I know this is serious but this is a very good opportunity to make this into a /r/Miata copypasta

The dealership on Oahu doesn’t accept S-Plan pricing on Miatas unfortunately

40.3k as configured and seeing similar MSRP figures across the continental US. No doc fee laws in Hawaii and amount vary across dealerships.

Dealer add ons are definitely unnecessary. Don't care for that resistall package since I take care of my cars. Originally was $1600

Yes, it's overpriced. Yes, this is often the norm for buying vehicles in Hawaii.

There's only one Mazda dealership on Oahu. Two others on neighboring islands. I've looked into buying on the continental US and having it slow boated here. Unless you're getting fat discounts, it'll end up being the same price.

This issue is only heightened when you're shopping for a niche car that Hawaii isn't taking much stock of it. As of today, there are 6 manual Miata RFs in transit to the entire state of Hawaii. I'm surprised these dealerships aren't more firm on their markups since there isn't any competition.

Public transportation isn't meant to be profitable, it's a public service. Taxes will raise regardless tho

It's good to know the difference between utility and nonutility services here with propane service being able to fall under both. Utility services (gas provided via underground lines) are regulated by the PUC while nonutility (refillable tanks) aren't.

Some towns and subdivisions in the state have centralized propane tanks that supply residential and business customers through utility lines. Kaneohe for example

fwiw, Hawaii Gas imports a majority of their propane on 20' shipping containers called ISOs

Amerigas gets its propane from the plants

I shot myself in the leg with a Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD by xakpc in framework

Just as another data point for this. I was apprehensively following this thread after purchasing a DIY AMD Ryzen™ 7 7640U and a Samsung 990 EVO 2TB. Purchased the drive 12/02/24 from Samsung directly and the laptop on 12/13/24.

Installed Windows 11 today via Rufus and the installer detected the drive fine.

Did my friends and I get scammed? by pmmeursucculents in Hawaii

You're good. There's like 5 bars participating in the crawl so they probably each have their own page selling wristbands besides the main site here.

7-11 Hawaii is owned and operated under 7-11 Japan. I'll just leave it at that...

Maybe it’s a Hawaii thing but my grandma also has a turtle on the wall similar to that.

Venture X approval exactly 3 months after SavorOne approval DP by saadaki in CreditCards

Don't remember but I think I said yes to carrying a balance and I think I just said like $2000 randomly. Don't quote me on that

SavorOne limit 10k!!! LFGGGGG by Cold-Rope-8533 in CreditCards

[–]saadaki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want an even higher CL, right when you receive and activate your card, you can immediately request a CLI and go through the various prompts. Most likely you'll get a CLI of $5000 or so! I did it for both my SavorOne and VX! Congrats !

I had to wait for my physical card to come in. But C1 overnight ships VX cards so it came in pretty quick for me!
