speaking from my own experience (i.e. the EOSB last year) i pm'ed every EGL ceg'er i could find about that event, and between making sure we had food and fun planned, i think it worked well. it takes a lot of work to get more than five or so of us together at a time.
Originally posted by Klasse Act: "Pick the wrong events", are you serious? IMO the Downriver Cruize is WAAAAY better than the WDC because the traffic flows, the people are nicer and the cops aren't jerks, what else do you need?
bah... come to the north end of the WDC. all the same cars, plus flowing traffic and lax police. hell, the cops will even help put out the burning piles of rubber in the street!

I am game. I'm just very very busy now!! I have a full time job, a class, and an internship. Plus I still have my car to get straightened out. Had I not JUST been hired...I would've attempted to take the time off.
I wasn't trying to be a d!ck. I love that cruise, but if you g o back to your very first post you even stated: " I haven't heard a lot of you guys talking about this cruise..."
Stop giving us the rolleyes when you really aren't pushing the meet as much as you could. Advertise!

Dave, thats where I used to set up our meeting spot, but everyone would say "nothings out there, you need to go to 13 and Woodward!"
Traffic starts backing up on the SB around 11:30 a.m. , so we get to see everything right there. Last year ASC was in the M-B parking lot, so this year I'm looking to set up camp in the bank parking lot as we were good to go there last year, even though it rained!
Pete, I know you have a full plate, obviously and I wasn't calling you out in particular, but I did put up a post for the Downriver Cruize early enough and IIRC, even did an interest check The thing is with stuff like this is simple, I feel it all depends on who's setting the meet up. I just don't have the personality to pull people in, although I've tried in the past, so give me an "A" for effort and BTW, I don't mean to be so "pushy" about things, but I like when everyone gets together to BS and check out some rides

Seriously Roger I think you are being too hard on yourself. Maybe I don't really know the inner workings of the EGL CEG, but I don't know anyone who wouldn't go to a meet because you set it up. You are the E in CEG.
Honestly I think that it's mostly the location and timing. For one...I don't know any CEGers that currently live downriver besides myself.
And two, I think maybe we should meet up later in the day. Like if we all met up at around 4, nobody would have to get up early and be tired by mid afternoon. I wouldn't be worried about parking either. Yes the SuperK lot does fill up, but the meijer lot doesn't, nor does the Southgate Ford lot, and they are practically the same location. Most the fun starts in the evening anyways...spectators are drunk by then and drivers are more apt to do some crazy burnouts. Plus after the cruise all the 21+ could hit up a bar after if we went with the later meeting time.
I was thinking about all this yesterday and these are my thoughts. Take them for what they're worth.

Just like getting the guys together and hangin' out and checking out the cars, is there a problem with that This cruize is once a year, why wait for it to be cold and snowy out to have a meet where over 10 cars show up, I don't get it. Theres enough people here who've busted their ass' on their cars, why not show em' off, especially when people start asking about them and you tell what their all about it, its great! I'm not being a cry baby about this at all, I honest think people don't like me, maybe I'm guilty by association and if thats the case its getting worse in here
