You never know what the OEM’s are going to slip into the Woodward Dream Cruise. Here was one surprise. The new Pontiac G8 is what I assume to be all production ready.

Well another year of odd weather for the cruise. A day in the sixties maybe seventies and light rain in the afternoon still didn’t keep people away. The cruise brought in a huge crowd and some interesting sights. Stay tuned for Dream Cruise highlights throughout the week and I will have the gallery up by the end of the day.

When you think of “sex on wheels” you are hard-pressed (no pun intended) to find a car that more iconic than the Aston Martin. Featured prominently in all of the good Bond movies (snarf!) the Aston family consistently puts out sexy, muscular thoroughbreds.
The DBS is no different.
