Well Guys,
I’ve left Oahu, and my Ninja, Accord and 450SL. Thankfully, the 450SL is on its way to Texas to stay at my parents for a bit. Thank God for family with barns to create treasures for the future.
The last photo of it for a while.
I stripped quite a few spare parts off the grey parts car:
Basically the stuff that was expensive if I need to replace it. Though I couldn’t ship the grill. It was just too long. I really wish I could have sent the tires, but that’s just too expensive.
The worst part is that businesses on Oahu are straight vultures or lazy. I had to pay someone to come tow it away when it has four useable tires, the engine and transmission (minus the fuel distributor and cold start module). I know scrap metal has tanked, but the company who came for it were disreputable anyway and rather than scrapping they resell or part stuff out. I guess that’s why they were the only ones willing to come take it though.
Such is life though.
Now I have to find a car here, and eventually a motorcycle. Once the typhoon is completely gone, I’ll start finding some interesting cars here. There’s something small and old under a cover in my apartment building’s parking lot. I can’t wait to see what it is.

Miata small or Fiat 500 small?

The car under the cover? Fiat 500 small rather than Miata small. I’m guessing an old Honda maybe. All I can tell is that it has to be something cool.

I like this. Post photos when you get to see it.

Damn, you’re in Japan now? Now’s a good time to start hoarding JDM-exclusive (or just far cheaper than in America) car parts that you can resell for a profit state-side.

I finally saw this a couple days ago. It had disappeared for a week, and I thought it and it’s owner must have moved, but then it appeared in the lot without it’s cover for one day:
It’s a Honda Life HiDeluxe model. And every bit as cool as I thought it was with it’s tarp/cover hiding it.
