During the summer of 1967, Dan and Mayone bought a car: a used green Chevy Corvair. After their July wedding and finishing summer jobs in Waikiki they loaded the Corvair with everything they owned and headed out to the North Shore to a new job for Mayone teaching elementary school at Ka'a'awa School and back to university studies for Dan at CCH.

A few months later a cousin borrowed the Corvair and wrecked it on the Pali Highway going to Honolulu. Dan and Mayone then, coincidentally, took over payments on a red Corvair of a student who was returning to the mainland. This red Corvair was the family car when both Shannon and 'Ofa were born. The car later fell into disrepair (and a victim to island rust!) over the next few years and, of course, the family graduated to a bigger, more practical car!
