    After wandering around the show for a couple of hours, 
everyone was starting to get the urge to eat. We decided to take a break from 
the show and head to Greektown on the People Mover and dine at PizzaPapolis for 
lunch. It was quite a sight, but they managed to seat all 17 members of our 
party in one spot! Oh, and lunch was great, as usual!

			Tyler and Ben got the privilege of being the Elderly and 
			Handicapped this year. Here is last year's
			
			photo, along with the
			
			2011,
			
			2010 and
			
			2009 editions. I am sure that they are proud to carry on the 
			tradition for the us!

    After dinner the rest of our companions headed home for 
the afternoon. We soldiered on, however, heading back inside to get one last 
look at some of the cars that we missed earlier this morning. Enjoy!
