Hey everyone,

The doc is moving to Ohio in late July. Why? "the weather!" lol. j/k

1. State of HI DOE sucks (for my kids).
2. Cost of living sucks.
3. Real Estate prices sucks.
4. Wife's family in Ohio.
5. Better opportunities to mod/tune/track/drag my G in OH.
6. Big 10 Football!

Chalk me up to the "brain drain" phenomena that plagues Hawaii.

I will be finalizing purchase of a house here in OH tomorrow! (I am writing this post from OH) Woohoo!

2800+ sq ft./4BR/2.5BA/1.8 acres/3 car garage/full walkout basement/custom wood deck for $256K.

I seriously don't know how people qualify for $450K+ houses in Hawaii!?!??!

AND.....there is a authorized APS dealer/tuner 35 minutes away from my future residence!!!!! Maybe able to get TT next year....maybe...lol. Gotta get the Titan 4WD first for this winter as I sadly garage my G.

^ OMG, that is a great deal for the house. good luck with the move, and all of your families endeavors. as soon as you get that APS, you post up! also, keep the Hawaii plates PLEASE!

 

hey doc, congrats with the move! what part of OH r-u moving to? i'm assuming it's in the 'burbs; i met someone from cincinatti and they said it wasn't that great (if any of you from cincinatti is reading this, sorry!)... as far as the g, i heard that you could still drive it in snowy weather, just as long as it isn't like a blizzard, right? or you could trade it in for an '05 G35x (all-wheel drive)!

oh, and yeah, DOE schools suck! if you were still going to be on the big isle, you could always send your kids to Hawaii Prepatory Academy - i have friends who grad from there, not quite Punahou/Iolani, but still pretty good from what i hear. anyways, good luck!

 

Congrats Doc, it sounds like a great house... Be sure to provide some pics later!

 

thanks...

household goods shipped out in a 40 foot container yesterday from Hilo (9500 lbs of stuff if you can believe that)......my wife's Highlander fit in there too....

centerburg, oh......35 miles NE of Columbus......

I'll be on the BI until late July though.....

G does not get shipped out until July (IN A SEALED CONTAINER)....


doc

 

That's a nice house Doc...

I love that long driveway too...

 

Wow that's a nice house. Congrats Doc! Have fun on OH!
