Default Detroiters...

Woodward Ave was great tonight... not sure what the deal was with the car show at the Shell station near 13 mile... saw way too many WRX's cruising, but lots of other nice cars.

Also watched Transformers tonight in Birmingham. Kickass movie for sure. The new Camaro looks gorgeous. Not sure how many people in the theater realized the entire battle scene at the end was filmed downtown Detroit, you can see the Book Cadillac hotel in some of the scenes and the other scenes were filmed at the old abandoned train station. Way to go Detroit!!!

Not a car show, just a local hang out spot.

There is a group of people that usually hang out at Auto Europe, but haven't recently because of construction, I think. Usually there are some people in the PotBelly's parking lot. Its kinda been a clusterfuck because of the construction and cops...
