how can you say the car culture sucks when this place is in Des Moines Iowa

Place is always full of nothing but 50s caddys or 60s corvettes. saw a 73 challenger once. neat place tho. my highschool art teacher did all the paintings in the showroom.

At least you have a 1/4 mile strip. Here in Louisville we only have an 1/8 mile, nearest 1/4 mile is an hour+ away. Heroin and meth junkies EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! Yes, the hipsters have invaded downtown, but it has brought a ton of business, infrastructure opps, etc to the area to accommodate such liveliness. The Burban is gonna be a hard sell without an engine. Slap the big block back in there and it would've been gone already!
I wish there was one an hour away. "our" 1/4 mile is 2 hours 15 minutes away. It's like 5 miles from the boarder of nebraska. im lucky I live in the middle of the state. anyone in davenport would be ****ed.

The car culture is just fine. The kid needs to get out of the geto and experience life. I started with three batches of popcorn and now have none left, so I am done with this now.
it's the east side. but the *ss of the east side. not quite as ghetto as the south side, but still ghetto. can't "experience" life when you work nights and constant overtime, don't drink, don't party, and your only hobby is cars which you can barely afford because something ****ing stupid out of ones control happens every other week that completely drains your bank account or soul.

AS SAID.

Carry on.

Google says there are 7 drag strips in Iowa. One is about an hour to the southeast of Des Moines.
Most of those are 1/8 mile. And over an hour away for every one. I'm not opposed to driving that long but it's not like they're in my backyard.

meth heads literally around every corner
The old job I had to deal with the "left overs" after they left the needles where they shot up, the pipes cause they were too toasted remember it, had to avoid touching everything. This was in the city, the boroughs, the parks, anywhere regardless of income levels. Now when it comes to seaonal highway clean up with the state they warned about everything & anything not to touch, call the police to report it, & this is again anywhere regardless of income levels. It's the sad world we live in now.
I could put the wife in the wagon & she'd be happy.
