$250 for both? Put them together and you have half of a Jeep.

Too bad Banana Republic isn't cool anymore, those would have been perfect store props.

One looks really weird. It has doors and really odd front fenders. Some license built not-really-a-Jeep?

Looks like after serving it's time it might have been "Civillianized."

I do, but it's the wrong island.

Admittedly, but it'll be another $600-$800 inter-island shipping, plus four tow fees (two in Maui and two in Oahu) so that would be over a grand for both, and all my money (pitiful amount that it is) is invested in my motorcycles right now.

If I bought these I would be tacitly admitting my desire for an immediate divorce as that is what my wife would do to me when she found out about it.

Haha, If I had a truck and lived in Hawaii I'd pick both of them up in a heartbeat and try a ground up restoration.

Kauai here. Same. Normal people don't get 2500 mi for mainland shipping or 100 mi for interisland sometimes.

Are you saying normal people don't live out here on these islands that are the farthest you can get from a continental land mass with nothing but ocean for thousands of miles? I may resemble that remark.

Kauai, I'm impressed. It takes a relaxed and patient person to be a car lover and still have a driver's license there. Or else I have a small speeding problem.

Normal car people don't live here. Trust me. You have to understand that "ice" isn't drugs, but a super-fine clay that even slightly wet, will NOT give you traction, or the regular fine red clay that if you aren't watching vectors, will simply let you drift off sideways to the track, no matter your wheels, without any energy input - unless of course you saw it ahead of time and developed your inertia beforehand.

And the asphalt has ground up glass in it (according to one tire store.. and the contractor that did it) so the roads have more endurance, but also more aggression on tires.

Anyway - I don't drive fast any more, any ways. Now I get dressed up on Sunday's, load the car with the family and then look for an opportunity to come to a full stop to let other's in from the side. It's a local thing.

LOL! The funny thing is when they just stare at you for waving them in. That doesn't happen so much in Honolulu (comparatively speaking). It was frequent on the Big Island though.

*whispers* I used to fly to big island, upgrade my rental car and then fly over the saddle road. I'm bad.
