Just wondering if anybody knows what days are good for what spots. I know down on US41 at Blue Top there were some cars there last year and in Crown Point they have a car show on Thursdays at the town square or at the local Stracks grocery store on Broadway and out in Valparaiso on Friday they have a big car show somewhere, I think by the Harley shop. And Simon Sez in Merrillville. I can't seem to find anything online. Weather's not awesome yet but it will be soon enough and I've been seein some nice cars out again.

Events in Michigan and Illinois would be worth the drive too

Valpo show seems to be the biggest crowd around, I'll have to check out Crown Point this year too.

I've heard it's pretty big and every Friday I think. I'm not sure when it starts. I heard it's right on 30 by the Harley Davidson dealership and route 2

Sweet. I updated the list above.

Nice. I love black TAs. I'll definitely check that cruise out.

I know there's a big yearly cruise in Detroit in August I was reading about. It's far but sounds like it's worth it.

I've heard of the Detroit cruise. Alot of heavy hitters there. Can't wait for summer to hit. Shoot me a message or add as a friend if you ever need someone to cruise or meet up with. I try to get out when I can, but the whole work thing gets in the way

Yeah I hear you on the work stuff too. That's why a Saturday cruise would be nice for me.

Yeah I'll definitely hit you up. Still piecing the car back together but hopefully in the next couple months.

This whole weekend was mint. Got out for a quick rip. Definite T-top weather.

the cruise night in valpo doesn't allow cars to start parking til after five cause of the bussiness in the area. It's a nice shop as well with food and bands.

It's up by he Harley Davidson dealership ok 30 right? Or is it downtown Valpo? I know there's usually lots of nice cars downtown Friday and Saturday nights.

Did It start yet?
