It's so crowded.  Any spot you can find is a good spot.  If you want to cruise, it might already be too late.  I been several times.  Ususally with folding chair and cooler.  You can find a patch of grass and set up camp.  I would try between 10 and 12 Mile near a stop light.  I wanted to show the wife and we went 6PM Saturday a couple of years ago.  We got off I696 OK...I was supprised, I thought that the Woodward exit would be backed up out onto 696.  After an 1-1/2 hours, we had not crossed 11 Mile.  Everybody was having a good time.  Everyone cooperated as we crossed all the lanes and did a flip flop to get on south bound Woodward and back to 696.  Glad we went.  Dream Cruise has become a week long event.  If you want to drive and hang out on Woodward, midweek is a better choice.  But Saturday is really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just moved to Az. from Mi. this spring so this is the first Woodward cruise Ive missed in awhile. If you want a place to park head up Main street in R.O. right at I696 & turn down one of the side streets. Always seems to have a place to park & your only a couple blocks from Woodward. Washington is another good street also. My sister lives right there so I always had a place to park & hang out.

lowrider...where in az.? My wife and I are headed to Phoenix the first week in Sept. In fact, I had her change her days off so we could be in Phoenix on Saturday night for the Pavilion Cruise that I missed in April. No shows that week that I can find...if you know of something let me know.
Sorry about changing the subject guys.

9 Mile to Orchard Lake.  Saturday night is a parking lot everywhere.  It is still going this morning and it is stop and go (more stop than go!!).
