Hawaii Roads

Hey all,

I'm visiting Maui and I must say, there are some awesome roads here. I desperatly wish I had my AMG with me.

I've checked the exotic car rentals and they don't have any AMGs!

I suppose shipping your car here for a short vacation is ridiculous, but I do wish I had my baby.

An AMG would be a waste on Maui, don't drive fast there, its a small island full of tourists. Probably a bad combo. I will say that I wish I had my Range Rover when I drove the Hana. I also recommend driving up Haleakela.

C63 Coupe Edition 1
Driving on Oahu made me wish I had an S class, no way to drive fast so might as well do it in comfort.

Yes
I thought the same thing in Maui, you're right. Would have loved to have the AMG to blast around some of those awesome roads.

Now the road to Hana is a little too tight to go nuts, especially with other cars. But on some of the larger roads as well as Haleakala...man an AMG would be fun to run around in, with the mountain views and ocean views, perfect weather, great car....ahhhh I miss it there, enjoy it!!!

did Hana and Haleakala. Both were gorgeous. When I said I'd love my AMG here, I also meant that I'd love my AMG here AND not have any other cars around.

Now I'm back in the cold Va...
