RAlly_DatoB210 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Well I'm back on ratsun but all out of dato's. Sold off everything and moved to Maui now we are living in a van. It's not too bad but now I'm looking for a way to make some cash and get a better living situation. First any Maui ratsuners? I couldn't seem to find anyone except a couple oahu guys. Second anyone have any suggestions on what the next move should be? It's hard to get a job without a house but hard to get a house without a job. We saved up enough to float on for a few months but I don't want to be scraping the barrel dry ya know? Anyone have any similar experience or advice? Quote Link to comment

RAlly_DatoB210 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Read about Maui datsuns here in previous Ratsun topics: Maui Style 720 Pickups Maui Yeah... Lol it's free an waking up to waves has been pretty chill. Showers are cold but the days hot so I'm pretty set on living here. I've seen a few 620s and 720s and one b210 hatch and was seeing who was out this way. Gas and everything food related it's costing less than $5 a day for both my girlfriend and I to live here. Haha it's pretty great but the lack of incoming funds has her worried and she wants to be able to afford to visit family. Aside from selling coke and prostitution what options are out there? Recycling is huge and it seems like NOBODY scraps metal. There is metal stuff EVERYWHERE Old dead cars and fridges etc line the roads upcountry I'm probably going to see what can be made scrapping but I'm seeing what real jobs could help get us a little more solid here.

RAlly_DatoB210 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 The 620 was the one I saw And there is a smashed front 720 in one of the parks we sleep at always rolls in at night too but haven't approached the guy. Quote Link to comment

Rhapakatui Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I've always said that if I were going to be homeless, I'd go somewhere nice with lots of tourism. If you play an instrument, panhandling could get you started towards more stability. Quote Link to comment

Str8_69 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 A buddy of mine did this a few years back, and asked me the same question. Having never actually trying to live there myself the only advice I could give him was to not stay until he was completely broke, because it's a long swim back to the mainland. He thanked me for that tidbit when he got back. Were it me, I'd be trying to get a job with a dive charter, or in-water boat repair, ect. If you do dive, or at least snorkel, try to get out to Molokini crater whatever you do, it is unbelievable, especially in Feb-March when the whales are in... Good luck man, I'm jealous.

I got friends in the hotels too. Hit me up and I'll see what I can do Im about sixteen credits shy of my bachelors in engineering and environmental science and will have the degree by the end of spring. I have a little construction experience and a good design and build portfolio of some of the projects I've worked on. I do dive and any job in the ocean would kick ass I'm just trying to get set up. I scrounged up about 4k total but can realistically only spend about 2k. My girlfriend was crazy enough to join me and we are going to find a rental on the island in the next few days but I'm really trying to line up work. Wish they paid me to skate because I suck at music. I'll try to get pictures uploaded by wifi is scattered between Starbucks and mcfonalds. If anyone knows anything about a work lead I would really appreciate it. Thanks for the tip on not going dead broke too from whoever said it. that's an important one haha If anyone has a contact info on people here I'll do about any job. And Paia is a dirty hippy shithole lol it's like a bunch of rich organic wannabes who drive BMWs and Audis but like to dress like they love trees haha. Quote Link to comment
