    I think we will stop short of Detroit as I only have my motel rooms for Friday & Saturday night..... It might be next to impossible to find a room with 50 miles of Detroit..... I am flexible on my starting time, are you leaving out after work on Wednesday?

        Either Wednesday after work or Thursday, I'm flexible too! Daughter is riding with me and I will drop her in Chicago area on my way to Champaign. I haven't gotten much response on cars leaving from Atlanta. I'm a planner, so I like to have plans made. However, I also am flexible enough to not mind a change in plans.....My first real commitment is the Roush collection tour in Livonia on Friday and prepaid hotel room for Friday and Saturday.....no changing that!

          Sounds good.... As we get a couple of weeks out we can nail down the plan, definitively more fun when we travel with lots of friends....

              check with Ed and see when he is going. i suspect he'll head up I75.
              I would avoid Atlanta too, if I were you........unfortunately, I live in the metro, so I'm stuck with it. Luckily, I'm 30+ miles out, so if I go NE, I miss it........;)

                Atlanta is not too bad, it depends on the time you go through it......
