Aloha

So today I saw a license plate from Hawaii, and I thought to myself, Hmm.. I dont think I've ever seen a Hawaii license plate before! And then I realized that that was most likely because Hawaii is an island. So I thought to myself, how in the world did this car get here? These are the two scenarios I came up with.
(1) It was brought over on one of those boats that brings cars over oceans.
(2) The person who drives it is from Hawaii, but lives in NY for school, so they bought a car here, but registered it for Hawaii, and therefore got the plates.
But... those were kind of boring explanations.
If you have any other possible scenarios for how this Hawaii car got here, especially scenarios involving the following things-
1. espionage
2. a high speed car chase
3. a one-legged dog
4. Hawaii actually being connected to the US, but the government not wanting us to know because it will decrease the exotic factor
I would very much like to hear them, please post on comments.

Did you ever think that maybe it is one of those cars that is also a boat (seriously these cars exist, I saw one in Detroit), and maybe it just drove over to the mainland? This would also fit in with an espionage scenario, seeing as it sounds James Bond-esq. Maybe it drove/propelled over to stay off the radar of certain gov't agencies. Just a thought.

Perhaps the car isn't really from Hawaii, perhaps it's a Norwegian spy car, and this car was given a random state license plate, but the person who came up with the plate didn't do his fact checking and didn't realize how unlikely it was to see a Hawaiian plate outside of Hawaii. That's how it ended up in Washington... how it got to New York is as follows: The Hawaiin Norwegian Spy was driving through suburban Washington doing reconaissance, when a small french poodle ran into the road. The car ran over the poodle, severing one of its small french legs. A cop driving by witnessed the whole event and tried to pull the Norwegian over. The Norwegian, having no ID, tried to outrun the police. So he drove south through Oregon, and into California. This high speed chase took place over 17 hours until the Norwegian took the top secret government invisible land bridge to Hawaii, which the cop couldn't see. By the time the Norwegian arrived in Hawaii, the cop had put out an APB on the spy. The three legged french poodle, now affectionatly called "Tripod", sitting by a police radio hears the bulletin, and being french, and a dog, had heard rumors of this government invisible land bridge. He packs his suitcase, and flies to Hawaii to hunt down the man who took his leg. The dog snuck up on the Norwegian at the local Hawaiian saloon. The spy knew he was coming, due to the mirrors on his sunglasses. He turned and shot at the dog twice, blowing off two of his three remaining legs. The spy thought he had victory, but what he didn't know is that the dog was in fact, an alien from Pluto, and he called up the mothership to beam him up. When the ship beamed up the dog, it got the Norwegian and his car as well, and took them all to outer space. The dog decided to envoke "Plutonian Justice" which involves a six shooter, a single bullet, a rock, a lamp, two pina coladas, a chess board, and 200lbs of powdered milk. The Norwegian survived, and was allowed to go back to earth. But the aliens who don't believe in daylight savings time, accidentally dropped off the Norwegian and his spy car in Denver. He went to see a proctologist, paranoid about the alien anal probe, and when a small device was found, he was refered to a doctor in New York to remove it. And he drove there.

A cleverly concieved plan Agent Joe. But all for naught, for you forgot the most important part mister fancy pants. Plutonians have a strange allergic reaction to lays, causing him to turn into a large, 1 legged girraffe. This was the only reason the Norwegian accomplished his death-defying escape from death during the "Plutonian Justice."

And by the way, my name...I mean...um...his name is not tripod!! It's Peggy. Get it right loser!
