Where did you find a straight road in Hawaii that you can go that fast on? We spent a week in Maui a few years ago and I don't remember any roads with s straight away then 1/4 mile.

thats still speeding isnt it? my math skills are less than stellar

That is just a little over 80mph. Speed limit on I-10 is 80 so you really weren't speeding, just gauge error.

Yea, I declined a job on Maui because I never could get over 45mph and Kauai was almost the same. Driving in Honolulu was as bad as driving in El Paso or Tucson.

Before I get "LOCKED" again; I was running out of road as the cars that were "far" ahead of me were now soon to be in front of me. Besides at the speed (note: I'm not mentioning how fast I was going in this post...) I was going my butt was starting to grip the seat.

Ahhhh....... to be alive and on the edge!

Oahu - H-3 "Interstate". Everyone uses it to test their ride. Also H-1 going out to Waianae and H-2 going out to Mililani. Just don't get caught. With the new 30 mph over the limit or exceeding 80 mph anywhere you are in a heap of big time trouble. 99% of the time I set my cruise control at 5 mph over the limit and enjoy the ride.
