A friend of mone brought to my attention yesterday that this coming saturday in lansing they have a thing called "cruise the gut" its a mini metro cruise and is held in downtown lansing. cars park along the road and cruise around. This has been going on since the 70's he tells me and its pretty big. i think i'll be going and was wondering if anyone else is interested in going with It will be nice to see some diffrent cars than we normally see at gemmens! i'll get times from him and update later.

I've been wanting to do that but check and make sure that late model cars are welcome to cruise. I looked last year and it seems like it was for muscle cars etc.

Uh huh, and if you read my post all it said I didnt see any "in the photos".
So while it may be open to all cars maybe there are not a lot of late models there.

OK one car but still not enough to be feeling its much of a Late model event. Maybe cool for those who want to go look at the classics.

Thats Late for those of us who get up at 3:30 during the week
Kool has a show coming up too -I think its an all Chevy Show but prolly still an early morning event. The again the Late Night events such as Dawgs are more than likely past many of us old timers bed time
One of my friends at work is bringing in a bunch of flyers for events. he seems to find things I never hear about.
