Here's my $250 Miata. It has hail damage and had a spun bearing. This pic is just after cleaning it. It belonged to a coworker who really wanted to get rid of it. Now its my daily driver.

- Mayor Wright Housing (Palama/Kalihi neighborhood of Honolulu)
- Kuhio Park Terrance (aka KPT) (Kalihi, Honolulu)
- Palolo Valley Homes (Palolo, Honolulu)
- Kamehameha IV Housing (Kalihi, Honolulu).
Notable high concentrations of Section 8 buildings:
- Aniani St. (western side of Waipahu)
- Pupu Streets (western side of Waipahu)
- Ohai Street (Wahiawa)
Hawaii is not unlike any other city in the world, it has good spots and bad spots all the same. Gasoline prices there are 47 cents higher than KC's current prices and I've read a gallon of Milk can be lot as 5$ and high as 9$.
Visit? Hell yeah. Living? I'll pass.. Too many ****** people for me anyway.
Must've bought this from a honda owner with those wheels..
Really though? $250 for an NB? What the ****...

Where's the ****** battery? This requires removing the passenger side wheel, inner wheel, and nearly the fender to replace. The BATTERY......I always liked the 300M.. Except that its a Chrysler and the wrong wheels are powered... At least they put the engine in the correct direction...
Took me nearly 3 hours to replace the alternator on my Protege.. Had to damn near pull the rack to get the old one pulled out of the engine bay and the new slipped in.. Don't think they ever intended that to be done with the engine installed..

A BMW:
and a WTF this is:
Steam tractor:
And regarding Hawaii, "Haole crap go home!" is what I remember most. And the thugs in Waianae. And everywhere else.

Upper and middle intake manifold must be removed and coolant must be drained to change spark plugs because they are located inboard of the valve covers in the middle of the vee next to intake ports. *********** at Mitsubishi probably giggled like schoolgirls when they drew this one up.

The 4-cyl Ford Ranger pickup was similar. Had to pull the intake manifold to get at the plugs.
As a general rule, this sort of thinking has generally been a distinguishing characteristic between American-designed vehicles and Japanese-designed vehicles. There are exceptions, obviously, but for the most part, the Americans seem to design the layout of components and fasteners to maximize ease-of-assembly on the production line, often sacrificing serviceability to do so.
The Japanese, by contrast, seem to at least acknowledge that at some point in the future it will be necessary for a mechanic to service the vehicle, and thus they provide affordances to maximize the efficiency of design-basis service tasks.

Apparently, KPBS has a reported named Jose Jiménez. Anyone familiar with the Mercury / Gemini / Apollo era of US spaceflight should recognize this name.
