    Woodward Dream Cruise 2016 - Saturday, August 20, 2016

    Woodward Dream Cruise 2016 - Saturday, August 20, 2016 (the 22nd Anniversary of the Dream Cruise)

    This year's Woodward Dream Cruise is only two weeks away. (weren't we just at DCS 2016 a few weeks ago?)

    The World's Largest Car Show and Car Cruise needs your DeLoreans. There is no better destination to pilot
    our DeLoreans, driving past crowds of people who have such a great admiration of John Z. DeLorean and who
    enjoy seeing our DeLoreans, cruising up and down Woodward Ave. This is a multi-club DeLorean event, with
    DeLoreans from all over the Midwest and Canada. With over 50,000 vehicles attending, driving or parking
    next to Woodward Ave, and over a Million spectators, this Cruise is THE EVENT for all you "Gear Heads".

    As with years past, we will have a few DMC POGs join us at the cruise on Saturday. This year we have no car
    display (formally), but we do plan to be cruising Woodward, and making a few stops as a group along the way.

    Check out the official Woodward Cruise website for more info: http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com

    There is "cruising" all week, but our official DeLorean cruising is usually limited to Friday and Saturday.

    See you in a couple of weeks.


    Note: Weather permitting, I plan to bring one of my Custom DeLoreans to Woodward, for it's first time there.

    So no Benz Dealership this year?

    I will be on Woodward, just wondering where everybody will be. PM me on my signature and I will get it quicker.

    Bloomfield Hills Township runs the Charity Car Show Display at the MB Dealership during each year's Woodward Dream Cruise.
    Tony Swann and I have "taken turns" pre-registering a block of spaces the past 5 years, with others registering directly online.

    Responsibilities change almost every year, so we had to remind them of our DMC Clubs' interest by May or June (each Spring).
    This year, Tony and I were a little busy with DCS 2016, so we had hoped someone in MI would take care of this event.

    In any case, you can try to contact the committee or submit your own registration form this week, to keep up the MB tradition.

    Boy they have increased the registration. Used to be $20... I will call them later today. I will also post the link over on DCO side.

    There are "Off-Woodward" parking spaces that are less, but I have not seen many "On Woodward" parking spaces for under $50 per space for over a decade now,
    at least not any "On Woodward" parking spaces that are even close to "Prime Locations" or in many of the better neighborhoods along Woodward's "Main Drag".

    Woodward Prime Location parking spaces are often several hundreds of dollars and most of them can only be reserved in "groups" of spaces, in advance.
    Most die-hard Woodward folks consider the Prime Locations between Mile 11 (or just North of the Zoo) at least through Mile 14 (or Maple in Birmingham).

    Keep in mind the MB Dealership is in a very nice area and all the money they collect goes to the Fireman's Fund Charity, so it really is a Win-Win.
    The only minor draw-back to this location is that they do not allow any Friday afternoon or evening parking, just Saturday from about 8am - 6pm.

    Hmmmm. I usually am down in Ferndale south of I 696, just on the other side of the bridge, and we have many people there/events. Last year I parked on Woodward for Free. Right by the curb. I tried to make it north up by the MB dealership, traffic was too jacked.
