Hi Will,

Thanks for the welcome. Nice examples of Z's down here are few and far between as there's no escape from the sea breeze (read: salt). So, I'll probably end up scouring California for a rust-free car in the future.

I see that you're from Savannah. I hear its nice down there. My wife has been bugging me forever to go on vacation to Savannah. Hmmm....maybe someday we'll take a roadtrip in a Z...

If you drive from hawaii to savannah I'm going to mail you five dollars.

Being as you would have made a Hybrid Boat/Z-car to drive across the ocean in

Joel,

I guess living in Hawaii, you might want some where else to vacation!

Come on Down! We don't have the lush beauty of a volcanic tropical island, but we do have some very beautiful places. We have a nationally recognized Historic district,

Tons of Movies have been filmed here, We have several outrageous world renound restaurants, the largest Art school in the world, and much more! If you get this way, let me know, and I'll see that you get in on some of the local secrets!

Gema, ever heard of ChittyChiityZbang? Now there is an article for HybridZ!

Fedex flys cars around all of the time, if Joel drove to the plane, sat in the Z with the engine running in the plane, and drove on to Savannah, would he not have driven here?

I ask because I drove to Okracoke,N.C., and I had about and hour on a sea-going ferry in that same predicament. The "road" moved relative to its' foundation, but the car didn't move relative to the "road". Maybe different because the DOT does not operate Fedex-even though they do use them!

Will

Aloha,

Well, I'm thinking that once my wife and I move back up from the islands that we'd make a trip somewhere. But, Gema, I'll still take the $5...think of it as going towards the "Help Buy Joel a 240Z" fund.

Thanks for the invite Will. Let me tell you...after you've lived in a Hawaii for a while, a person is ready for something different. I have family here, so its not like I'll never see the place again but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Plus...its just ridiculously expensive. How much are you paying for 92 octane gas in Savannah? Today, I went to Shell and 92 (I put 87 in our Suzuki Aerio) was $2.33 per gallon. That's not the most expensive neighborhood on the island either.

~Joel

Joel, middle grade for the Dodge and the Volvo go for 1.74 a gal, 93 for the Z is 1.94-unless I fill up on Tuesday-1.89.

I have a first cousin who was with the Nal't Park service, the family spent 2 years or so in your neck of the woods-their take was that there wasn't much more beautiful, but the because of the economy and what it did to the locals(real or percieved) it was truely a paradise to visit, but not a paradise to live in.

Will

Aloha,

but the because of the economy and what it did to the locals(real or percieved) it was truely a paradise to visit, but not a paradise to live in.

Will...you hit the nail on its rather unfortunate head.

~Joel

Umm...I know someone in Hawaii with a couple of Zs...

here in CA, you can't get 92. 91 is all we can get and today it hit $2.45 9/10 for a gallon. That is up 12 cents from yesterday. They are predicting $3/gal by July.

What! W have something better than California-I can get 93 at almost any pump in Georgia.

We just hit $2 a gallon for the 93-except on tuesdays!

Will

Is this the way it's suppose to work?

Here I am, in Los Angeles. Point of Entry for 1/3 of the US oil supply. Can't walk a half a mile without bumping into a refinery. I pay $2.83 for high test while it's selling for 1.98 in Caspar Wyoming? How can they charge less after trucking it up and over the rockies? Meanwhile, my car is at the end of the pipe. Sure, taxes and special "anti-smog" formulations, but come on. If your going to do it to me, do ya gotta use sand for lube?

The law of supply and demand is working well for you Victor. More demand in Cali so you pay more than John Wayne in Wyoming!! By the way its $2.10 for premium where I'm at.:classic:

$2.83 ?!?!?!?! They aren't using sand for lube, in my book that constitutes using GRAVEL on you So Cal guys.

But, Hey; at least the Oil Companies aren't OVER CHARGING us for gasoline!:stupid:
