    At first I thought you were kidding then I saw you were not local and it is a real question. The Woodward Dream Cruise is this weekend. It is billed as the largest 1 day automotive event in the world. A million and a half people and over 40,000 cars. Here is the link, check it out http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/

    jm16, nope not kidding. Currently in Milwaukee, going to Port Huron to visit family this weekend. We don"t have too many car shows in Fairbanks/North Pole Alaska, and when we do have a car show...it's the same 20 cars. Thanks for the info.

    Acornridgeman, I thank you too for the info.

    Plenty too pick from.

    OMG, THAT WAS FANTASTIC. Saw 3 Mavericks, 1 green with black top, parked with no driver/owner around. And 2 butterscotch driving woodward. Had a great time, the weather was excellent too. Thank you for the info guys.

    I saw a few Mavericks, Shawn Simpsons (rode in it) , Dale Suich's 4 door, and Lee Richart's (he was going the other way) and a Black one (I've seen before) and a Red one with black stripes (never seen before) and this White one:

    Then, the super clean, Clipper Comet was there, selling books:

    I saw few mavericks, saw a really nice one not sure comet or mav but had alot of shiny stuff on the road, was parked bit far from road in middle of a park to make out. Drove by a red grabber with black stripes, talked to the owner while driving, member of mcci actually... saw a black one parked on the side of the road.

    Could I have been one of the butterscotch mavs?

    The butterscotch Mavs (or Comets) were probably the Richart cars.

    The Red Grabber (MCCI Member) is Scott Binkley's car I would imagine.
