237. Cars that everywhere else in the world produce enough aerodynamic down force to keep them in contact with an inverted road surface slide around like on glass-smooth ice in Hawaii.

238. Big-block V8s sound just like four cylinders.

239. Driving close to the center line is an invitation for oncoming traffic to swerve to hit you.

240. Grassy mountains can be smoother than paved roads.

246. Really fast vehicles spin the needles on their speedometers like the wheel on "Wheel of Fortune".

247. It is impossible to choose the transmission for your car. (control options excluded. I'm talking how you can only get some cars with flappy paddles when they are also offered with a H-gate style shifter. or only auto transmissions when they are also offered with H-gate.)

248. In Hawaii, cars with high mileage sell for more than cars with low mileage.
