Congrats Arin. You'll have a 40 minute drive to Dearborn from Ann Arbor, or about an hour to Detroit. I highly recommend the Rouge plant tour as well as a visit to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.

Congrats Arin. Hope you enjoy the time spent in the Midwest. I love it so much, I live here. You should swing by and check out Lambeau Field if you can. The tours are great.

MAJOR CoNGRATS ! You must go to Ford Museum! I went to the 2004 Detriot Auto Show, Me and Dad were almost the first people in line! I ran straight for the Ford Display! I was one of the first people to see the New Mustang GT and Cobra Concept! My Avatar is a picture I took at the Show! OOH I couldn't help my self and I TOUCHED the Titanum Silver Mustang at the show despite the do not touch signs! Hey have a camera ready at all times, I saw a couple CAMOUFLAGED concept cars driving on the ROADS! DETRIOT ROCKS!

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!
