This is so relatable. Spotting deer, waving to other drivers on country roads, napkins storage, and just driving itself being the adventure. For me, it's half an hour to the small cities, and an hour to the big cities.
this actually made me tear up, i took so many car rides with my dad for granted, i grew up way too fast and I would give anything just to drive to the feed mill, the cabelas or the walmart with him, (he isn't dead, I just grew up and work full time)
Honestly, I miss doing this from my college days. Sometimes we'd just cruise around.. other times, we'd road trip across the state to the nearest White Castle, stay up all night jamming out and eating belly bombs.
It was very informative. Once we noticed that we were growing up in a place where people drove around aimlessly, we all made a point of getting the hell out when college came around, and none of us moved back. It's not for everyone.
@@mmcc5070 I don't know how but this is Like It's so bad in atlantic canada lmao. And same thing. Endless no you go or flash your highbeams, wait 10 seconds, ok this is long enough, both people start going, aghhh.
My brother calls this "going on an adventure" ...Dad called it "checking the fields" ...when we were teens we called it "cruising" ...it was the standard form or entertainment/time-wasting for everyone I knew. Minnesota born & raised! ;-)
I live in Indiana and when we'd have new people move here or visit, we'd take them to "Good Times" and not tell them what it was. They always guessed it was something nefarious or illicit. It was the water treatment plant where you could bulk wash your car with hundreds of thousands of gallons of water for like 50 cents. You'd put in a few coins, watch lights flash and a siren blare and for a solid 30 seconds your vehicle would be battered by water. Yeah, I miss the 90s.
I moved from the UK to Minnesota 8 months ago. I have indeed noticed the obsession with deer....and uber polite stop sign etiquette. Like, how do we ever drive anywhere? 😂 I am more impressed though by the wild turkey, I had never seen turkeys before I moved!
I grew up in Northern Wisconsin. This REALLY hits the spot. I currently live in Las Vegas. You dont realize the little things you miss in the midwest until you come out to the west coast (CA, western OR, western WA, Vegas, etc.). The last time I visited, I "went for a drive" with the wife. "There's where we picked off a bunch of ducks. Thats a great pond." "There's where I hit a deer during a snow storm." "That's a great little fishing hole right there. And there's nobody there. Huh... I wish I had my pole on me." "There's where I hit a deer the year we hit 100 degrees." "I used to do donuts on that lake." "I almost hit a deer on this hill." "Thats a great jump for the sleds (snowmobiles)." "I hit a deer right over there."
I'm from Ohio and when I i was a kid and stayed at my grandparents my grandpa would say "let's go check the crops". Which ment let's get ice cream and my grandma would act like she didn't know what we did. BTW he was a retired mechanic that lived on main Street... he had no reason to check the crops.
"he didn't wave" 😂 me and the wife take turns driving, both wave at 20 people. Whoever gets the most wave backs picks lunch ...I never get to pick lunch....
I'm literally sitting here thinking about how much I'm craving chocolate.... now I'm gonna head over to DQ. Dilly bar sounds perfect. And yeah, my glove box has loads of napkins as well. Love this channel.
Farm Country Ohio here. When I was “freshly” divorced and my kids were 10 and 14, we took aimless drives all the time. We’d literally drive until we found a little town with an ice cream shop. We’d get a cone and drive home. We discovered towns we’d never heard of and I learned a lot about what my kids were thinking. This video is just perfect.
This is 100% accurate. I’m from southwest Kansas and I’m 16. We drive around aimlessly even if it’s in the middle of the day, but I’m a country boy and driving on dirt road is 100% better than the town streets
23 year old here who is 100% ready to get out of South Carolina. Is the Midwest really this friendly? This kind of vibe is what I’m looking for in life lol.
My dad is from North Dakota. We were back visiting his family for the first time I could remember and he took me on this exact drive and ended with Dairy Queen. I grew up in California we had literally never done that before. I was so confused 😂
Uh no, happens all the time in the midwest. I've lived in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and people are just tryin' to be nice. But they should just obey the rules.
I'm in TX and this is true for us too. But for my hubby and me it's dropping a load off at the dump, make a trip to the feed store, and end it with blizzards at the DQ. Excellent date for a Sat morning.
I do this aimless driving almost every weekend with my daughter (: Usually at the 4 way, i accuse the other guy of never reading the indiana driver's manual 😂
I grew up in Alaska in a very small town and this is basically it. Go drive around aimlessly, the napkins in the glove box, the jerky, stop by the gas station for a snack or a coffee drive through. I thinknid enjoy living in the Midwest lol
I live in small town Manitoba in Canada and these videos are exactly how it is here. I think the Canadian Prairies and the U. S. Midwest are incredibly similar.
I am a simple man, I love a drive, I love some jerky, and I love me some DQ. The only thing missing from this video is joints. This video is 4:20 long... I stand corrected.
Took the kids on a drive yesterday. A destination is generally set a decent distance away and you can never take the same route back. We do roots tours and look at houses that I’ve built. Car snacks a must.
I live in southern NM, and it's almost exactly like this. Biggest differences being no one I know keeps napkins in the car but me, and our DQ closed, so we Sonic. But the "wave-on war" is real. My rule of thumb is wave one once, then go if they haven't. My friend once had to look a guy in the eye and command him to go 🤣 he looked almost ashamed.
Born and raised Midwesterner (but in a big city) and nothing I like more than just drive around places…I usually try to figure out a reason I need to go somewhere, and then take an interesting round about route..blast tunes, it’s a good thing! (Then I moved to California and driving = suffering in non stop traffic…but “winter” means it’s 55 and maybe some drizzle. A worthy trade!)
This video is 100% accurate, if you live in the Midwest it’s common to just drive around aimlessly for a while.
Jack just got back from driving around aimlessly and watched this lol
Same in Texas
And go to walmart
Drive around, yes, “aimlessly” never. The drive chooses you! 😁😂
I used to hang out at Walmart in high school too. Spot on. I also try to always have jerky, sometimes my damn dog finds it, that little bastard. Lol
This guy is the most stereotypical dad in the world. Whats gonna happen when he actually becomes a father 🤣
He is a dad though..
He'll be ready
I thought I was the only one that did this. I ain't alone 🥺.......
there are a lot of videos that kinda lay out exactly what will happen then
armando the cowboy it’s will be a boss dad
I've had the "What are they buildin' over there?" conversation more times than I think I've even driven a car.
You betcha!!
That's just nature at its finest
That four-way stop is the most accurate thing I've ever seen
They are everywhere in the Midwest
When my daughter first started driving and she saw the stop sign that read " all way" she thought it meant to make a complete stop. LMAO
Happens every. single. time.
Yep
That's a Canadian stand-off!
Ice cream is the only acceptable way to end a drive

This comment is 100% true!!
South Dakota!
Never realized how much of a “Midwesterner” I was until I saw this
ME TOO! I was just going to go for a drive...I'm Canadian and our accents sound similar...
This is "flyover" culture. There's places on the east coast (Western MA, Upstate NY, Pennsyltucky) that are eerily similar...
That's exactly what I just said! I've been gone for over 20 years now, but I see myself!
I’m Canadian, that’s not too dissimilar 😂
Fuck the midwest! I dont miss that shit :)
This is so true. When the governor shut down the state of MN for covid 19 he even recommended just to go for a drive😂
Two counties in our state have forbidden people to drive through.
Well if u don’t have 35 runnin thru your county youre fine. The rest of us though...
That is cool.
This is the most midwestern thing i've ever seen
Damn I miss the Midwest. I miss waving to people and actually getting a wave back.
They don't wave back anymore.

Very realistic driving in Wisconsin. Except we usually end up at Culvers or Kopps for ice cream
Very strange that you're getting ice cream from Culver's or Kopps, they only sell the FAR SUPERIOR frozen custard

The hand on steering wheel wave is always something you do on a backroad or passing by someone on a dirt road, that little wave is accurate
You know youre really midwestern when you recognize half of these roads too🤘🍻
My brother calls this "going on an adventure" ...Dad called it "checking the fields" ...when we were teens we called it "cruising" ...it was the standard form or entertainment/time-wasting for everyone I knew. Minnesota born & raised! ;-)
I live in Indiana and when we'd have new people move here or visit, we'd take them to "Good Times" and not tell them what it was. They always guessed it was something nefarious or illicit.
