire King", well as I see it anyhow.

This will be the first Dream Cruise I've ever missed, 1 year short of the 30th anniversary! It all started as a soccer charity way back in 95. Sometimes work just sucks I guess.

Anyhow, I hope you all have a great time. Avoid the potholes, us Michiganders call them "bumps". If you go on 696 (or any other freeway) and don't do 95+ in the left lane you might (will) have problems. Pass the intersection you want to go left at, go 1/4 mile,turn left, go back 1/4 mile and turn right. Yes, it's stupid. You should have been here for all the first "roundabout" intersections.

The previous were jokes but this is serious...... The reason I sold my Crossfire was wheels. I went through about 3 wheel issues a year. The low profile tires and the roads here were not a good combo. Seriously... hang back and let the kids be kids.... the potholes and dips WILL break wheels. This year seems worse than I can remember, and I'm no longer young.

With all that said... Everyone enjoy MY favorite state and event! Feel free to take home an orange barrel as a souvenir!





​​​​​​​That Crossfire is STILL the best car I've ever owned.

I'm got back home from the Woodward Dream Cruise weekend at 1:40pm
785 more miles on my Roadster
25 Crossfires attended this 17th year at the Woodward Dream Cruise
The weather turned out pretty decent and on Saturday we got in and parked in Memorial park by 8:05am after our 11 mile drive down Woodward Ave from Pontiac to Royal Oak
Thanks to all who attended and it was an enjoyable weekend.
Here are the links below with the pics and videos I took over the weekend
I also a shared a couple links with our dinner pics at the Moose Preserve on Thursday and The Grand Tavern on Friday

Gary, Thanks for posting the photos. Looks like a good time as always. It looks like no rain for the show, glad it all worked out. Maybe next year. James
