Gallery: Woodward Dream Cruise Part 1

August 22, 2007 by Gary Grant 2 Comments

The first images from the 2007 Woodward Dream Cruise have begun to trickle into The Garage. We’re a few days behind some of the other blogs, but there are a ton of images in this first submission alone. There are over 500 photos to sort though, so I’ll be a busy boy tonight. For now, let’s start things off with the beginning of the trip.

James and Rob Tong took their blue Mustang Cobra, along with other members of a couple of local Mustang clubs down for their annual trip to Woodward. The first stops were at Saleen and Roush, where they saw some pretty cool stuff.

More images from the Cruise later today.

Looking back: A year ago in The Garage

Another summer has come and almost gone, so I thought it might be fun to have a look back and see what we were talking about last summer.

Just like this summer, there were car shows. The big one of course was our visit to Autofest at GM Canada headquarters in Oshawa.

Paul Tracy was doing his best Francophone wrestler impression.

Jim Toumaris visited the Woodward Ave Dream Cruise and hooked us up with some great pictures.

Speaking of GM, it was announced that the new Camaro is going to be built in Oshawa.

Those racer types were pretty erratic last August, with Jacques Villeneuve spouting off again and the Unser ~~boys~~ Dads behaving like rednecks.

For 2007, Woodward was last weekend and Autofest is coming up and hopefully we’ll have some images from both.

Retired Teacher Trying to Squash Woodward Dream Cruise

April 18, 2007 by Gary Grant 3 Comments

That’s right, some wigged out greenie retired teacher with nothing better to do with her life has decided to crusade against one of America’s most loved events. The Woodward Dream Cruise. It’s not that she minds the fun, but she’s supporting the noble Step It Up campaign to reduce greenhouse emissions. I’ve got a better idea. Why not protest the Superbowl. It’s just as American as Woodward Avenue and I’m pretty sure all those rednecks in one place, eating tailgate food and swilling Milwaukee’s Best are creating some excessive Greenhouse Gas. Better yet, one of the leading contributors of methane to our ozone is cows. That’s right, cows! Why not force cattle farmers to put vapour recovery devices on each and every bovine in the herd!

Long live Cruising!

Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise Pics

The Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise is one of the longest standing cruise events around. It is the home of street racing, as we used to know it. Heck, the muscle car wars of the Sixties were born and bred on Woodward. Once a year this stretch of pavement is visited by cruisers and spectators from around the world.

Real life friend of The Garage Jim Toumaris visited the cruise last weekend and snapped a TON of pics for us. Jim is a Nissan tech with a penchant for old American muscle who has decided that he should take a car down for next year’s cruise. Will it be the Chevelle of the 66 Mustang? Who knows, but let’s hope next year’s pics are as great as these.

A bunch more pics after the break
