howcome Hawaii is always grouped regionally with the rest of the west its so far away from everywhere else

 

Yes but on a world map it is still West!

 

Where else would you group it?

 

some of my fav forums have hawaii by itself

 

Why don't you post another "locals only" sign. That way you could claim your own territory, while not being grouped in with everyone else, yet still collect federal subsidies and deny access to the very folks helping to fund it?

suck em up brah

 

I think in order to get your own regional area you have to show massive activity by your group alone, which the Hawaii people aren't doing on RX8Club.com.

-hS

 

Oh Razzie...

Why is it always you that has to be an obnoxious ***? We (the military) took the islands. They do not want to "claim" their own territory. They want it back, dumbass. XOXOXO

 

oh pappy...

I was not referring to statehood or territory in a geographical OR historical sense. I was referring to the "Locals Only" signs I've seen there before at beachside State Parks. Although it's obvious that reading comprehension is not your forte, I'm sure you're versed with the term F.O.A.D.

Feel free to email me if you wish to discuss this further, so as to not trash this board with any more worthless piddle.

Being called a dumbass by a ******** really doesn't flip my skirt. Could you rethink your assessment and try again?

 

SCSI
I appologize for my initial reply. It was uncalled for.

I was stationed in Hawaii for 3 years one time. During the last week we were there, I took my family to a beachside State Park. Even though the beach was deserted, we were asked to leave by a State Park ranger. He told us it was a "locals only" beach. I guess I'm still a little bitter from that experience.

 

sorry to hear man, id be pissed too if that happened to me

 

Having lived in Hawaii AND Alaska previously, I still get pissed at every national news channel for not showign the weather in EITHER of the two states. It's BS!

On a sportbike forum I used to frequent, they had an AK/HI/other regional group. Made sense, since there weren't a whole lot of us. I don't like getting overridden with all the CA posts. In the odd chance that someone from HI posts here, it disappears from the first screen within a few hours sometimes.

Raz, I understand your bitterness. I used to get a kick out of the "locals" that always made a hugh deal out of being local. Most of them were born there, but their families were of something other than native Hawaiian decent. Guess what, I had a Honolulu address. That makes me local, DAMNIT! I'd love to see what would happen if the military pulled out of Hawaii completely. The place would fall out monitarily. Then it'd be more overrun with MORE tourists that can't drive and read a map at the same time.

Nice place to visit, but I'd NEVER do another 3yr tour there.

 

True blooded Hawaiians make up for less than 3% of the total Hawaiian island population, with most of them living on the Big Island, yet my family was asked to leave a STATE PARK no less, by a ranger. I had absolutely nothing against the Hawaiian diverse culture, as many of my friends were "locals." I was more bitter against a beuacracy that would allow the promotion of demographic prejudice.

The beach was vacant.

 

Hmmm... that does make sense now that I think about it. I change my vote for pro- HI/AK subforum!!!

-hS

 

Works for me....

I nominate you for MOD.


...wait.....wrong thread.....nevermind

 

im japanese and chinese btw...no hawaiian blood in me (i dont think? o_O) ... i just live here but i like it :P

 

SCSI. I bought my 8 at Cutter in Waipahu. Where'd you get yours? Just curious.

 

haha honestly, i dont have one yet =X im purchasing one used, the current owners are having a few things fixed at the dealer, and have ordered new tires, so they said when the tires come in and are installed, they give me a call and we'll head on over to the bank =) should be a week or less, i cant wait! they purchased it from JN on nimitz

 

Make sure you post pictures when you get her. Kole Kole Pass would make a sweet backgorund. Or maybe Valley of the Temples....

latah brah

 

hahaha ill take pics =) i cant wait, they said i can pick it up on wednesday, thats so damn far from now!

 

Okay, Bra... Wednesday was so far back now. Where's da pics?!? Makakilo makes for some good beach pics. Or up Tantalus. Doesn't really matter; everything there makes a good backdrop.

 

if you're looking to get an 8 on oahu, i HIGHLY recommend cutter ala moana. i bought my first used rx8 from cutter waipahu, and i have my current 06 rx8 which i got from cutter ala moana. the guys at ala moana are way better and the overall expierience was much more satisfying. just food for thought...ala moana's selection is WAY better too!!!

 

I just spent a week on Kauai, and saw two RX-8s - a forest green one on the north side of the island, on Sunday morning, and a white one on Sunday afternoon between Koloa and Poipu on Poipu beach road.

And all I could think the entire time I was there was "damn, I wish I had my -8 and where are the -8 owners on this island?

Is there a Mazda store on Kauai? If so, I'd guess it's in Lihue - that seemed to be where the car dealerships were located.
