For any of you true classic car/hotrod lovers I recommend taking the pilgrimage to Detroit for the "Dream Cruise". I am a Mopar and Jeep lover to the core, but I can appreciate so many other cars I have no or little interest in.
I lived in Detroit for a few years, I remember the first year I went to the dream cruise and saw two of my neighbors who I only knew well enough to waive at. I worked so many hours when I was there I didn't pay attention to much other than work. Well the two gentlemen & I were bs'ing while they showed me the cars they built for themselves when they worked on the assembly line, 70 hemicuda 4'spd, and a 440 6pack roadrunner both kept in their garages since a few years after being new, tons of people out their have a similar car story. It is the biggest car show and cruise in the world. The quality of cars and stories can't be compared. You meet so many people who do ALL of their own work instead of writing a check to get an end result. I don't recommend Detroit for much even though much of the area is more effluent than people realize, but I have to recommend the "Dream Cruise".
