"Second to None" aka "The COGs"
(Story & Photo Submitted by J. Ridge)

The group "Second to None" started in the spirit of fellowship of brothers who share a common interest in cars...primarily muscles. We jokingly call ourselves the COGs (Cruise Old Guys). Although we are not an official group it has taken on a personally of it own. Each year participation increases with brothers attending from Michigan, California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. We meet each year at the Woodward Cruise. The brothers are well educated and professional or retired professionals. Many of the brothers have finely detailed, and craftly build "muscle cars". This event has lead to an ongoing fellowship throughout the year. We share best practices, support each others events via e-mails, phone calls, and shared participation at Drag Races, Car Shows, etc.
