Damn it, I can't make the downriver cruize this year! I have my Godchilds 1st birthday and afterwards I'm going to see Los Lonely Boys/Santana at Pine Knob.
One of you Novi/Livonia guys need to set this "Lucky" meet up, just make sure theres good directions and try for a Sunday, its easier for most people to make it out  
Damn Rog I wanted to see the new ride.
I live in Detroit, I couldn't give a **** how good my car is in the "twisties."

It's not that far really, we've been doing it the last 2-3 years, always a good turnout and a good time. TONS of cars to look at, and mullets too.
Where else are u going to see this?
Love that picture! Wonder who took it!?
When is the downriver cruise again?!

Just a toss up, how about AA? Though, I'm not even living there, so I'm partial to Novi...Though AA would be a nice time. As long as it's on a Saturday and not Sunday, I should be good  .

IS there a problem you would like to talk about ancient?! We all have probelms with controling or fluids, especially alchol. Mostly, The idea is for most of us to get our drink ON.. not off! 
just messin. Ann Arbor is kinda "gheto" in my opinion. Too far south for many of the Livonia, Novi, E.Lannising guys.

Ann Arbor "ghetto"? WTF are you on? It's the only place in Detroit with some semblance of culture! All the same - the roads in AA suck worse than any roads in Detroit. Getlucky and I were pissing blood after cruiing through there last Saturday!

They are really bad. Not to mention some of the old lady drivers that cut us off! 
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

No doubt, half the time you're swerving around old ladies the other half of the time you're testing your brakes everytime a stupid student decides to cross the street w/on-coming traffic.
How is AA ghetto? It's far from ghetto, hell it's down right posh and ridiculously expensive, if anything.
Roads worse than Detroit? I dunno about that Stazi. I don't think anything can compare to good ol' Grand Blvd. Where exactly were you guys? I'll admit M14/US-23 suck arse, but the D is by far worse.
AA has a plethora of restaurants, parking would be a pain though. Most likely would have to park in a parking structure or perhaps up on Hill campus. Again, depends on where people are coming from. AA is quite off from where most of us live. I'm still down w/Novi or Royal Oak.

Case in point: Geddes road is mimmicked at the DCX Proving Grounds (to the [mm])in Chelsea because it is the worst strip of road in metro Detroit. Engineers found it produced NVH and chassis twist in test cars that had NEVER been seen elsewhere before!  I've been to a lot of proving grounds and this shocked me - then I drove on Geddes to see for myself...... Stadium/Washtenaw sucks bad too.  MX - Royal has ZERO culture it's just a mish-mash of bars. All the cool older buldings are gone. If you want to see old-wolrd culture and architecture drive through Dexter or go out to the west-side and visit Grand Haven.

Stazi, they have stadium ripped up through novemberish. Should be brand spankin new when they get done . Wasthenaw is another story. Id be down for a meet in the ann arbor / depot ypsi / dexter pickney area. But it seems a bit far for most people.
