The Piquette Avenue Ford Factory, where the Model T was developed and first built, is definitely worth a visit, but it's only open to the public from April to October. If you're in town for the NAIAS media preview, if you call the museum, they'll probably give you media access.

An additional recommendation if you find yourself in Ypsilanti: Motorsport Studio is an art gallery/ race shop in downtown Ypsi (around the corner from the hobby cave) that carries some amazing prints at really reasonable prices.

Drop into Vinsetta Garage (my favorite restaurant) on fabled Woodward Ave. in Royal Oak and have a beer and a Vinsetta Burger with me. I'm buying!

Green Dot Stables is a great hipster joint almost under the ambassador bridge. $2-$3-$4 gourmet sliders (try the Korean, a burger with Kimchee and peanut butter on it)
