It's almost time for the big car cruise and the largest car event period. You could join the one million people that show up for this event, with or without a cruiser. Thousands and thousands of cars cruise 16 miles in the 2 curb lanes of Woodward Ave. The official date is August 17, 2013. Saturday, 9am to 9pm. But the action starts days earlier. Vendor madness and live bands add to the festivities.

The I-X Piston Power Show was slated for October 5-7 this year and will now be cancelled to make way for the new event tentatively scheduled for March 15-17, 2013.
