Does it count if I've been displaced? 
I graduated high school in Owosso, then traveled to a few other states with Uncle Sam and ended up here in Washington.

Re: Mi people where you at?
So since many of us are not that far from each other I think we should all plan a drive in cruise night. Would be a great time I think, anyone interested?

Re: Mi people where you at?
Grand Rapids - 1989 Trans Am. All original.
Anyone looking to get a group together for either the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit or the Metro Cruise in Grand Rapids in 2011? I was at both this year and disappointed to see such a poor turn out of 3rd gens.

Re: Mi people where you at?
Woodward would be great, but the Metro Cruise always falls on the same weekend as the Trans Am Nationals, and IMO they take presedence.
If you're not doing anything Oct 23 you should join the West Michigan Firebird Club on their 2nd Annual Fall Color Tour. Here's the details on their event........
If you're not doing anything Oct 23 you should join the West Michigan Firebird Club on their 2nd Annual Fall Color Tour. Here's the details on their event........
WMFC 2nd Annual Color Tour
We’ll be meeting in Holland at the Elhart Pontiac-GMC Automotive Campus on Saturday October 23rd. We’ll depart from there at 10am, so plan to arrive sometime between 9:30am and then.
We’ll start out by taking a drive along the south shore of Lake Macatawa, and then a scenic back road down to Saugatuck. We’ll stop in Saugatuck to let the ladies do a little perusing thru the shops. From there we’ll travel along the lake shore to South Haven. We’ll stop at a couple spots in South Haven for photos, and then consider if we want to eat in town there or continue on towards the Benton Harbor/St. Joe area.
From South Haven we’ll head south on Blue Star Hwy which is a very cool drive as you’ll experience what is was like to travel to Chicago before there was an I-196. Once we get into St. Joe we’ll let the ladies check out the stores there again and then cruise around the area…….they have a really nice beach front with a train depot and an amusement area which should provide for some nice photo opps. Depending on the time and how everybody feels we’ll decide whether to go further south or hop on I-196 and head home.
We’ll reserve Oct 24th as a rain date
Hope to see ya then!!

Re: Mi people where you at?
Thanks for the info on the WMFC. I've seen the website and plan on joining the club for the 2011 season. It looks like they have some great cruises and events! Unfortunately, I already have plans on the 23rd but will look forward to attending some of the events next year. Thanks!
