I'm from Granger, I don't really post here a whole lot though. If you see a 89 Turbo Trans Am around it's probably me (since all the other ones I've heard about I have yet to see them drive them). There's a lot of cruises in the area, here's a list http://www.michianacruisers.com/events.php

I normally go, but this year I'm going to the Indy 500 for the weekend. The Lane car show is definitely worth it, there's a lot of nice cars and it's free. You normally get a free shirt and a dvd or poster and then I normally end up winning something in the raffle because they give away like 300 things in it.

There's a new cruise-in at Beef O'Bradys on 23 by Bittersweet in Granger on Mondays. I'm going to go out there for a little while tonight and see what it's like. The cruise-in they had at Pizza King on Saturdays really has died out. I went out to Bonnie Doons last night and there was probably about 40 cars through the course of the night (it almost just gets limited by the parking room).

I am in south bend for another couple of weeks.

The Lane show is sweet. I won't go because I am hitting up Mayday fest in Indy.

I am trying to hit Osceola this Friday night before I head out though.

You guys want to take a cruise this Thursday? Maybe 2-3 hours. Drive to place, get a drink, then drive back?
