You are right! The # of Pilots in Hawaii are growing. I live in Kailua and just on my street there is tree Silver Pilots including mine.

I'll bet I saw you then...Kailua is a destination for me, I love the more laidback, less touristy beaches there, and just doing the beautiful perimeter drive. While in Kailua I spotted 2 different silvers back in June. I also saw a sandstone with the sea turtle stickers in the window parked at the Ilikai in Honolulu. I stopped at the dealership where an obviously new salesguy tried to tell me that Pilots are hard to sell, and that the new SUT was going to have no name except SUT. Hmmm. Pflueger Honda I think was the place. Of course nice people, but not too educated. I felt like I was teaching HIM. Thanks to this site we could train the salespeople!
I can't wait to get back over there again. Is there a place that rents out Pilots? I always get stuck in some crappy domestic car.

hope you liked your visit. And yes that Honda dealer is not one of the better ones here on Oahu.

My Pilot has a turtle on the back too but its not sandstone. Pflueger is a rip off. They wanted $5.000 over msrp when I bought it. I told them I couldn't afford to pay their mortgage. As far as I know there is no place to rent Pilots yet. And next time you come over, drop us a line. My wife and I prefer Lanikai beach. Kailua beach is a little too crowded for us.

Glad to see some familiar names still visiting this forum. There were only a handful of Pilots in Hilo when I got mine in Jan 2003, and now there is a flurry of them all over town.

I still have Borg's sticker on mine and hope other Pilot owners notice and visit this forum. A classmate just bought a 2004 SS and I told him about this forum. He fell in love with the Pilot after taking a look at ours (he was a former Exploder owner).

Aloha

Haha, I guess that's a tourist's take on the beaches, since I mostly hung around Hilton and Waikiki beaches. I loved the south eastern shores, but the locals looked less that pleased with tourists being there. When I'm lucky enough to get back over there, we'll have to meet up! A hawaiian meet and greet, what photos we could post

Howzit to the group! Just picked up a 2006 Pilot on 12/31/2005. So far its a killer vehicle on a great deal!

Pilot-Matt · 01-01-2006, 07:37 PM

Congrats and welcome! We'd love to see some pics of your Pilot with that beautiful Hawaiian landscape behind it.

Welcome aboard, HwnCoPilot! Glad to see another islander. Let us know if we can be of any help to you. We have some very smart and helpful people here!

Aloha

HwnCoPilot · 01-04-2006, 04:57 AM

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! As those in Hawaii know, since New Years it has been cloudy and overcast so no photos yet. In fact, I have not even taken it out of the garage since we got it as I didnt want it hit by fireworks and then the wet roads the past few days. Is that too much??? hehe. Oh well, I guess I will have to take it out someday...

Till then it looks great, smells great and Stereo/DVD is a nice toy. I think tomorrow I will go out and find some door speakers to replace the OEM paper cones. Mahalo again for the shout outs!

HwnCoPilot · 01-04-2006, 05:13 AM

I actually took one photo while the sun was out. Here it is...

supo · 01-07-2006, 01:24 AM

Sweet ride, my friend!

HwnCoPilot · 01-07-2006, 07:52 PM

Thanks Supo, until we went shopping and researching the Pilot, we didnt really know much about it. The more we get used to it, the more we dig it. The front steel look grill is an improvement over the previous CRV looking one, this is one factor that really made us take another look at the Pilot. Its a small thing but makes the vehicle much more impressive with that bolder front.
