Just an FYI, traffic into and out of the main gates to Hickam or Pearl Harbor can take a bit, especially in the afternoon rush out. Of course this is assuming normal work hours (6AM -3:30PM). Mililani is great community (I'm biased though because I was raised there). It's got majority of shops and a small group of restaurants but is still a short drive to other nearby areas if needed (like Kapolei). If you're looking towards that area you may also want to consider Waipio Gentry or Waikele. I wouldn't go anywhere past that though as traffic is KILLER. |

Hey Redleader got tired of DMAFB; I can't imagine why:eye bulge: I aaas stationed there for years.
But Your going to a place that is car crazy from what I've experienced and seen on TV. So there has to be good shops to get them worked on, or some locals that got it going on. Hang loose Brother If all else fails get with the HANG Guard a bunch of locals that should set you str8. Last but not least also there is a group on this site also. Thanks for your continued service & Happy Holidays |

I got tired of DM and my old job. Figured it was time for a change.
Oahu people: how is the supply/price of e85, and is there a shop that you prefer on the island (for things I can't do like fabrication and alignments and such custom work)? Sent from...somewhere? |

Don't rule out the Windward side! I live over in Temple Valley, takes me about 30 minutes to get to work. Its about a 10 minute sway either way.
Got a 3bedroom 2.5bath with a 2 car garage for 2000 a month. But it does rain more on this side! |

Hey @RedLeader
You will love this road above Honolulu: Tantalus road. It's got a lot of banked switchbacks on nice pavement. Made for a light RWD car with a limited slip. Maybe a lunchtime drive (<1hr door-to-door). Or a nighttime rendezvous with a date.

I enjoy driving Tantalus once in a rare while, but please be careful. It's a fairly heavily used road. Cyclists, joggers, walkers, hikers, dog walking,etc. DH skateboarders, but they're pretty nuts anyway.
