Partially OT: S/Cs and Car Museums in Detroit
BaggerRider

During the days I was hoping to visit a couple car museums, I'm mostly interested in late 60s and 70s muscle cars. Any suggestions on the best museums to visit? Also any suggestions on safe, decent places to stay? Is staying in Inkster a good idea, or are there better places?
Got something to say?

For museums I would definitly recommend the Roush Museum because it has an amazing collection of high performance cars. The Stahls Collection just north of Detroit is also great, it is mostly earlier cars but they do have some muscle cars as well. Of course the big 3 automakers (Ford, Gm, Chrysler) all have museums in Detroit as well.

I can't think of any hotels I would recommend in Inkster. You can find many chain hotels along I-94 near the airport. Flight Club and Landing Strip are not far from the airport.
Here’s an out of date article that may help.

There are plenty of nice hotels near the airport and in Dearborn, Inkster is in between the airport and Dearborn. Flight club and Landing strip are about 10-15 minutes apart off of Michigan Ave. Strangely I never found any decent restaurants near the airport, there are plenty of good ones in Dearborn.
There’s a Marriott near the airport that’s usually good priced and clean. My favorite hotel in the area is the Henry Autograph in Dearborn but sometimes the weekend rates really don’t justify the added cost over other options.
If you’re staying in Dearborn you will pass BTs, then 10 minutes down the road Flight Club, then another 10 minutes or so the Landing Strip (complete opposite of you’re staying by the airport).
It also wouldn’t hurt checking out BTs, it’s interior is similar quality to Landing Strip although of the 3 clubs, they would likely have the weakest dancer lineup, plus I believe it’s $20 to enter the lapdance area EVERY-TIME you go back there.
I can’t comment on current line ups because I haven’t been clubbing in Detroit since before COVID, but all 3 clubs mentioned offered very liberal lapdances the last time I was at all of them.
Thanks for all the info everyone, I appreciate it.
I strongly second a visit to the Henry Ford Museum and go get a burger at Miller's or Ford's Garage.
On the nights that I wanted to drink and Uber/cab it, Flight Club offered a car service to take me back to my hotel, I think it was around $10 plus tip. Not sure if they still offer that.
