| CJ | Don't know if any of the owners (except probably Larry Bell) will be attending the Dream Cruise this year. We drove down Woodward late yesterday afternoon and was surprised that there were not many cars out cruising! Usually, it starts the weekend before the Dream Cruise Saturday and runs all week. The epicenter of the Dream Cruise has always been on Woodward and 13 Mile Road. All of you that attended the 10th Anniversary event can remember how busy it is there. Chrysler, for a long time, occupied that corner (which was a huge parking area with a strip mall). The local hospital purchased all that property and all the businesses are gone. It's all dug up with a tall blue fencing around the entire property. I doubt that you can't even sit on the curb. That parking lot was usually filled with cars during the week before set-up for the Chrysler/Mopar display. It just isn't the same.  I don't think it will be the "epicenter" anymore. So sad.......

| koolkty | This will be my first one with the Prowler so I plan to be there during Friday afternoon through Sunday. |
| DublinOH | Amanda and I are headed back up Thursday morning in a viper. We'll call you when we get in town so we can hook up somewhere. |
| TriJim | We 'cruised' Woodward Ave on Friday with the Motor City Vipers. They offered us parking and viewing location with the Detroit Area Modern Mopars (DAMM) at Woodward Camera at Emmons Ave (a couple blocks North of 14 Mile Road). On Saturday, Motor City Vipers have reserved space for parking and viewing at the Birmingham Masonic Lodge (just North of Big Beaver on Woodward). I can't speak to the number of cars on Woodward since this was my first time, but I was impressed by the quality and variety of display cars 'cruising' and parked along the road. I'm sure it's busier on Cruise Day, but I enjoyed the experience none-the-less. Good luck to those staying for Saturday. |
| tangled up in BLUE | ...we will roll in Wednesday afternoon in the "Big Purple Dodge", told you I would never miss it unless I was dead  |
| RPL | I believe that quote was that you'd be the last one standing on the curb. LOL Maybe you'd like to join me for our Wednesday night dinner. Give me a call. |
| greatkat | Hi Bob, CJ, I will be attending. Hope to see you there. See my PM. To Larry Bell ..... see you at the hotel. |

| koolkty | I was out on Woodward last night. Plenty crowded and lots to see. Near 14 mile I luckily grabbed a spot in a lot right by the edge of the road, and the Prowler definitely caught some eyes. Many people walking by and most stopped to look. Only saw two other prowlers that night; who had the blue one towing a pedal car during the 20th? Saw it drive by. Also saw a red stock prowler parked. I plan to head out early tomorrow. |
| RPL | Blue one with the go-kart is Jerry Nauman. He's offering parking just west of Woodward on 12 Mile on Saturday. |
| DublinOH | Amanda and I made it into town around 5 tonight.hit Woodward for a few hours. Only saw a purple prowler early on just south of Pontiac headed north bound. Ran into Larry bell in the southbound lane cruising in the purple people eater. We're in the red 01 viper RT/10. |
| CJ | Pat, we were out on Woodward Tuesday night. Only saw one Prowler that was parked. It was a Woodward with Lambo doors. Way too many cars out for Tuesday night!! lol! |
| 1HOTCAT | I was out there last night and ran into Pat in her red Prowler. Yes we are offering parking on 12 Mile just west of Woodward if you need a place to park and eat. Just look for my Prowlers or upside down van. I will be doing a lap in the van, depending if the cops stop me and make me get it off the road. Bail money might be needed, keep your phones on as I may only get one call. A $10 donation for parking is all we ask. We are raising money for the American Legion there. |
| tangled up in BLUE | ...we have been on Woodward Wed and Thurs nites, packed, lots of cars, unusual amount of Vettes, Cobras, Exotics, Muscle Cars etc.....good times |
| koolkty | Jerry, thanks for the info. Hope to see you there Saturday. |
| koolkty | Came by around 5:30 today, saw several cars on the northwest corner of 12 mile and Woodward, but didn't see any prowlers there. |
| DublinOH | Amanda and I swung by Jerry's lot this afternoon and spent a few minutes with both Jerry and Bob Bobbis. Good to see old friends. Ran into a couple of Canadian prowler owners from Windsor who were not on POa. Has an orange car with a supercharger. Saw a purple, yellow, and a black during our cruising today. Headed back to the burg tomorrow morning. |
| 1HOTCAT | The lot was about 100 yards west of Woodward, either the van or Prowler would of been parked, as I take people out for rides throughout the day. yes it was nice to see, Steve, Amanda,and Bob that day. |
