Went for a cruise up my favorite mountain road with some company this time:

my old car didn't come up:

On the way down the EVO took a little detour and got down and dirty rally style in a recently cleared canefield. :D The only problem was that I went a different route and didn't get a chance to get any pictures of the fun.

Finally side by side pics that show how much better looking the 8 is than the EVO. I cant stand that ugly econo looking car. Makes me want to throw-up! (But it sure is Fast!)

looks cool - but tell your friend in the EVO to lose the pink decals.

I completely agree about the decals. What he should have done is thrown the money into getting a set of MR or Evo 7 tails to get rid of the bling bling Altezzas the car comes with. As a former Evo (well two of them actually), I think your RX8 looks much hotter - just don't try to race the Evo. :D

looks like a fun cruise, the vette looks hot, nice wheels

The Evo with the stickers beats that STi with the ralley light protuberances on the hood in the butt-ugly fast car olympics.

cool pix, nice cars, i love kauai....too bad you can't drive really fast there...or can you...

the stickers on the evo look red to me

nice pics

nice pics

I think you're right, but they're still ugly.

they look more fuchsia to me, maybe with a touch of rose and a whole lot of FUGLY!

those stickers remind of creaig liebermans old skyline gtr...

The 8 looks like A GIANT compared to the evo. Check pics 2 & 3.

Beauty and the Beast

I'll take the vette..what wheels are those?

very nice pics

The Evo is actually the only one on the island as far as I know. I rode up in it one time and I was really impressed how it just stuck to the road in the turns. The stock Recaros are really nice too. (I'm a big fan of Evos, but it didn't quite fit into my new car criteria.) Hopefully next time we can get some video footage too. The C5 rims are actually just stocks painted black. It looks pretty evil like that. It also has a wicked sounding exhaust.

is that near wamaia (spelling?) canyon?

why those decal cuts off on the handles? that looks really ghey, i just hate cars with 2 door handles........
the only sticker i like is the support our troops sticker.

awww.....lok they can play nice together!

the decals on the evo scared me.....scared me a lot.....wow rave person to have pink on blue....all i can say is ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. but to each his/her own.

how much hp do the decals add ?

Horsepower or Hideous Points?

I tried to rent a fast car when I was in Kauai last May on my honeymoon because I knew there were tons of twisty roads like that...but they only had a Cavalier. It barely made it up steep hills. Awesome pics though. If I could bring my white Evo out there it'd be covered in red clay from all the driving I would do.

Do you ever see a red SRT-4 on the island? I saw one in the McDonalds parking lot down in Kapaa and talked to the owner for a few minutes. He said he's seen a million Neon rentals but never another SRT-4 on Kauai.

Amazing pics! I like the picture taken from above some how... were you on a hill? That looks like a NICE road there... it's got some turns in it, and looks quite empty. We have nothing like that here in Miami :(

jgoldstein2000: yup, "Waimea Canyon Drive" is the official name of the road

Steiner: I think I may have seen the Srt-4 before, I can't recall seeing many of those either. Most guys around here are still into their hondas and stuff. If you do want to rent a fast car (and you have a lot of cash) there is a place in Kapaa where you can rent a Viper. Well, I think you still can rent it, I know someone crashed it once. I think they might have a C5 also. Otherwise, the closest you can get is a yellow convertible v6 mustang.

One important tip to anyone who happens to visit Kauai and go up this road: if you want to see the view, PULL OFF THE ROAD at a designated lookout area. Theres too many cars that stop in the middle of the road in very dangerous places.

As far as the stickers on the Evo, well, its whats underneath them that counts. :rolleyes:

Does he pull the stickers off at the stoplights?

Man am I glad your going to get new rims.
