I am also from Michigan, put my on your mailing list but my vote would be for Kalamazoo also, I am only about 30 minutes away. But I have traveled further just to go to Cabela's so I would most likely be willing to travel if needed.

We used to hire a F40 for the day, $1400. but was cheaper than 4 flights. I got stopped bt the Canadian police 5 times in 1 journey cos they wanted to look at the car. I got out my British driving licence and they said hey guy thanks and go careful!! We did it faster than metro from detroit!! And back!!!!

Whoa boy, calling you an atypical Michigander isn't necessarily a bad thing. 😵

I will be in Toledo again for a few days anyway, maybe the weekend, It's about 50 miles south of Detroit, anyone close to Toledo? I could be persuaded to come up.

I'll be back in Michigan over the summer sometime, if the meet isn't done by then.
I'll be staying in the Chelsea/Stockbridge area. (2 hours from Metro), but driving is not a problem.
