Guess what time of the year it is! It's time to start planning your 2013 Car Show season! Back again for our 9th year in a row, the Michigan FBody Meet & Greet continues to get bigger and better!

If you haven't heard about the Michigan FBody Meet & Greet, check out last year's pics:
Michigan FBody Events Gallery - 2012 Meet & Greet

For 2013, we return to our normal schedule - the first Saturday after Memorial Day! Note that we are also pushing the start time back one hour -- the show will run from 9am to 4pm.

What: 9th Annual Michigan FBody Meet & Greet Car Show
When: June 1st, 2013
Time: 9am to 4pm

We have a website devoted to our event information and registration too! You can find our website at:
Events - The Michigan FBody Association

Continuing with our tradition of having one of the best FBody events in the state of Michigan, our car show will continue to be free to enter. We do ask for those who come to the show and have a good time to drop a few bucks into the donation jar to show their support because putting the show together isn't free.

I'll be there. Can't wait

 

bump

 

I will try to make my 1st M&G can't wait

 

I'm gonna give it a shot if I can get off work, sounds like a real good time!!

 

Happy to have you guys there!

 

We will be there, our second in a row. Hopefully it isn't as hot this year. We will have a tent and a cooler full of stuff. Stop by and say whats up!

 

Anyone want to come put my car back together before June 1st?

 

Plenty of time Darren! I hope you can make it this year. When you get time think about some prices for all of that stuff i wanted and let me know. The hood, the front spoiler, the steering wheel. Cant remember if there was anything else?

 

I'm always down to help drink bee....uhh.. work on cars.

Can't do the meet & greet, my buddy moved his wedding to 6/1. I'm going to drive the iroc to put-in-bay and get stupid.

 

Thank you everyone who registered thus far! It's blustery cold out there this morning and the snow is blowing - great time to bump this thread and wishing for warmer weather!

We're already at 95 registrations - keep them coming!

 

Cant wait! This weather is not helping though.

 

Still bummed that I can't go but I intend on getting together with you locals once the weather breaks and we see some sunshine!

 

My car is still in a million pieces, but shouldn't be any problem getting it back together in time. I'm sure that this years show will be great as always. Can't wait.

 

All of us west side guys need to organize a monthly meet up and cruise out to Woodward on Friday nights. I know that there are some downriver guys and some west siders from my area and from the Brighton area on here and mifbody. I think it would be pretty cool to all cruise out there together. Maybe to the M&G too.

 

Bump

 

This looks like a blast, I wish I lived closer to MI.

 

Its not that far BlueZee. Grab some friends and make a weekend trip out of it. I'm pretty sure there were over 300 Camaro and Firebirds there last year. We need some more third gens there.

 

8.5 hrs is a pretty long trek

 

Yeah - 8.5 hours is a long drive for a one day show.

 

It's 6hrs from me but close to my hometown. If I have off work I may come.

 

Lol. Yeah it is. It was worth a shot at trying to get you to come out though. Nice car btw.

 

It's really hard to believe we're only 47 days away from the show! COME ON MR WEATHER, WAKE UP AND GIVE US SOME WARM WEATHER!!!!

With only 47 days to go we're already at 174 registrations received!

If you haven't already, please be sure and pre-register for the event at the following link -- this will make your "check in" to the event much easier for all of us!

What is the exact street adress for the meet and does your fbody have to be car show worthy?

 

The address to the show is 2025 S. Milford Rd, Milford, MI. And no, doesn't have to be "show worthy" - bring whatever you have and mingle.

 

Thanks boss

 

TTT for a great show you shouldn't miss.

 

Hard to believe that it's only two weeks away from tomorrow!!! The time is closing in fast, and although we haven't had a ton of super nice days, this weekend's weather should boost everyone's spirits for the 2013 cruising season!

With only two weeks to go, we're well over the 200 registered mark. As always, if you intend on attending the show, please pre-register so that we have your information and windshield slip ready for you when you arrive. This helps our registration tent run smoothly and let's us know how many voting slips and what not to print off.

doin a 305 to 350 swap, anyone in Gr wanna give me a hand so i can make the meet?? it would be very much appreciated , my first swap.

 

it seems like it might rain on Saturday what will happen to the show? if it rains?

 

As much as some folks don't like it, the show will go on -- rain or shine. Almost every year in the past we've had small downpours during the show. The key is to get to the show early so your car is parked while it's raining - that way your undercarriage stays clean and it's quick and easy to wipe the drops off the top half of the car.

Jokes aside, I won't be paying any attention to the weather forecast for Saturday until late Friday night and/or Saturday morning since there's plenty of time for it to change before then. But again - it will go on, rain or shine.

 

Just a quick update -- as of 7pm, we're at 293 registrations!

A quick break down of registrations thus far --
1st Generations: 16
2nd Generations: 15
3rd Generations: 39
4th Generations: 144
5th Generations: 77

1st Gen - Firebird: 6
2nd Gen - Camaro: 8

If anyone has any friends or family in the Metro Detroit area who owns a 1st Generation or 2nd Generation Camaro or Firebird, please let them know about our show on Saturday! We'd love to balance out the generations a little bit! Please spread the word about our show - we have a 1969 Camaro COPO registered and all of our registrations can be viewed here: http://www.mifbody.com/MeetGreet/spr...istrations.php

If you are planning on attending and haven't already registered, please register below! Registration will end on Friday morning so we can get the windshield slips printed. Please register before Friday!

You say rain or shine but news said thunderstorm all day changes lots things for ppl coming from 4 -5 hours away ...wish it was sunday

 

Hey guys --

I know the weather forecast today is a downer. There's a batch of rain coming through that is going to make most people's drive into the Meet & Greet wet and dirty. It sucks, I'm not denying that. But my car sat outside through the night during all the thunderstorms - it will be driven through the rain getting dirty - and it will be out in the open at the Meet & Greet all day today. And tomorrow I can simply wash the dirt off and it will be good as new. That's the great thing about our cars -- they're MEANT to be driven. They're MEANT to be enjoyed. And if a little bit of rain and washing your car is enough to turn you off from enjoying the ONLY all-FBody car show in Michigan, that's your loss. We have plenty of people who have committed to coming to the show - rain or shine - and we are NOT rescheduling. I know many of us have a "lot of time" invested in detailing our cars. Imagine all the time the event staff have invested in the show - the money we've invested on trophies, raffle prizes, advertising, etc. The weather forecast absolutely sucks to have ANY rain in it, but we're going to make the best of it today and we're going to rock it out - rain or shine.

That said -- as of 6:30am, like I said above there's a batch of rain coming through and then we're going to be free and clear from 9am until later in the afternoon. If the past week's weather is any indication, we won't have to worry about thunderstorms until after 2pm. That gives us a good amount of time to have a car show! And if a pop-up storm causes a torrential downpour for 15-20 minutes, we can all huddle around the bar at Bakers of Milford. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm extremely happy our event is at such a great establishment like Bakers of Milford instead of being in the middle of a metro park with only the little pavilion to get out of the rain. We have a whole restaurant and bar! So for that -- we're going to make the best of it, we're going to let our cars dirty, and we're going to suck it up and have a good time.

Regardless of turnout - I have 20 trophies ready to go today. Best of Generation (1st, 2nd, 3rd place trophies), Best Camaro, Best Firebird, Best of Show, Douglas Warren Memorial Trophy, and Longest Hauler. These trophies are going home with someone TODAY - so if a bunch of people chicken out, your odds of winning increases. Secondly, we have a ton of raffle prizes and freebies to give out. If you're extremely worried about a little bit of water touching your paint then bring your DD and come hang out with us. Buy some raffle tickets, get some of the freebies, have lunch at Bakers, and see what our Meet & Greet is all about -- an informal car show to meet and mingle with fellow FBody enthusiasts.
