Woodward Dream Cruise: A Plague Upon All Your Movie Houses
Awesome as the Woodward Dream Cruise is, many businesses on Woodward Avenue harbor a Biblical hate for it in their hearts. The marquee of the Magic Bag theater in fabulous Ferndale is going all Old Testament on us. [DetroitNews]

Even Chihuahuas Join In On The Woodward Dream Cruise Fun
This is blindingly idiotic. It's a little hat-wearing chihuahua "driving" a Volkswagen Buggy RC car alongside the Woodward Dream Cruise. This fella could be the mascot for the Cruise — an event where you see the best of the best, the worst of the worst and everything in between in car culture. By the way, the dog's name is Peanut and he's actually moving faster than the mess of traffic that's currently Woodward Avenue. More » -

The Devils Joke Laughs At Helmet Laws At Woodward Dream Cruise
Unfortunately, the guy on this thing was in a hurry to get on his way, so we only got a little info, but the pictures here speak for themselves. This home-built thingamajig named "The Devil's Joke" was built as a tribute to Vietnam vets and apparently, total insanity. The power train here is a 2.8 liter Ford V6 sporting an Offenhauser intake and a four-barrel carb. Pay close attention to how it's steered, throttled and suspended. Brilliant. More » -

Jalopnik Discovers Jake's Unofficial Successor At ZR1 Ice Cream Break, Meet Elwood
We were cruising Woodward a couple minutes ago, scoping things out for spontaneous conflagrations of coolness, and we got way more than we bargained for. Parked outside the Dairy Deluxe, an ice cream parlor staple along the Ave, was a pair of Corvette ZR1s. So of course, like moths to a flame we descended for picture taking. Only thing is, the ZR1's kept coming, in all, five of the super-Vettes had been driven in by various members of the GM engineering squad, and that wasn't all we saw, we discovered the unofficial mascot of the ZR1 — he's blue, he has horns, and his name is Elwood. Get it? Jake and Elwood, like the Blues Brothers. Jump for more. More »
