Ah yes, the Woodward Dream Cruise. Technically it does not go down until tomorrow, but the word on the street is that there has already been an epic level of cruising all week. Saturday will mark the biggest single day automotive event in the world. More than 40,000 cars are expected.

We’ve armed a small but elite group of Michiganders with BangShift.com shirts and stickers to spread the love to as much of the insanely huge show as they can. We’re kind of dying not being there ourselves, but we know the boys will do us proud.

On a side note, the New York Times has sent a reporter to cover the event, and we know what you are thinking, and you’re wrong. This guy is legit, cruising his own ’55 Chevy convertible out to the show with his family in tow. We thought he was a Birkenstock-wearing weenie, but it turns out he’s a gearhead. You can read about his trip here.

If we were there, we’d belly up to the nicest street corner we could find with an industrial sized cooler of adult beverages and some sun screen. We’d be sporting our beer helmet. Like you didn’t already think that.
