Hi John, there are great car shows all over our area. Even during the week there are cruise ins every night. I go to one just about every Monday evening at Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights. That's not real close to you I know, but there is usually 200-250 cars there every night. And they give out some real nice plaques for awards, usually about 13-14 different categories. I would go tonight, but it looks like rain later. And on Tuesdays, I hear that there's one at Culver's restaurant in Lake Orion that usually has about 300 cars every night.
Go to this website..Funtimecruisers.com and go to the shows and events page (the tabs on the far left of the page) and there are shows and cruise ins listed there in our area for the entire season.
Also there is a great show coming up at the Packard Proving Grounds this coming weekend. It's called the Easy Rodders Car Show. I'm planning on going to that one, weather permitting of course. Let me know if you want to go and we can meet up there.
