Ernie,
Welcome to CA. I just got back last night from Oahu visiting family for the week. I don't know how you could take driving your cobra over there.

Typical speed limits were crazy..... 4 lane divided streets & highways with 25mph speed limits that would fluctuate to 35 then 25 then 30 then back to 25 for no reason. I was told that this was for "safety" I then noticed they allow passengers to ride in the bed of pick-up (on the freeway too, which by the way have a maximum of 60MPH) backseat passengers don't have to wear seatbelts and talking on cell phones while driving is legal AND it also seems that only folks from the "mainland" use signals when turning. I was constantly on my brakes to keep the car from speeding over 25 when going down even the slightest hill.

I like the islands but driving is a challenge I didn't enjoy.

Hope to see you in the Bay Area soon,
Mike
