    I did some research and I am guessing it got there by boat or plane.

    Woah. Drink out of nose laugh from that one. :D

    I knew it had to be shipped. The military thing makes sense. It was a big white dualie with a big 'barrel riders association' sticker on the door.

    I can honestly say I've never seen a Hawaii plate.

    I've seen a few as well as Alaska plates in GA, but I've lived in an AF town my whole life.

    I saw an Alaskan plate in Key West last spring. That's pretty much as far away from home as you can get in the US.

    So what's it cost to ship a car from Hawaii?

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to just sell your car in Honolulu, fly to the US and then buy the same make and model used car here?

    All I can think of is that some company was paying relocation costs and that's a qualifying expense. A Civic? ....why?


    edit:

    Pricing on shipping cars to Hawaii --

    Our prices for shipping cars to Hawaii, port to port, is $1,195.00. Our mainland ports are San Diego, Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland/San Francisco, and Seattle. You will get the automobile to the origin port and will pick it up when it arrives at the destination port. .... Depending on the time of year, whether your goods are being shipped with the car or separately, and other factors, vehicle shipping could taken between 20 and 45 business days. On occassion, vehicles arrive even sooner than 20 days.

    A Hawaiian license plate in the lower 48 would confuse Vince Young.

    There are tons of Hawaii plates here in Vegas...of course they do refer to Vegas as "The 9th Island".
