So close and yet.......

so far away. I bought a truck on the mainland on Dec. 31st and am currently being tortured. The truck is in Honolulu awaiting shipment to Maui and I am told some cars have been there since Jan 4th!! "Call back next week" The image shows the boat in honolulu after I tracked it across the pacific. THe horror, the HORROR!

Hope you didn't order the 04.5 with the new HP Motor. Apparently, DC has stopped shipment to the Dealerships...there's something wrong with turbo/exhaust....

You may want to look for other posts on it...I think it's being talked about on DodgeTalk.com

Ill try and answer all:
Mabey I can surf it in on the paddle tires...surf has been up on this side of the Island! Hea, hea!
The choices we make.... well diesel is $2.45 US a gallon, Milk is $5.00 a gallon if that gives you any indication. Paradise aint cheap...MEDIAN price of a home in Maui county right now is 550 k. No I do not own, I rent.
There is one Dodge dealership and they would not budge on a price...guess I will have to befriend the Service Dept., though.
We have a 10,000 foot mountain to drive up, that will certainly warm it up. Hey mabey I can use my heater!
Got an 04 HO...guess Ill just have to worry about the rear end
Aloha,
Mike
