Hi, you may remember me from my series of epic road trips that I took between 2014 and 2017. I have now visited 48 states and I still have Alaska and Hawaii left to go through. I think if I can get a leave of absence approved I can make it to Alaska in the summer. But how do I get my car to Hawaii so I can tell people that I drove through all 50 states with the same car? ---

I did have one scary overnight stay in Little Rock and I was tempted to just drive on through the night. ---

> [@SteveWhite](#): > > You don’t have to get the car to Hawaii or Alaska to **tell** people you through through all 50 states with the same car. Can you bring a piece of your car, maybe even a tire, then you can attach that piece to the rental in Hawaii and now it is “the same car”? ---

One of my friends shipped a car overseas recently. There’s a lot of uncertainty around shipping times, and you’re pretty much going to be waiting until a ship becomes available, and it might take a while, so impossible to plan around it. Queue up and wait ---

That changes things. However, I’m not sure how one can drive “through” HI. Perhaps a better turn of phrasing is that you’ve driven _ **in** _ all 50 states with the same vehicle.

just rent the _same_ type of vehicle in Hawaii, then you’ve driven in all 50 states in the same vehicle. ---

1. Go to Hawaii. 2. Buy a car. 3. Drive it around. 4. Have it shipped to the mainland. 5. Start all over again with your trip. ---

> [@SteveWhite](#): > > You don’t have to get the car to Hawaii or Alaska to **tell** people you through through all 50 states with the same car. But if you tell them you drove through all 50 states, you’ll still need to be able to answer the question that will obviously come up - “how did you get the car to Hawaii?” ---

can’t say you drove in hawaii until you drive on all 8 islands. So you’d have to ship your car an additional 7 times ---

> [@Chalky](#): > > can’t say you drove in hawaii until you drive on all 8 islands Disagree. This is like saying that you have to “drive to each part of a state” to say that you drove in that state. (Case in point: do you require driving on every island found in a state?) > [@Chalky](#): > > So you’d have to ship your car an additional 7 times I thought there were ferries that could take you from one island to another w/o the need to “ship” the vehicle. ---
