gdogg: I just bought a house in Keaau recently.
Lookin forward to that cruise up Mauna Kea sometime!
Last time I drove to Waikoloa (about 3 weeks ago), I was hopping I'd see the skyline. No luck - I was looking forward to it. Such a nice car.

Just a few months ago. Sounds like my place is pretty close to yours. I'm between Kaloli and Paradise. Shower Drive is a great spot -- I'm sure you can get a buyer quick. There were a few houses and properties nearby me when I made my purchase and now there are only 1 or 2 left. People are buying quick here because the property value is jumping up fast.
Someone stopped by my place today in a white STi. I never met the guy before, but he wanted to introduce himself and let me know that there was a WRX/STi cruise today. Unfortunately I already had family plans for the holiday. But it sounded fun. They all met up by the Walmart parking lot in Hilo.

Holy s*it, that drive up to Mauna Kea is KILLER to your car .. LOL
I went there last year and took a rental up there, (shhh...) omg the little Oldsmobile Alero didn't know what hit it. It kept switching from almost redlining 1st, to 2nd and back down because it couldn't pull anymore. We had a full car. I felt sorry for it.
On the way up, its your engine. On the way down, its your brakes I wonder if an agressive pad compound would work wonders on the way down?
Otherwise, when you get up there, its wonderful. I love it. Sometimes I wish it was that cold at our house .. You Big Islanders have some nice places to cruise..
