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

Roger you've set up BIG meets in the past. Don't be so down on yourself!

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.

Crossfire Enthusiast Group?

I keed, I keed.

You know what I'm Done with your crybaby BS.

You know why no one went? Becuase we had other [censored] to do. WHo the [censored] cares about the downriver cruise. jesus [censored] christ!!!!! WHy don't you meet up with your Crossfire croup somewhere? Ohh becuase they have saturday kniting classes!?! Coming on here and complaining just makes us all wanna go to a meet with you even less than we did before!


[censored] get over it. Stop being a [censored] weirdo!

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

It was my birthday not a fan of sitting out looking at cars on my birthday sorry roger

I went last year and didnt think it was that fantastic. I honestly dont like having meets at cruises. I dont know, set one up Roger and I'll come... probly be the only one there with a contour too
