    If you are looking for a cool, once in a lifetime thing to do, check out the Henry Ford Museum. They have a really cool exhibit calle "Take a Peek Under Our Hoods".
    They are lifting the hoods of over 50 cars so you can take a good look-see. Some of the cars that you'll be able to drool over:

    1919 Model T
    1923 “Copper Cooled” Chevrolet
    1924 Doble Model E
    1931 Duesenberg
    1931 Bugatti Royale
    1932 Ford hot rod
    1933 Willys “Gasser”
    1943 Willys Jeep
    1949 Volkswagen
    1956 Chrysler 300B
    1960 Chevrolet Corvair
    1960 Meskowski
    1964 Chrysler Turbine
    1965 Goldenrod
    1967 Ford Mark IV Le Mans

    I mean, how many of these would I ever see in person, let alone being able to take a look at the engines!
    They also have shuttle service to and from the NAIAS.

    Well I'm not from Michigan originally, but I live there now and love it. I feel sorry for those who have had to leave due to the economy, but seriously it's a great place to be.
