Default 2012 Power Tour

This year's tour starts in Detroit, and I was thinking about going for the first 3 stops. Has anyone here gone before? what are the biggest likes/dislikes?
Thanks

It's all good. We go every year. Main thing to do first is get your hotels booked now. You can always cancel later.

Did the Tour East back in the late 90's, never long-hauled but a few stops each year. I can't remember anything I disliked, plenty I liked. Lots of awesome cars and folks,a real sense of camraderie on the road.

most fun I've ever had automotive-wise was the three Power Tours I was able to do. Highly recommend!

I've gone 3 years in a row and its better and better each year, but a bit more crowded. You see so many different types of cars. Like someone else said, book your hotel now, even if you just think you might be going, you can always cancel them.

There were a few neighborhoods where you don't feel leaving your car overnight in a hotel parking lot, so research the areas your going.
