On the Big Island, see if you can get the westy up to the top of
Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa? 13,700' +

There are roads to the top, not sure if you can still drive up there,
but the view will be awesome!

Also, try & drive to South Point, & or check out the active volcanic
eruptions in the Kilauea area.

Kaua'i- don't miss the Kokee Area, Hanalei, etc.

Lots of places you can get stuck, shred tires etc. so make sure your
rental agency isn't gonna keep your credit card for ever if you bring
the vehicles back trashed?
