why would anyone wanna check out a car when on vacation.

it's paradise, you got better things to do.

 

I am commited to getting a tan.

 

Why don't you two head up to the top of Daimond Head?
Then after that go to Kapahulu's Rainbow Drive-inn for some plate lunch.

 

Just to add some info to the above post. Diamond head has some great views at the very top. But not recommended if you haven't exercised in awhile, there are like 100 continous somewhat steep stair steps at the top. I've seen some older tourists come all the way there not realizing that there was stairs at the top. You'll see a few locals run up the trail and back down for exercise. If you're hungry afterwards, Ono's has great food on kapahulu, so does Yama's seafood on Young st., both small places, yama's is more takeout but has great poke and plate lunches. Rainbows is an old classic, chicken cutlet plate with gravy all over, 2 scoops rice, mac salad.... If you're there, might as well stop by Leonards and get some malasadas, or Waiola shave ice, also a Sam Choy's around there too and Sekiya's in kaimuki, not far at all but great saimin. All good eats.

 

+1 on waiola shave ice, best shave ice on the island. screw matsumotos.

 

Matsumoto's was amazing, we didn't hit all of the other ice places, but it crushed the others that we did try.

I saw over a dozen modded Z's, including an FI blue Z on Hickam, a white Z with the RMEMBR lic plate, and a horible pair of Z's that I won't describe.....

There were some terrific 240's and old VW's that were modded very well. Certainly a better representaion than NJ typically shows.

 

haha well all that counts is that u you liked it. Certainly hope you had a good time while you were in town.

 

10 days was a little long, especially with the wife constantly in tow.

The lesbians were a nice bonus. A couple of nice Duo / Trio showing affection in public in bikkini's is a worthwhile sight to see.

It may take a few days to scrub the image of the tranny hookers out of our minds. Not what I had expected to see in china-town.

We did most of the tourist stuff.

Dinner cruise, Atlantis sub, para sail, trip to Big Island and volcano area, Poly culture center. We put on about 1k on the rental and walked endlessly.

There was no good pizza, or italian food for that matter.

 

The worst Z i've seen in hawaii was at the navy exchange and commisary parking lot. It was that weird K-office kit that had a weird long nose like a carp mouth opening and sides and back like an old celica. It was fugly....

 

What color was it?

 

it was white. You should have just went to buca di beppo's for some italian.

 

I grew up there, lots to do! for a hauoli stay away from sandy beach & makapuu....you will break your neck! go to Haleiwa get some Matsumoto's shaved ice & get a Kuaina hamburger. Stay away from Ala Moana shopping center, if you have to ask how much you cant afford it! Haunauma bay isnt what it used to be when i was a kid in cub scouts camping there, it sucks now! I would spend all my time on the north short at pipeline watching the waves & checking out the chicks

 

did u swing by GIOVANNI SHRIMP TRUCK? on the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center? that's a must...

and damn... i miss some DAVE's Ice Cream

 

We did the shopping center, didn't buy anything but ice cream. Haunauma bay was closed the day we wanted to go , tuesday, so we didn't end up going.

We did go and find a few things reccomended here, like the Matsumoto's. Zippy's, Big Kahuna Pizza. You guys need an Olive Garden badly, they have the ads on TV there but no damn place to get it.

 

Love those shrimp trucks LOL!

 

I think me and the wife saw it, she didn't know it was a Z till I told her. Mother of pearl white, in Wikiki. It didn't stand out as the most unfortunate Z though. That tittle belonged to a white Z with black tinted headlight covers and some bronze 5 spoke rims. I may regret mentioning it. Sorry in advance.

There was also a black Z with some tailights fresh off the rice truck and an airplane wing on the back.

On the good side, there was a nice Z at schofield barracks (heck of a mountain drive road they have to get there) and some nice subtle modded rides. There was red with a black CF hood and Blue with chrome rims and black CF hood.

 

I don't eat sea food.

 

Did you at least check out Waianae and the local mokes?

 

is Wainanae a town ? most of the time we didn't know where we were, just drove around a lot, or used my GPS to find specific things. Half the names there are almost unpronouncable on the first try so I didn't pay much attention to names. We spent a bunch of time on the north shore while we stayed in Wamilano or wherever Bellows AFS is, than we moved to wakiki and spent most time there and china-town. Like I said, I drove over 1000 miles on that island, we took the roads around till they ended, up in the hills, and across....

I didn't see the girl from Lost

 

just stay way from Waipahu or you'll see an old fut driving a white Z with gold rims and a super ugly front lip.
