Unless you are the rare Puna resident who lives and drives on all paved roads expect to be steadily bled of cash for car repairs (major and minor) due to the poor condition of most subdivision roads. Tires, shocks, and struts all take a beating, and all those cheap little tiny plastic parts seem to just shake loose and fall off! I thought the gravel road I grew up on was bad, but Puna has "roads" that barely qualify for the label.
Beware other drivers too, between us my husband and I got hit three different times in our first year here: 2 careless residents rear ended each of us, and a thoroughly lost and confused tourist slammed into my car by Verna's in Hilo. The woman who rear ended me got out of her car and just screamed at me because I didn't run the red light!
