IF................If I say, I went, I would not be in a Hummer. Sorry gang, not that kind of event. Might as well load up the mini van with Grandma and the Dog. 
It is way overcrowded, no place to park close by, and it is supposed to be for classic and custom cars of special (one of a kind) interest. My beef is that there are way too many people driving whatever car they have, cool or not, just to be there and see what they want to see. Result = From the south end going north, 3-4 lanes of traffic moves at less than 2mph.  add in 85+ degrees, humidity and overheating junk, as well as the SMART buses trying to run their regular route.......ooh what fun.
If you went, and parked off site, then walked to the cruise to spectate, that would be cool. There are lots of radio station tents, food, auto related and garb vendors etc. to check out.

Sounds like it could be fun but too far away. I love cars but not crowds.

Patrick said the same things that you did Doc. It doesn't sound as fun as it should be. I'd like to go at least once in my life though. Maybe not this year  We'll see.

If nobody else thinks this is worth going to, I'm going to delete the event thread. Let me know.

whoa... wait a second.... too crowded to go, no place to park???? if you have gone, and spent some time in the Birmingham area, you would have likely seen our group of Hummers, mainly H1s / Humvees, parked Baker furniture for the last 6-8 years....
If you like cars, this is a GREAT event and fully sponsored by the big 3.... it brings out all sorts of very neat rides, new and old... I run the event for the dreamcruise.... if you wanted to go just e-mail me phazer42@comcast.net and I will keep you in the loop.... obviously, the space is limited... so... first come first serve... and I always give repeat visitors first dibs on spots....

The dream cruise this year is going to be much different for Hummer owners then previous years. The parking lot that we park at, was given to a GTO group after they eluded that we would get the lot again. So, after 8 years our parking at Baker Furniature has ended. If you are still interested, there are spots (about 20 of them) right out front of Baker which are public and if you are willing to arrive early, we could park there. e-mail me if you are interested in doing this so I know how many will show up.

Too many tweed jackets and argyle sweaters in Birmingham.

I will be there.
Btw, as for the original post stating 40,000+ people, it''s actually over 1,000,000 people who attends the dream cruise. Last year it was something around 1.1 million people. It''s a LOT of people.
I will be there so keep an eye out for "SupaF1y" Black Tactical H3. Also, I will be at 26622 Woodward in Royal Oak (company party)
