Yep, I was there both Friday Night and most of Saturday at the "Phoenix
Center" in Pontiac. Drove my bronze over pink 1957 Chrysler Saratoga
4dr. I was actually rear-ended by some dip**** driving an old
Cherokee. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to take the cell phone out
of her hand and throw it into the crowd!
I almost had a heart attack when i got out of my car and saw her grille all
smashed, but it turned out to be old damage. The Mighty Chrysler only
suffered a slightly displaced bumper guard.
I was in the curb lane in an area plainly marked "Cruisers Only", but that
didn't deter her. The problem that I am seeing is that the wheat isn't
firmly enough separated from the chaff and most of the cruise seemed to be a
gigantic traffic jam, except in the designated parking areas.
The happiest (And smartest) people I saw were the ones sitting under tents
on the West side of Woodward avenue in the les-congested areas between the focal
points af attention. They had an all-day parade!
We learn every year... perhaps it will be better next time!
