Is the Mustang the official car of Hawaii?

[car]

Assume you're talking about Marukame Udon on Kuhio?

I saw the line at that place every night, and wanted to try it, but the wait wasn't worth it. They open at like 7 AM, and on my last day, I walked right in at breakfast time to have some udon. It was amazing!

Chiba-Ken is a really good sushi place over near the Hilton Hawaiian Village that I'd recommend!

I also walked into the Tesla store a little...drunk...one night.

JR

Yes I thought the wait would not be worth it but only about 5 to 10 mins - and it was worth it!

My Experience IN Hawaii

Hi All

I was on 4 different Hawaiian Islands in August.

Frankly, every, 100%, all, Honeymoon couples either drove a Jeep Wrangler or a brightly colored Mustang Ecoboost.

I was a little disappointed in not seeing many white ones like CVCashmere

There were a very small fleet of GT;s available-both were black.

When I go back...I will rent the Jeep!

Since I've only been to Hawaii once and that was 2006. Do you guys happen to know the best place to just have a relaxing coastal drive with little traffic, lots of open road, lots of sun and water...and will be listening to that Hawaiian reggae..we may go this summer and I kinda want to do that because it just seems fun. I will most likely rent out a vert too and sacrifice the sunburn for it.

No such place without traffic.

on O'ahu timing is everything but the further out from town you are the better. nice beach cruising on the east side fall the way to Yokohama Bay/Kaena, ditto the North shore from Haleiwa side, as well as around Kaneohe thru Laie to the NS. Beaches with absolutely nobody on them you just have to find off the beaten path. The drive up Tantalus is also a good one, very twisty and scenic as well. Just remember O'ahu is the heaviest populated island with the majority of Hawaii's people plus all the visitors packed in to mostly the south side so it is a mess usually.

-
Big Island has the most wide open traffic lanes in the entire state, again stay out of the big towns like Kona and you'll be rewarded with miles and miles of pristine island and no development whatsoever. I haven't seen a building over 3 stories anywhere nor a freeway or an elevated rail track to nowhere in almost two years now, my town has just one stop light, and I like it like that. Lots of coastal, mountain and inland roads to cruise, you won't make it around in a single day why would you want to. get a jeep and explore.

sample pic, the beach you see flying in to KOA. jeep is best but rental mustang will make it heck I seen 4 door KIAs chance the backroads lol wonderful wonderful and there are other islands to go too.

I've rented two Mustangs in the past two years.

In Tampa last year, we got a black '17 GT vert premium with 20 miles on it. We put 400 miles on it in 3 days. The car was a blast and surprisingly cheap.

In LA this past December, we got an '18 Ecoboost premium coupe. I was impressed with the power, but 10 speeds is way too many for paddle shifting.

These two experiences definitely made me want a Mustang again, so clearly the rental thing is working well for Ford. Too bad they can't make the car a bit smaller to convince me to actually buy one.

cool Maui Raceway Park coming soon
http://www.mrp.org/

too bad the superferry got shooed away.

Maui Raceway Park has been open for a long time. I've been there. They have a dragstrip, autocross, dirt oval, kart track, motocross, tons of stuff. It's not in very good shape though, but it's better than nothing. You can look at it on google maps:

On Maui there is. There aren't many people on the Piilani Highway from my experience. Been there too many times to count. It seems most tourists go back through Hana after visiting the seven pools in the park. I was there last spring and only saw like two other cars.

Man Oahu was the worst place I have ever lived when modding a car. Rebuild sticker and safety inspection woe's abound! Lucky for me I found a group that took me in and called me "Ohana" or I would have been stuck with a car in the garage or would have had to of found a way to send it back to the mainland without a Safety sticker. I miss living in Hawaii but I have to admit, the wide open spaces on the mainland make for better driving than I ever got on the island.

yah O'ahu pretty bad with the "recon" checks if mod anything, nothing like that here. but the winner of worst has got to be Cali with smog and CARB only approved mods. so bad people register their cars out of state to avoid it. that's really bad.

Recon, yup that was the PITA....lol forgot what it was called. Yeah Cali is really bad for just about everything. There is a reason I steer as far away from that place as possible. So sad for a place that is known for, among other things, it's rich car culture.

When I moved to Maui and had to get my 15 PPGT inspected, I found out that some things that are legal in CA, are illegal in HI (like my rear window tint darkness) and some things that are legal in HI are illegal in CA. Both places can be a pain depending on what you want to do. I had to jump through a lot of hoops just to get that car registered on Maui.
