Guess what time of the year it is! It's time to start planning your 2012 Car Show season! Back again for our 8th year in a row, the Michigan FBody Meet & Greet continues to get bigger and better!

Last year's show was a great success with over 400 FBodies at the show! Check out last year's photos here:

* NOTE: We were trying to build a tradition of having the Meet & Greet occur the first Saturday after Memorial Day. Unfortunately, a scheduling conflict with Bakers of Milford means we had to delay it one full week. This year's Meet & Greet is on June 9th.

What: 8th Annual Michigan FBody Meet & Greet Car Show
When: June 9th, 2012
Time: 8am to 4pm

We have a website devoted to our event information and registration too! You can find our website at:
Events - The Michigan FBody Association

Continuing with our tradition of having one of the best FBody events in the state of Michigan, our car show will continue to be free to enter. We do ask for those who come to the show and have a good time to drop a few bucks into the donation jar to show their support because putting the show together isn't free.

Register today at:
Events - The Michigan FBody Association

And after you're done registering, check out our Registration Map which shows the last person who registered from every zip code. Pretty cool way to see where people are coming from to come to the show!

So what are you waiting for? Register today!

Only March 5th and we already have 115 pre-registrations in! With all the 5th gens hitting the street, the renewed interest in Camaros (and FBodies in general, much love for our Pontiac brothers!) just means the shows will keep growing and growing.

It's a windy day here in the D and we're blown away by how fast June 9th is approaching! If you're planning on attending, please be sure to get your registrations in! This will greatly help stream line getting people checked in for the show.

I wanted to go, but this event landed on the same day as my sister-in-law's wedding AND a friend's 40th birthday party. :/

Goody bags were stuffed last night! Huge thank you to Becky and Joe from Rodgers Chevrolet for donating the goody bags for us to use. These are high quality bags that you can turn around and use to hold your detailing supplies in!



And a teaser of all the trophies for this year:


We have also adjusted the rules for trophies so that winners can only win ONE trophy. This should allow more people to win trophies.

If you haven't been paying attention to the weather -- they're predicting 85* and mostly sunny! Gorgeous weather for Saturday! Bring sunscreen!

*** CONSTRUCTION ALERT!!! ***

I-96 is under construction in the surrounding area, INCLUDING at the Milford Road Exit.

The poorly painted picture below is a representation of the entrance and exit points for people coming from the West / Grand Rapids area (IN BLUE) and for people coming from the East / Metro Detroit area (IN GREEN).

The two ramps in red are CLOSED. These two ramps are 1) West Bound Exit Ramp from I-96 to SOUTHBOUND MILFORD and 2) Southbound Milford Rd Entrance Ramp to Eastbound I-96. Ramp #1 does not affect any of us - we all will be going NORTH on Milford Rd. Ramp #2 affects Eastbound / Metro Detroit traffic. MDOT's detour is to go just past the entrance ramp you would normally use on the right and instead make a left turn from Milford Rd onto the entrance ramp which is normally meant for Northbound Milford Rd entrance to I-96 Eastbound.

IF YOU'RE COMING FROM THE WEST: Use exit 155 as normal. Turn left onto Milford Rd to go north. When heading home, turn right before you get to I-96 West.
IF YOU'RE COMING FROM THE EAST: Use exit 155B as normal. Turn right onto Milford Rd to go north. When heading home, your normal entrance ramp would be south of I96 on the right. This ramp is closed. Instead, JUST PAST the normal entrance ramp, you can turn left to get onto I-96 East.

Again - this is a poorly painted picture but it hopefully should get the point across.
