Absolutely dude...I live 0.7 miles down a street that ends on Woodward...I took about 250 pics, so there'll be a pretty large post...don't get too excited, most of the pics I took were of American Muscle...but there were some exotics too...Gallardo, Murcielago, 360 spider...etc...etc...and a few I think were even more exciting

If we take into consideration the Division of Thirds (familiar to any good photographer) you were aiming either for the guy that's masturbating while holding his beer, or the fat girl in the pink T-shirt.

Here are a few pics of the bunch...I'll probably just post an Imagestation album for you guys instead of uploading the rest separately.
Nice Maserati Ghibli
Austin Healey with a monster 351
Sign on a '50s show car
More Healeys anyone?
Best siting of the day, $135k usd Carbon Fiber GT40 Replica with a 392cid V8 pushing more than 500bhp and 500lb-ft...it weighs 2000lbs and has a 6-speed ZF-box:
That's me behind the wheel...
Nice engine...but...um...so's the view on top
Other sitings on the day a whole pile of Panteras, Yellow Gallardo, Dark Blue metallic Murcielago with E-gear, Silver 360 spider and Yellow 360 spider, Saleen S7, Aston Martin Vanquish with Handling Pack, Aston Martin DB9, several GT40s and a few Ford GTs as well.
P.S. TT, I'm sorry, I know the pics are kind of big, but at the moment I'm on the shitty family computer at home and couldn't resize them without resorting to Microsoft Paint at which point the images got terribly pixellated....feel free to do whatever you deem necessary to them

It's hard to call it a show really...it's a 17 mile stretch of boulevard that gets packed with thousands of classics and exotic cars and obviously quite a few people too (1.5 million like nfthinity said)...people just come from all over and cruise up and down the street...though it's hard to call it "Cruising" when you end up in stop-and-go traffic for the entire time lol.

Yeah...later at night it's been like that all summer...especially the last week...you just go out and drive around between 10 and 1 in the morning and there are people patching out and racing all over the place...and if you end up in Downtown B-ham near the Paladium, there are a lot of uber-exotics that show up...I've seen a few Phantoms, a Testarossa or two, 550/575s, Modenas, 355s and a couple of Lambos as well as the requisite Porsches (911TTs are pretty mundane around here believe it or not)
