Cars rust like crazy out here. This is true anywhere salt and water are plentiful—but the effect is really dramatic on the Hawaiian islands since nearly everything here has been exposed to saltwater for its entire operational life—even in super-salty places on the mainland many vehicles only spend a fraction of their useful lives under the rusty gun of salt.
The apparent net effect on the island is that anything that rusts is completely gone in a few years—or is at least discarded in a front lawn, like this van. Things live until they start to rust, and they go downhill quickly from there.
