FYI - the $30 covers your $20 parking fee plus $10 donation to the GLZC. Since we don't charge a membership fee, there are only a few opportunities other than straight donations we're able to raise money for the club.

Welcome Joe Gall and his Green 240Z. Only 6 spots remaining.

Just joined the group and would like to join you at the Dream Cruise that day. Hope to see you all there. I drive a 1972 Datsun 240z

I'm in for the Dream Cruise Lot. Saturday 8/17/13. Weather permitting. If it is raining all day I'm out. I can bring some chips & dips. Craig S. 2013 - 370Z w/sport.

Thanks,
Craig CRS370Z

Hey guys new here also! Would like to reserve a slot myself for the dream cruise. As long as its not pouring. 1990 pearl white 300zx TT.
Thanks - Rob

Welcome Rob. Glad to have you. We are doing a pot-luck thing. What would you like to bring to share?

Well considering I moved back in with my mom for now I'm sure she will hook us up! Is there a grill there or...?

Are we trying to do that whole grill thing or would it be less of a hassle to just all walk down to a food vendor? I can still bring snacks and cookies and stuff for munchoz/pop.

I'm bringing everybody that shows with a Z a discount card for window tint at my work Auto Tint City in Dearborn too. Good for tint, HID's/lighting alarms whatever

**UPDATE**

Coney dogs will be served by the lot hosts from 2pm-6pm!!!! No grill needed!

Still looking for a pop up canopy tent if anyone has one? Also we'll need beverages (bottled water and cans of pop are probably best rather than 2 liter bottles). I'll bring the cooler and ice.

I'll track my tent down for 'ya. I loaned it out a while ago and forgot to get it back.

Just a reminder, 3 spots left for this Saturday, It's expected to be a fantastic event!

Reply with your name, car year/model, and what dish you'd like to pass.

I've got my tent if you want to borrow it! It fits in the passenger seat of a Z easily.

I've got to pick that up.. probably run out to the trailer tomorrow afternoon to get the cot for my company. Gimme a buzz when you want to come grab it.

Cookies, pop, and crockpot BBQ meatballs.
-Rob

No one else is bringing any other hot food? My girl offered to make meatballs for us which is sweet. Really excited to meet everyone and rep the Z's!

Thanks Rob. Trevor is going to bring pop. Could you bring water?

Robert Matthews is coming up from North Carolina with his 1973 240Z. He's going to bring plates, forks and napkins.

Yeah I'll bring a case of wawa. What time are you guys heading down there? I know it's PACKED OUT. Hope no one overheats

I won't be driving the Z down (because it's still in pieces... shocker I know) but I'm going to stop on by later in the day. Should be awesome to see some Japanese metal out there. Rode the ped from Ferndale all the way up to scope out the spot and didn't see a single Z all night. I was sad but also happy to know there won't be many Z32s running around next year when I get mine going. Hope to see you CloudZX and meed another Z32 guy.

Sorry getting back so late, i was having clutch issues and thought i may not be ready. Looking good so far. I'll bring lots of cokes and various snacks. Let me know if you want something specific, anything.

Aaron, good to hear from you. Take a look at the thread starter to see what everyone else is bringing. I think we have beverages covered.

Hi guys! Although I'm not going to be parking with you, I will be popping over around noon to drop off some goodie bags courtesy of my dealership group (Suburban Imports of Troy), which will include some discount coupons for parts/service and some nick-nacks as well. I look forward to meeting with y'all who are attending!

I'll have plenty to go around if anyone has friends/family that would like a grab bag as well!!!!

Happy Cruisin'!!!!!

Scott

Thanks Scott! There will be tons of folks in the area where we are parking. We're only using a small portion of the lot. Looking forward to meeting you.

I'll be on the lookout for the Club- I'll be in the Silverstone Roadster.... Unfortunately, the Beast will not be making it's debut until next year

getting excited!! Ari can you please bring stickers ect. with you tomorrow?

Unfortunately, I am not the keeper of the stickers and the guy who has them isn't coming. Sorry, forgot to coordinate that. We'll have them at our next event, which is very soon.

Sorry guys. I'm the guy who has the stickers.. if you want, I can mail them out if you are not local or find it difficult to get to the monthly meets. We have Red or White window stickers.

I am also going to miss the next meet at the end of this month due to a scheduling conflict. So, if needed, I can meet up with someone to hand these off for that meet.

We had a fantastic day yesterday at the Dream Cruise. Perfect Weather and lots of Z cars were there.

Special thanks Scott Brown, Business Manager at Suburban Nissan Troy, for dropping off goodie bags with coupons for everyone and making a donation to the club. We appreciate your support!

Thanks to Dave and his wife who came in from the thumb area in his silver and blue 1982 280ZX. Rob and his girlfriend brought some fantastic meatballs and deserts in his white 1991 300ZX. New member Aaron for unveiling his orange 1972 240z with JDM mirrors on the fenders. Joe with his "older" green 1970 240z. Robert who drove in from Kentucky with his yellow 1973 240Z. I brought the 1978 280Z Black Pearl. Trevor with his silver 2003 350Z kept us hyrdrated with pop and arnold palmers (nice choice!) and Chris had his red 2013 370Z looking very clean!

Dave B., service tech at Lafontaine stopped by to say hello in his modified 280Z. Karl also stopped by at the end of the day in his orange 350Z.

Another special thanks to Lee for letting us borrow his tent.

If you have pictures to share, please post them here or to our facebook page.

Z'ya Soon
Ari

Looks like an awesome turnout!

It was great meeting you guys (Ari, Aaron and Trevor)! I'm sorry I was unable to make it back up in the afternoon (Sangria + Sunshine = trouble), but I'll be sure to try and make the meeting next week at JD's!

Also, I noticed the # on my business cards is my OLD #, my correct direct # is 248.519.9547 or reach me on my cell 248.207.1530 if anyone needs to set up anything regarding the coupons i handed out!

Hopefully everyone had a great cruise!

Scott

My friend and I drove by but it was considerably later than I expected and everyone looked to be out cruising. Hope to see you guys again sometime soon. Very awesome group by the looks of it.

If anyone is still following this thread, we have a new event thread open for the 2014 Dream Cruise. Check it out and RSVP if you'd like to reserve a spot. Same location, same price. This will be the last year for this location.
