You've got pickup trucks with CDs, leather seats and air conditioning, four-door, and they can sit five or six comfortably.

The preliminary plan ... was to add four to five rows in those door areas, about 60 to 70 seats in each corner. We've got to see about the viability of that. We still have to have an 8-foot clearance for fans to walk out and it has to be approved by the fire marshal.

The new one is much more comfy. It has overall interior quietness, two sunroofs, leather seats, six airbags. In a nutshell, it makes a complete mockery of the old Mini. For the price, it is really a refined car.

We'll serve Rockford with a 150-seat, MD-80 aircraft, with leather seats.

I say if we got a cot and air conditioning, go for it. But that's me. If I had my way we'd be able to do them in a week.

It is simply too unsafe to let any of our keiki ride in the back of pickup trucks. We have to protect them. It breaks my heart to see teenagers in the ER after accidents like the one we experienced this past weekend in Kona.
