Thanks. Did you know there are about 1.25 Million cars in Hawaii. Not sure how many are classic cars. Sounds like a lot for a small group of islands.
And every year about 5000 cars are abandoned. Owners don't want to pay to ship them back to the mainland. (Probably, many have liens on them!)
The salty environment (rain and sea spray) are rough on cars there. Gas (like everything else) is very expensive as it has to be shipped in from the mainland.
Electricity is provided largely by oil and gas fired generators and must be imported.
They're saying electric lines sparked the flames. When I was with SCE&G, I never heard of electric lines starting a fire.
