Maybe they should have made it a boat, considering the longitude and latitude referenced on the decal:

Nice try Chrysler.

That's funny! Why couldn't they have actually put coordinates to a more specific place? I know my gps can get me within 10 feet of just about anywhere. At the very least ... LAND.

I believe their INTENT was to reference the Hawaiian Islands without getting TOO specific. After all, those
coordinates are NEAR the geographic center of the island chain, are a lot "neater" than throwing in minutes
and seconds and, finally, since no specific Hawaiian location is referenced, one can think of it as Honolulu
or The Big Island or the North Shore or wherever is one's "ideal" Hawaiian location. Some would probably opt
for Honolulu (the yuppies who won't Jeep-wave me) or Hilo (where I imagine LOTS of folks drive Jeeps AND Jeep-wave until their arms feel like they are about to fall off). Personally, I'd probably opt for Little Beach IF
I could afford to live their (it would be the Big Island for me IF I ever decided to do the Hapa Haole thing.
