Oahu, Ewa Beach.
But grew up surfing mostly southside.
Recline the FRS passenger seat and you fit your board - I seatbelt mine in.(use a board sock so as not to get wax on seat)

Mind you, this was done at night, which I felt heightened the experience for me.

KR-S you sounded like you need more initial D style touge night runs

My thoughts on Island living is "Anyone who wants to live on an Island has not lived on an Island." They get small after a while and everything is either expensive or not available. You will develop a disdain for tourist. You are about to move in to a status of "Not a tourist but not from here either".

Cars in Hawaii rust like crazy due to the salt air.

As an experience to be had though, any living in a new environment is worth experiencing. Have fun.

It's permanent. I ain't coming back.


I've lived there before, on Oahu. I don't anticipate Island Fever.


If the car rusts, I'll just get another.

I almost forgot. Easier to get "leid" in Hawaii.

That can't be bad. Maybe it's like Vegas: Women come out here hoping for a vacation story to regret.

For such a desolate place, what's the speeding ticket situation like? Can you pretty much go 80+ without getting nabbed?


That looks like it'd be fun to drive but what's the deal if you break down? Pretty much wait until a policeman/tow trunk finds you before you starve to death, get eaten by something, or get picked up by a serial killer?

I think everybody missed the joke that the road is long and straight.

But it's got more elevation change than my entire state.

I've done a few round trips to Vegas from San Diego in a rented car. I averaged 90+ without issue.

If only my luck on the asphalt carried over to the BlackJack tables...

Having lived on Hawaii, at some point your going to want a capable 4WD, if for nothing more than ground clearance.
