The only good think about the midwest is that there is alot more dirt, and alot more grass too. There seems to be the same amount of air. I heard one time that it was raining all crazy in the midwest - man, those midwesterners know how to party!

 

damn, i need to get to the midwest!

 

The rural mid-mid west (Iowa, Nebraska, South & North Dakota etc.) has a million miles (well close) of open road with sweeping corners and often great visability and no traffic (i.e. secondary county roads). The police do not generally (except around cities) use stationary laser and there are few picture taking stationary speed traps. I have never had an officer look at my cat, my engine or anything else searching for a fix-it violation. Every evening, on the way home from work, I can drive as aggressively as I think is safe simply by turning left out of town rather than right in to town at the stop sign. If you pass the Country Kitchen with four patrol cars out front, well that's all of them in the county! When I go east (all those trees, curves, hidden driveways, and cops looking for a promotion) and west (all that pollution control, bad gas, and road side checks), I wonder why build a road car capable of 100+ to sit in traffic or dodge the laser. However, there is a very bad side..no AWD dynos to tune on except in Chicago, St. Louis, and Denver area.
