Great news! Our very own Mercedes is currently in Detroit on super secret business, so what better way to cap off a trip than a meet-up with the lovely members of our community? It’s a bit last-minute, but last-minute plans beat no plans at all, so let’s roll the info.
What: A get-together to talk cars and stuff
Where: Parking structure behind Liberty Center/Mariott. Nearby address is 100 W Big Beaver Rd, Troy, Mich. 48084
When: Saturday, July 8 at 6:30 p.m.
Why: Mercedes is in town and wants to hang out!
Our merry band of wrench-happy scallywags will likely congregate in the far end of the parking structure near Livernois Road, but the entrance leading into the structure is to the west, so here’s a handy diagram so you can get a better picture of where to go.
As an added bonus, there are plenty of places to eat in the area, so you can grab some grub to avoid attending a social event on an empty stomach. Unfortunately, I’ll be in Toronto tending to some minor 3-Series items, but Mercedes will be there along with Nick, our ever-excellent Detroit-area ambassador. If you’re a member of our Discord, updates will be posted there as well as on our local area Facebook group. We hope to see you out there.

Woohoo! I used to live around there, it’ll be nice stopping by
How about St Louis. National Museum of Transportation. Some cars, but great trains.
Someday, hopefully, y’all are going to do a meetup in the New England area.
Of course if that actually happens I’ll probably be out of the country or something.
Woohoo! I just moved from South Bend back to mid-Michigan for a new job so I sadly missed the Chicago meetup. This should be a fun way to spend Saturday night.
Yo dawg, I heard you like Michigan Lefts
Big Beaver Rd. is divided up to Adams Rd. so that’s all you can make on it if you wanna turn left.
my favorite thing about big beaver road, its exit 69 on I75. Also theres a lot of good restaurants on that street
You mean eat out?
well hooters is out. that closed years ago. There was a hooters on big beaver road, Tracy’s house was up the street
You’re saying David lived on Big Beaver?
Complaining about overgrown front yards?
im not saying where he lived, all i know is I found it by driving down a random street. I saw a golden eagle and destroyed kia, I go yup thats David’s house
I think the Twin Peaks on 14 Mile Rd and Stephenson Hwy (2 miles south of the old Hooters location) put it out of business, so the area still isn’t shy of “breastaurants” (Troy, MI was one of the few cities with two open Hooters where corporate was trying to get the Troy’s permission to move into its last location at Big Beaver and Stephenson from John R and 15 Mile Roads).
Hooters on Big Beaver Rd. Now that is funny
There’s an exit 69 on I35 in MN with a truck stop called The Big Steer
little beaver road is exit 169 on i 75 in michigan also
Beaver tile is on that road too….
Still waiting for a KC meet…
