So who is going to Hot Import Nights at the Chantilly expo center this weekend?

 

IS this Saturday night??

 

Yeah 5pm to 12am Saturday.

 

not hitting that one although i thought about it..ill be in HIN boston the week after.

 

let me see what the girl wants to do? you bringing your girl or just you? How much are tix?

 

i may make it. there are several things happening this weekend, and one of my friends wants to go to it. so we may make a surprise visit.

 

Sounds good to me man. I might come down w/ my G buddy

 

Yeah my girl is coming this time. Tickets were 25 bucks each, I bought them off the website. I've never been but I heard it really good. I've pretty much only been to Nopi and other smaller car shows.

 

I'll be there! I've been every year the last few years, and I wouldn't miss it for the world! Last year I didn't get to drive there b/c my 2nd gen RX-7 was down (I was installing a new clutch, brake master cylinder, starter solenoid and rear tires on it at the time), so im psyched about actually driving my own car there this year! Already bought my ticket, and unlike Badassz, my girl WON'T be going this year, b/c I HATE tagalongs, especially when you were like me last year, directly against the stage during the dance off w/ girls wearing basically nothing, and having a bickering girlfriend next to you who wants to hit the potty, lol.

 

My girl knows better, I'm there for the car's and the hot chicks, I don't put up with the usual girlfriend bickering and such things, if she's gotta go potty I will tell her to go have fun, I'll be here staring at the hotties. **** at Nopi I had her hold my place at the front of the stage for the bikini contest cause I got bored of waiting around. I think the reason Stouffer asked if my girl was going was so that his girl would have someone to hang out with. My girl will also be my picture taker for me and the models. Will there be drinking there? I may need to teach her to drive a stick so she can drive home. She does ok until she has to start off from a hill. My poor clutch and starter.

 

i went to this or something like it last year. the stuff inside is pretty cool, the kids that actually show up are not. it was nothing but 16 and 17 year old kids rev'ing their fart cannon'd NA 4 bangers.

 

lol, um.......that def wasn't a HIN event, or anything even like it. HIN is a massive organized event with tons of vendors, professional entertainers (last year Trick Daddy rapped at DC's HIN), two buildings full of fully built show cars, lots of models, lots of music, lots of free stuff, bikini contests, dance contests.........etc etc. No 16-17 year olds with primered Civics sporting universal mufflers and euro tailights here.........rather, these are fully built show cars (id hope a 16 year old dosent have an S2000 w/ $30,000 dumped into it worth of mods!!!), and all the cars are off the entire event and have their battery cables dissconnected. Now the parking area is another story.......imagine the street racing scene in FATF........but multiply the amount of cars by like 1,000, lol. I'm suprised your not familiar with HIN........Modified, Super Street, Eurotuner, Honda Tuning, Import Tuner, HCI, Sport Compact car.........pretty much all of them do coverage on these events.

 

^^ thats why HIN shows are my favorite. i love going to them because there is more to do then just stand around.

Hot import nights have been going on forever. ive been attending for about 5 yrs and always have a good time. def. worth going to at least one.

 

i was referring to the kids outside in said F&F reference. i went to one of them and yeah, it was nice shat inside like i said. it's just going back outside.... if you have anything even remotely modded they can all take you or they're about to get the same thing +1UP!

then the constant buzzing.... i'm probably gonna be there. going with my stepbrother and a buddy. look for one of the only mustangs there. it'll say OH SHAT on it

 

Just got back right now. I saw your White SS/na. LOL, the whole time i was walking around I saw a total of 5 Balts, 3 SS/SC, 1 SS/na, 1 LT. Hah I was thinking about taking one of the attennas off of the white cobalt, but i realized it was the stocker. Dont worry, I would have bragged on here and then met up somewhere and brought it back. Overall it was a sick show. Lot of cars. Even the ones outside were really nice

 

i drove by there around 7'ish and alls i really saw were body kitted celicas with black rims and a couple evos. i was going to go in, but there was absolutely nowhere to park. they had people outside "directing" traffic. which basically meant telling you to screw off, the lot is full, keep going to the next turn. i guess all the nice cars were inside or already parked.

 

how is that all you saw???? For gods sake, not only was the primary parking lot full, but so was the field next to the buildings, and the Taco Bell, Chick Fillet, BK, Mc Donalds and Wendys parking lot were all FULL to the rim with tuner cars. Plenty of everything......RX-8s, Integras, Civics, 240SXs, RX-7s, Supras, RSXs, Celicas, TCs, GTIs, STis, EVOs, Cavaliers, Focus's, Eclipses, Fits, xAs, xBs, 350Zs, G35s............you name it, there was probally more than a handful of modded out versions. I rolled 8 deep with my car club + two other friends......we alone had a WRX, an STi, two Focus's, an Eclipse, an xA, a GTI and of course my SS. Theres plenty of diversity just in our group, lol. Man, you must have driven through with a blindfold, lol.

I even took several pisc of cars in the parking lot, b/c some of the cars outside were just as hot if not hotter than some of the cars inside.

My car pick of the show.......either that sick 200SX with the SR20DET, Volks, full cage, etc........the silver STi behind PlaysWitCars's SS........maybe the black on black R34 Skyline among the Skyline/Supra masses against the far left wall.......or possibly the white 350Z in the PARKING LOT on 19" white Volk TE-37s, no spoiler, cleeeeeean aero kit, and carbon fiber air intake duct on the front bumper. They were all so nice its really hard to choose just one. All in all..........a damn good time. Lots of hot girls, lots of free stuff (posters, lanyards, stickers, etc) and lots of amazing cars! Can't wait till next year's HIN.

 

i couldn't even get in there. they had people directing cars away from making that first left at the light. so people were making U-turns or going straight up to the next turn to look for spaces. i didn't get to drive in the parking lot and i wasn't about to park a mile away at like golds gym just to go look. although the thought DID cross my mind. i saw a couple Zs parked when i passed by, but it was mostly Celicas & a few Evos that were trying to get in there when i drove by.

 

i heard the competition was rediculous...my friend who has a pretty rediculous eclipse placed 4th in his class and he is usually a best of show winner. i am kinda scared now to enter next weeks comp. Playswithcars...how did u do?

 

I took a few pics, I've been sick so I have not had time to put them up yet. I'll try to get some up soon. It was a pretty sweet show. I think nopi is still a bit better. There were only so many hot girls I could look and the cars looked nice but they are all standing still. I need to watch some drag racing as well. I like the tricked out cars but love the speed just as much. Can't wait for nopi in a few weeks.
Good luck Donna, I saw 2 cobalts there. Playswithcars I guess has to represent us all. Wish there would have been more. I'm sure you'll do great, you car is really one of a kind. I've got a LOT of catching up to do, wish I could make it to that show as well.
