    Time for Walmart Parking lot Tour

    This GM crap is getting to me, who really cares.
    I want to see my friends, drive the Route, and see my friends.
    I dont need give aways and dont need to set anywhere but in my car and in the Motel Parking Lot.
    I can fix my car without GM help, my SB doesn't even have a GM part in it.
    I need a Studebaker
    Bring it On

    Some official word would be nice instead of making us hang on rumors. Come on DF how about it?

        I was thinking (yeah we all know how dangerous that can be) that "other" activities that we could do would be to have a scavenger hunt or poker run during the day between event cities. That would give us something to do on the shorter days and would give the sponsors opportunities to give away some prizes without having to hang out at the stage. After all, if I am going to a car show, I tend to like to hang out at the cars to look for nice pieces or talk to deviates that like my ride.

        I have been gone for a few days so I am not on top of all the rumors but I do surely hope that they don't change the Warren stop at this late date. It doesn't seem like it would be that expensive to open the parking lot for the stop. Perhaps they (GM) could cancel any of the actual facility tours and other activities associated with the visit there but allow us to use their parking lot to gather. Maybe we could make a charitable donation to have some "out of work" automotive employees come in and clean the grounds after we leave. That would help the community and defer some "unnecessary" expenses for GM.

        Most of you guys know I am not a huge GM fan but given the current state of affairs I am truly grateful that we can do the PowerTour this year so I would hate for us to bitch too much about this change if in fact it happens.

          fwiw......if you get a chance, check out the HR Power Tour boards, particularly under PT stops so far.....a poster who works at the Corvette plant, who has access to another GM website, indicates that the Warren stop is being moved, the HR folks are looking for another venue....rexx

              yeah, and so did our crew....so, if they move the Warren venue, and depending on how far away they move it, it's going to confuse some folks....if they do move the venue, I hope they get the info out sooner rather than later.....rexx

                Someone with authority needs to post something. It is three weeks before the tour. Not a good time to be throwing everything up in the air. Either give us a yes this is true or no it is not. Even if they do not know the new venue yet. If this is true I bet there will be some very upset hotel owners.

                    Mr. Obama drives a Saab and as the new majority owner of GM doesn't want to spend any money on domestic riffraff. :o

                    Now, how is that for a RUMOR?

                      We are the ones that provide the SHOW, they're the ones that make the $$$ OFF US, run the $$$ and you will see the $$ that Family Events and HR are pulling out of this.

                      I will almost promise that IF they move the Venue, I will go to the Motel and see you all there.

                      Not to disrespect anyone, but Detroit isn't any great place for me, #1 son lived there and we visited more than a few times, FORD MUSEUM and RED WINGS (i love the RED Wings) thats enough of Detroit for me. and and and the roads Suck.

                        The main reason I wanted to go this year is because of the GM Tech Center in Detroit and to see a friend there also. I guess I'll spend the day with that friend. The Power Tour has gotten big enough that we are a byproduct of the tour, not the reason they have a tour. Tell us what's going on? Are you kidding? :o

                            I agree with Bob Booby

                            Any idea where we can get a line on a used timeclock?
                            That way we wouldn't have to stop by any of the venues in the evenings to get our cards punched. Just in the mornings for the driver's meetings.
