Did you ever "Drag Main" when you were a teen?

Question

Asked a young co-worker of mine if kids his age still dragged main and he looked me like I came from another planet. When I explained that we drove up and down main street, and thats how we 'hooked up' with other friends, or got news about a party or what ever, he just laughed and said"we have cell phones!" So did any of you drag main, or maybe you did and called it something else.

Answer 1

No, my parents did not allow me to do that.

Answer 2

We called it "Cruising."

Answer 3

No, Woodward Ave. from Ferndale to Pontiac, going NW from Detroit, about a ten mile stretch. The "Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise" is next week I think-they have over one million people line Woodward, an eight lane divided highway.  

Answer 4

My mom and dad wouldn't let me.

Answer 5

Absolutely, and gas was only 25 cents a gallon..

Answer 6

Only posers and 'clients' drag main these days

Answer 7

Yep, and still do every chance I get.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Did I ever! We even had a Shoney's drive-in where the girls wore roller skates! Its where I met and fell in love with my first husband.  :)

Answer 10

Our main thing was "cruising" the drive-thrus. Like the sonic of today.

Answer 11

We did, yes.  But the street wasn't named Main, so we used to call it "slashin' Ash"

Answer 12

YES, thank you so much for that memory.  Idiot counsel tore down Main St in the 70's, what a tragic loss.

Answer 13

Yes, we called it cruising main, it was just like American Graffiti.

Answer 14

We sure did. Gas was cheap and it was the thing to do.
