Smile From the Bay moving to HAWAII.

Hi!!

I just wanted to pop in. I'm coming from the Bay Area in California and will be moving to Honolulu, HI! I'm kind of lost and scared about the move for my car and is hoping if some people can give me suggestions about the only subaru dealership out there or other shops that I can trust my car with!

Anything will help!

Thanks!!

BTW... i have an 07 wrx.

You'll probably be one of the only ones. I went to Maui on vacation (i know different island) but still, all the impreza's i saw were base model hub cap cheapest ones possible. I saw ONE STI the whole time i was there but tons i mean tons of base model imprezas. no spoiler, splash guards, nothing. You will definatly have a unique car there.

@ iDriveMyi: I know! I've been to Hawaii a couple of times and have only seen a couple of wrx's around! I'm thinking my car would be a little unique there too... but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Ya know, haters and all...

@Dub81: Thanks so much! I'll hit up Ryan right now. ^_^ who knows, I'll probably move back to the bay too!!

You'll be surprised. There are very many of us Subaru enthusiasts in Hawaii. Look at the regional forums, we are the second highest in post count. That is...when we get out of our grass shacks to power up our portable generator for internet.
