Cruise Countdown With The Vinsetta Garage
A new video series debuts on FYI

As a newbie to both the auto industry and to Detroit, I am learning about a lot of things unique to the industry and the area. One of the events I'm now looking most forward to is the Woodward Dream Cruise, a celebration of car culture and classic vehicles that features more than 40,000 muscle cars and attracts more than 1,000,000 visitors each year.
Obviously, not everyone who loves old muscle cars can get to Detroit to attend the cruise. So we're doing our best to try and take the cruise out to you. We're producing a four-part video series for the web, in partnership with the Vinsetta Garage, one of the oldest and longest standing vehicle repair shops in the country, focusing on cruising culture, the Dream Cruise, and the cars that make the cruise so special.
The first episode just went up on Friday over on YouTube, is the featured video on Crackle's "Wheels and Wings" channel, and is up on a number of other video sites.
Check out the cars that hold a special place in American culture, and the people who work on them to help their owners restore them to their past glory. And keep your eyes open for the next three videos in the series, all leading up to the 2007 Woodward Dream Cruise on Aug. 18.

This year will be my 4th Woodward Dream Cruise. We will be coming in from Wilmington, Delaware to take part. Each year the cruise gets bigger & better. It is nice to see the GM Heritage Collection cars brought out for the public. It is the largest 1 day auto event in the world and I can see why. Trying to explain this to the people back home is not possible. You have to see it and take part in the party. Police come from all over to take part just to see it. From stock to the bizarre, the cars all come out. It is unfortunate that it creates havok for the residents, but it is one day out of the year. Ask anyone that lives near a race track or fairgrounds & they have the same issues. Come out, enjoy the day & have fun. Thats what it is all about.
