Yah I have caught part of the festival, nice town. Inlaws live about 1/2 mile South of the action in a private community.

If you haven't been in a car assembly plant it is a pretty amazing thing. I have heard the Rouge (assembly plant) Tour at Henry Ford Museum is a good tour.

I second that. You'll like that museum, I wish I could see it again.

I havent been there since 1996, when a bunch of us internet Camaro fans all got together from around Michigan for a January get-together. I think Jason D. went to that one, actually. Ten or twelve of us, many of which then ended up at the first Milan event later that year. I drove my Trans Am that January, and took a 35mm picture of the odometer as it rolled over 100,000 miles on I-96, while I had the speedo deeply buried to celebrate the occasion.

Let's all road-trip and meet there some day. Howaboutit?
