Is anybody located in the Des Moines area?


CG - did you just move to Des Moines? I ask only because the picture in your sig was taken around here (Phoenix) somewhere, with a couple of Saguaro's in the background.

Cyclone - Where are you from? I moved here from Chicago about 1 year ago.

[CycloneISU]

Hey guys, got a strange question for you........do you get a lot of tornados out there? I just took a new job with a company based out of des moines and will be out there all next week. I know you guys had a few really bad ones out there few weeks ago. I have never been to Iowa so I am looking forward to it.

What, you've never seen a corn field before? :wink: I have family down there and the've been there almost all their life and none have ever seen a tornado. They've heard about them hitting neighboring towns, but they haven't seen one themselves (I forget what town they live in, but I'm going down there for a graduation party in a month).

[spoonerock]

On the weekends, I'm 20 minutes from Dubuque! :yes:

Thats good to know! Hopefully that there is more to see then just corn fields:)

Yep!....There's lots of variety................corn AND soy bean fields!:grin: :grin:

[CycloneISU]

Hey you all forgot about them hey fields

Tornados are nothing to worry about respect them yes and seek shelter when one is near by. The ones that get hurt and killed are those hanging outside taking video of them. I believe that falls under natural selection. I have seen a few and the thing I would worry about is hail and wind damage. Iowa is great you will get all four seasons. Wish it was summer in the winter and wish it was winter in the summer, or at lest that’s what most of the good old farms say. Let me be one of the first to say it welcome to Iowa. :wave:

I forgot about the hay fields....

I've got a graduation party to go to in Laurens, IA this coming sunday. Its going to be a little over 3 hours one way (about 170 miles). Still trying to figure out my best route (if I still had my truck, I'd just short cut it thru one of the huge corn fields :D )...

[falchulk]

Well, at least this area of Iowa has more then just corn fields:) There is a lot more to do here then I thought. There are so many restaurnats, develpoments, shopping centers, malls and other brand new things. It's amazing how much is so new and to see all the construction. It's going to be booming here in 5 years.

[YellowBlack07]

I'm not an owner, YET. I've ordered the super bee srt, it should be here soon!!!!!!! Can't wait. I'm in Marion, Iowa

[SOCALTHOME]

We just got back to San Diego after a trip to Iowa. The Charger handled really well. We didn't see to many Chargers in Iowa although did see a sweet SRT in Clear Lake. the dodge dealer in Mason City had 2 sxt's on the lot and that was about all I saw in North Iowa. We got alot of looks in my home town and everyone was asking what it was.

How do you guys get rid of the dead bug stains? I am still trying to buff them out. We rarely have that issue in San Diego.

[YellowBlack07]

I have always just presoaked them with soap and kept it wet while washing the rest of the vehicle. Then when your ready for the grill area and mirrors they pretty much wash off with a few exceptions. That is just my method. They have "special bug spray" I did try it once. I didn't notice a big difference for the price they were.

[1Badass R/T]

Hey guy's

I'm new to the forum. I live in West Des Moines. I purchased my charger R/T about 2 weeks ago.

CG Daytona- the exhaust sounds great ! What kind is it and where in Des Moines did you get it.

[Machu10]

I am in Urbandale, Just picked up my TB daytona today.

[akers171]

I live about 45 min sw of Des Moines, in Winterset. But work in DsM. got a Yellow Daytona.

[jayman]

I live 10 mins from Ames in Nevada, 06 R/T inferno red

[Kleos1]

Just found this site, we have 06 Daytona, Top Banana #2413

[Bucs012]

Just got my 2007 Super Bee #708, yesterday here in West Des Moines (Clive)

[Kleos1]

I saw a Super Bee a few days ago at the Roller rink over by Gabus Ford, was that yours or do we have another lurking about

[Bucs012]

That was me! My daughter was skating at Skate North as they were off for spring break and I went watch her.

You hardly see any SRT8's at all around Des Moines. Very surprised.

Do you happen to work on 100th St? I see an 2006 Top Banana there at the Recreation Room about every day. I work just down the street from there.

Not me, I work down town just a few blocks from the I-Cubs. Your most likey to spot ours up around the Windsong Theater

I've seen a black SRT on the I-235 a number of times on my way into down town.
I also noticed a GoMango Daytona that parks in a lot on the north side of MLK at 9th st.

[BIGGCharger]

Idiots
Out
Wondering
Around




I can get away with that because I grew up in Rock Rapids, Ia. (appx.70 miles north of Sioux CIty) Farm boy and all, well, used to be.

[BIGGCharger]

Is it true what we hear you guys do in Texas?


I live in Dallas, not a lot of steers here, probably a lot more there where you are in Iowa. :lol:

[Bucs012]

I thought Sheep were involved. Sorry.:silenced:

[BIGGCharger]

definately more sheep in Iowa I think. we used to ride them like wild horses when I was little, but that is IT!

[Bucs012]

Gee, I really look for Chargers now when I am out on the road. You see some basic Chargers but I have only seen 1 Daytona RT, and 0 SRT8's as of yet. Does anyone else see many in Iowa?

I saw a certain yellow Super Bee about 1:30 today at 100th and Douglas, then another yellow Dayona at the Walgreens at 86th and Merideth. Ours was home tucked into it's nice warm garage.:) To many puddles around

[Bucs012]

Kleo- That was probably me again. I was out around 1:30-3:00 in that area. I went driving BEFORE I ended up at the car wash, then home to dry/clean. My car got all dirty Saturday driving in the rain to get my windows tinted......

I did see another Bee on Hickman, Sunday too. Only thing that threw me off was that it did NOT have the hood decals. It had the rear Super Bee decal though. I did not know they made Bee's with no hood decals.

[1Badass R/T]

Hey Fellas..

i've probably seen both of you around... we should try and have a little Des Moines area meet and greet. I think it would be fun. Bucs do you have a motorcycle? I see kleo does. I got one too..

I've seen a sublime charger intown also... it had tinited windows and looked pretty sweet.

[Bucs012]

Yep, the Sublime Charger was from Stew's and the guy bought it right after I was out looking at cars. I wanted yellow, but it is a nice car! The guy that tinted his windows also did mine.

I have an 05 Harley Deuce and an 07 Harley Road Glide.

We should all hook up this summer and upset all the Corvette Guys. :silenced:

[1Badass R/T]

Sounds awesome to me.

We should set a date during the week perhaps 2 weeks out or something and let everyone know from the des moines area and have a meet and greet. It could only be for a few hours or something. or perhaps a sunday. That way everyone could still have their weekends. Then after the intial M&G we could have another one.. maybe at porkys or something...

Wouldn't that be something... One side all Chargers...

Then we could do the same on our bikes...

Any suggestions ?

[Kleos1]

Sounds good to me; although we'll be out of town April 20-28 and again May 4-6.

Saw your car parked in the corner of the Bucs lot, Friday Night.
Also saw the 07 Sublime Charger Saturday morning over at Ashworth and 50th. He crossed the light in front of me. He did not even look over at me. I was waving but perhaps he did not see me.

Let's try to hook up the end of mid May when the weather is more stable. Let's plan on something around Mid May or so. Like you said, even if it's for a few hours eating dinner somewhere or hooking up at Porkey's during the day on a Saturday.

[blairian]

im going to Cornell next year in Mount Vernon, however i wont have my BEE up there

[1Badass R/T]

"Saw your car parked in the corner of the Bucs lot, Friday Night."

Sooooooo...
What did ya think of the ol' charger sitting in the corner... ha ha

The last game of the year is this Friday.. hope to see ya there... Bring your bee. I'll save ya a spot next to mine. I'll be there at 5pm for the Tailgate party. Beer is a buc $$$$$

[Bucs012]

We'll see. I just washed the dang thing and now it's raining/snowing! Got my new Corsa exhuast last night and hope to get it on later today OR Friday.

Let's hook up either way though!

[1Badass R/T]

Not a problem, I have to be there at 5pm either way... Mine is really dirty too and i haven't had time to wash it...

[Bucs012]

We got there about 5:15 and drove by our car about half way up on the West side of the rink. You were not there. The Pork Producers kart was parked there. I think they were getting something out of a car by you.

Were you outside? We grabbed a few beers and sandwhiches.

Got my Corsa exhaust put on this morning!

[1Badass R/T]

I sent you a pm...

I can't wait to hear that thing. I bet it sounds awesome...

[Richelieu]

Hey guys,

New R/T owner up here in Ames. Black. Nothing too exciting...

[1Badass R/T]

Richelieu,

Good to hear... search the forum for all kind of great mods. Some are real easy and inexpensive. A couple of us in the des moines area are trying to get a meeting together.. let us know of your interests...

helpfull hint on some mods.
Depending on your budget... I would recommend the brycleem mod for your exhaust for starters... it should be $100 or less and it makes the car sound a ton better. (more like a hemi)

Also the noesp mod computer chip is great and works well. well worth the $50 bucks... easy to install too.

later,
Nick

[Richelieu]

Hey Iowa Guys,

What do you have for window tint? I'm getting mine done next Tuesday and tentatively have it set at 50 front two windows, 35 rear windows...

Has anyone gone 35's on their front windows?

[Bucs012]

I think 1BADASS has 35 on his front windows.

You know, I went 50% on my rear and back side windows. Have not thouched the front/sides though. Too worried about tickets from police. Some people I talk to get tickets and warned. Some don't.......Sure would like to get my front side windows tinted though. Also, there are sure A LOT of cars/trucks that have their front side windows tinted. Dark too!

[Kleos1]

Lon,
Who did yours and about how much was the cost; and are you happy with there job

[Richelieu]

Lon,

Your pictures are of the SuperBee before the tinting, correct? They look a little... "pale"... for having tint on them.. (and they all look the same!)

Otherwise, I might be going 35! :P

[Bucs012]

My pics are all of the car BEFORE the tinting was done. Best Window Tinting did mine. They are located on Swanson Blvd in Clive at the same location the old Music On Wheels used to be. Very happy with the job and only took him about 1.5 hours to do my rear and rear/side windows.

[Richelieu]

My pictures from our Cruise-In are at home, do you have a pic of your windows post tint?

[Bucs012]

Here are your pictures you took. Just scroll down to the bottom. 1Badass and I have pretty much the same darkness. Hppe this helps you out.

Thanks for the info, will have to run by there and check them out.

[1Badass R/T]

hey guys,

how's it going? My front windows are tinted 50% and the back 3 are tinted 5%. I actually know some guys that do tinting.. it is the same guy that did my car.. it turned out great..
I'm actually going to add a 6" stip accross the front windshield. I see a couple cars on here that have them and i like it alot.. not to mention it should help with the sun and heat.


let me know if you would like me to contact them for you.
