Mustangs in Maui

[SF-2015 GT]

Went there in July...it looked like an S550 convention. 3-4 parked end-to-end on the street, many more in the parking lots. Great mix of cars that made me miss mine. Tried to get one, no dice.

To tell you the truth that was one of the experiences that kinda sold me on the S550.

I just got married to my lovely wife so we went to Maui (why not?). I rented a ecoboost convertible which was actually pretty cool. Shortly thereafter
I went to SEMA '15 and had a ridiculously good night at the tables. I ended up with a pocketful of winnings that paid for my trip, a VERY nice dinner
where I told my wife that I'm gonna trade in my 5 month old Acura TLX (I've had several Acuras) to buy a S550 and a down payment.

Fresh of the lot:


I'm glad I got that rental car...

Ive lived on Maui since 88 and yeah the rental stangs are out of control. First thing I did when I bought mine was to change it up so it doesnt look like a rental. haha

Most rentals are not GTs but they do rent those as well. We have quite a nice group of mustang owners here with plenty of Shelbys and blown GTs. We dont have the mainland freeways but we do have a track and mustangs rule it more than any other brand in all classes.

Well damn If I had known there was a track....Rental company would have castrated me on the bill. Good thing I got the Mazda? :shrug:

Oh, how do you live with putting your annual inspection sticker on the bumper? That would piss me off having that crap on my paint.
I did see a light blue '65-'66 convertible pass by me on 30 near Papawai Point and also saw a newer white/blue Shelby on 30.

Visitors race rental cars all the time it's quite common. As far as the inspection sticker I have a plate that attaches to the lower bumper I would never stick that sticker on my actual paint.

Where's the track there?

 

[808muscle]

Halfway between kihei and kahului. It's an old WW2 runway. Has been a racetrack since the 60s. Maui loves drag racing. We get a lot of community support.

Makes sense-- from what I remember that was about the only large area of flat land around there.

Is there a place where you guys meet up? I moved to Maui about 6 months ago - living in Kihei now.

Check the FB page for Maui mustangs. Now and then somebody posts up there. All my friends are racers so we are at the track every time it's open.
