I would put money on the Polícia shutting WW down every night this week between 9 and 10...like literally closing down the road.

Which is a bummer, because the nights leading up to the cruise used to be the best for doing laps and watching because the traffic actually moves.

You are correct, during cruise week they kick everyone off the street at 9 or 10 PM, cant remember which.

I'm planning on taking the volt down on thursday night for the "silent" cruise sponsored by GM, probably wont have time to make it down otherwise, but you never know.

Now, who wants to get as many 86s as possible together for a Woodward lap at some point this week? I think Friday would be best.
Ill being my camera and we can have a little photoshoot before we roll.

Here are some pics I took at an 86 meet in Louisianna

I'd love to get some similar shots but with even moar cars and woodward in the background!
Nice pics! Any idea what wheels are on the red FR-S?

Hey guys (and gals?) I need body shop recommendations in the southeast Michigan area and it made sense to ask here since a lot of Michigan people seem to see this thread.

Well last Saturday I parked my car in my parent's driveway, and most definitely and assuredly did not forget to set the parking brake and leave the car in gear. Then a tree came up and kicked my car then dragged it back to give it some hard wood up the tailpipe.

Thanks

The gold wheels are some BBS knockoff but I don't remember the brand.
Friday will definitely get shut down before 10...
Who's game for tomorrow??

Actually meeting on Woodward could be tricky because you never know when cops are gonna roll through to clear out a lot (pretty futile since everyone returns after 15 mins of cuisin lol). It might be best to actually meet somewhere off Woodward. And roll out from there. How about the Home Depot on Coolidge between 13 and 14? It's a decent sized lot and far enough off Woodward that it won't be on the cops' radar.

We could meet up 7, and roll out at 7:30 to look for a lot on Woodward to get some photos.

Sounds good. The Meijer/petco lot at 8mile and Woodward is also a pretty cool place to meet. I was there last Friday and the cops were cool with us meeting there.

Autometric is where i had mine repaired and they did an amazing job. I was recommended to them by a patient of mine who has his ferarri's and Ford GT painting there....every year haha. He showed me some of their work and its pretty amazing. They arent cheap but they arent nearly as expensive as some of the other places ive seen around here, especially around the troy motor mall. There are a few locations, the one on van dyke in sterling heights is where i had mine done and they were working on a new M6, bentley continental and a new Rolls so i felt like my car was in good hands lol From what i hear the one in bloomfield hills is great too. Good luck!

I've been meaning to check out that spot. It's a little far from where most people hang (Royal Oak) though. What would everyone prefer??

Whatever works. That is far enough down to be out of the traffic though...might be easier to circle up and get on the road. Although if only 3 of us are going to make it that might not be a concern anyway.
