2008 Woodward Dream Cruise HHR Meet
#11
Ya, your right... I wonder why GM introduced the HHR SS at last years Woodward Dream Cruise. What a bunch of dummies (GM), having unvailed a fun "nostalgic inspired" fast and fuel efficient, 5 passenger cruiser at such an event.

Neither have Vipers, new Vettes, PT Cruisers, new Mustangs, SSRs, and according to some folks, anything foreign built regardless of age.
But since Woodward isn't closed for this event, all are in attendance.
Eastpointe's Gratiot Cruise has a dedicated classic car lane that you have to purchase a permit to be able to drive in.... however, only requirement is 25 yrs or older, which means a Citation qualifies. I'd rather look at a line of new HHRs than one 25 yr old Citation.

Since I first posted this idea, I found out I'll be working that weekend, kinda of sucks. So I have'nt really pursued this, or tried to really organize it. But the parking lot is available to those who would like to meet up there. The address is 2840 crooks road rochester hills, Mi. We probably have around 30-40 spaces on are side of the lot. Sorry this was kind of a half-ass plan on my part, but I plan to make good for next year!

Thanks. We can call this our morning meeting spot. Never been to Woodward Dream Cruise so someone try and take the reins on this.

This cruise is very huge and nice. I been there one time in my Camaro and its sure great to cruise it. A single HHR might not stand out but to make a real show about a dozen cruising together would do the trick. Perhaps there is a local PT cruiser club we can form a retro alliance with for the day! 20-30 PT's and HHR's in a convoy would be sweet. But you want to meet up early like 9-10am on that day and get some cruising in before 12. After that its best to find a place to park and watch the cars too! I would definitely come back to Detroit for a nice weather day and meet.

Then why are there parking lots filled with clubs representing PT Cruisers, Vipers, a HUGE spot for the Prowler, and of all things, a spot set aside for Scions. The Woodward Dream Cruise is all about peoples love for their cars and a way to show off their classics or customs. I also happened to see Bob Lutz driving around all day in a HHR SS.
