Cruisetown Erie see you again next year!

Calling All Rodders,
Thank you for making Cruisetown Erie a success again this year!


  Because of your love for this event George Lyons went to bat for us and got this event continued.  And you have proved to him that his efforts were not in vane.   Again the street was lined with awesome cars from all over the Tri-State area.


We started parking on the streets around 5:15 and quickly the parking was filled in on State Street all the way down to the park and around the park and even further. 



With the weather creeping up to 93 degrees  the streets were filled with spectators and cars enjoying those last few car events that are scheduled in our area.   All of us knowing that summer is closing here and soon we will be in our garages working on these cars not enjoying the ride of a summer night.

 It always amazes me how many cars we have in our area and what a great group of people you all are. These events show us just how many people still keep this great hobby ( the true love of cars) alive.

Keep it up see you next year at the next Cruisetown Erie!  Good job Cruisers!

Dream Cruise 2011 Detroit Michigan

Calling All Rodders,

World's Most Popular Car Cruise and largest one-day automotive event. Annually the 3rd Saturday of August on Woodward Avenue just north of Detroit in Michigan. Rain or shine.

This year was no exception, the show was held and the weather held off for the first part of the day. Around 5pm they were hit with a down pour and the show was shut down for a little bit. As crews handled down lines and a couple of small fires in the area cause by high winds and lighting.

But that didn't dampen the spirits of those cruisers who came from miles in all directions to enjoy the show. This show stretches for miles up and down Woodward Ave. Each town along the way has there own event going on with entertainment. This year we went for two days and still didn't see even half of what is out there. It is well worth the drive to go, if you get a chance next year plan to attend.

Guinness World Records longest Jeep Parade, Butler PA

Calling All Rodders

Today's adventure took us to Butler, PA. Friends of ours own a 1959 Jeep Willys at 10 am this morning we left with them to go to Butler PA. There we found 1200 Jeeps of every Year, Make and Model making their way to the Butler Community College.

Why? You may ask...
Because the was a jeep parade going on there trying to become a Guinness World Records Longest Jeep Parade at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival!

Once there we were lined up according to decades, and registration began...at 1pm.
We unloaded the trailer dropped off the Jeep then ran our trailer to the other side of town and took a shuttle back up to the College to be part of the 6pm Parade. This process was slow and took most of the afternoon but we laughed and had fun along the way the town was filled with jeeps everywhere!

Promptly at 10 to 6 we lined up and began the 3 mile parade route thru down town Butler. Once we reach the downtown area we all were parked along the streets were 100's of spectators lined the streets to see the parade and enjoy the Jeep show.

1200 Jeeps registered for the show, they figure the had at least 1500 Jeeps come thru town I believe the event was a success. It was awesome to see that many Jeeps in on place the were from 1938 to 2012.

We had a great time and want to thank our friends Pat & Beth for inviting us along!
