Nice photos of a Great American Pastime.
Cruising the main drag has always been a Summertime fun here in SB. A while ago we had The Wheel and Waves Car Show. Our tiny main street was closed to all traffic and the day before was cruise day, when the participants went up and down the strip showing off . I admire anyone who has the patience and skill to do detail work of any kind. This Detroit journey looks like fun.
But, I think it's sort of sad to see more cars coming to Detroit than leaving Detroit.
So that's what Margaret has been up to. She always disappears this time of year.
Yes, it appears The Queen has gone on Sabbatical.
