Hi GRM Detroiters!  I'll be up doing a customer event for my company at the Dream Cruise Saturday afternoon and thought I'd see who else was coming?  I should have Fri and Sat evening free if folks want to grab an adult beverage or checkout the show.

2021 Woodward Dream Cruise

My company is doing a customer event near Royal Oak.  If you are remotely related to automotive where I can sell plastic you are welcome to join.  Just pm me.

Awesome - I'll be staying in Troy and the office is in Royal Oak - regardless not terribly far from you.  Will see if I can PM you and Tom a phone number.  I'll be doing work crap till 6 or so Fri and Sat but free after that.  Will likely have the Tesla as my other Woodward friendly vehicles aren't up for the road trip momentarily.  Soon...

Looks like I'll be in as well. Tom just clued me into this, he'll be stopping by my place in his newly mobile Boxster as mine is still semi-dead.  Todd just lives a few blocks over from me as well.

Unfortunately I won't be around Saturday as we are taking my 88-year-old father-in-law to Fallingwater in Pennsylvania, a bucket list item for him  My bad for not paying attention to the dates when we were planning.

Funnily enough I have an interest in molding TPE and PBT for automotive applications.

I'm happy to help with the TPE and PBT discussion Adrian.  I sell injection molding machinery now but was an applications engineer at Monsanto/ExxonMobil JV doing work with their materials in a prior life, aka the 1990's!

I saw that first Econoline parked today just north of 12 mile, a few others with it (maybe the ones you posted), looked great!
