Hmm...I doubt my shark will make it, but I'll see about having the chain tensioner it chewed up make an appearance. Another donation for the 928 Shrine.

If it were my choice I'd take the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon. Then it's almost a straight shot down I-96.
Although... driving a 928 through the UP would be nice, too. The only downside is the last 2 hours from Bay City/Midland/Saginaw on I-75. Not much to look at, but at least you'd be driving against traffic. On a Friday in July half the population of Detroit will be heading up north...

Sometimes when I'm in a really surly mood, I'll test the bar tender by ordering a Hacker-Pschorr.

Just got off the phone with Diane at the Best Western in Whitmore Lake, MI. She said she could give us a $10/night discount off their current published rates of $99/night. So that's $89/night. Not great but better than a sharp stick in the eye. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

9897 Main Street,
Whitmore Lake, MI, 48189-9438

I checked Expedia.com - that hotel 89.99 per night is the senior rate
Dude, how old are you?

I was on Expedia anyway trying to plan a fall trip - decided to plug in SIH location to see what was all out there. That Best Western is about it.
