You ever do the Rolling Sculpture exhibition in Ann Arbor? It usually happens on a Friday in late spring/early summer, when they close off main street and some adjacent roads and people show their cars (a fair number of classic cars, plus others). I've got a buddy who teaches automotive and we can always count on not having him in the Nematodes Coed Softball Team (Comedy/Beer Consumption Bracket) outfield when Rolling Sculpture is in town.
edit: Oh yeah, and while it's out of character for Ann Arbor to have a car show, it's totally Ann Arbor that they call it something poofy like "Rolling Sculpture".

Hey ! I had been hearing about it, I did not know there were so many F1s ! Now I gotta move my lazy ass (it's like 70 mi from where I am) ! :eek:
Useless info : they also have a circuit, and this little town SW of Rennes is also the Mecca of French (and possibly European) Rally cross racing...
