WXYZ DETROIT — Michigan loves its motor vehicles and reaction to the 31st Woodward Dream Cruise is solid proof.

Stewart Jones sent us a photo of his silver Mustang with the caption:

“Loaded up and ready for the yearly trip!”

Jennifer Futrell Evans posted a Facebook photo of her 1969 Ford Falcon which she says is all original.

Bob Wilton simply said:

“What a wonderful day!”

Stewart Jones wondered:

“How many ’97 Woodward Dream Cruise Mustangs will be spotted this year? Can’t wait to see!”

Peggy Anne took a selfie with two classics behind her and wrote two words:

“Fun times!”

Janet Sherman lamented:

“Miss all that fun now that I live in Minnesota! Enjoy the day!”

Tim Kramer wrote:

"Too many newer cars with their stereos blaring. If they can shut Woodward down for #RoadkillNights, then they can make sure no car under 25 years old drives on Woodward.”

Another viewer said:

“I’m so proud of our city, our beautiful cool autos and all those that care and cherish these treasures.”

Lucy Flynn said:

“Incredible event every year, one of my favorites.”

Our back-to-school editorial prompted these comments. One viewer wrote:

“My grandson started back last week in Perry (Michigan). He was excited to get back to see all his friends. I was always nervous about not remembering my combination to my locker or not knowing what teachers I would have.”
-              Diana Gless-Byk

I think we can all relate to that!

And finally, this warm message from Pam Annette:

“Wishing all of the kids a safe and happy school year.”

Thanks for writing and watching.
