i might be there

Dont expect anything big, yeah, there will be some really nice ones, but for the most part, it will be mostly ricers and what not, at least, thats what i saw last year up on the Dallas HIN. The cool cars that i saw were some supras, 91 240sx with s15 front and s13 sr20, and a lambo with some mods. Everything else was rice.

It's alot of high profile cars with major sponsors.Most of the cars have already been featured in magazines, but it's cool to see them anyways.

I heard it was like a big Nightclub with cars. True??

i *might* go, but i might have to bolt if i get a rice overdose, which is likely to happen...

the one in ATL was aight. there was some badass music. breakdancers everywhere. and models (for all you guys who like em, i could care less. . ) there were some tight *** cars, but alot of ricers. ALOT. it was fun. saw cool cars, got some tshirts, and saw some badass breakdancing. if you go bring a video camera.

nig nightclub, no. breakdancers, cool music, and dark room- yes. live DJs and stuff, but not alot of people dancing. just watching the girls and the cars

i don't feel like wasting my money on seeing other ppl majority ricers cars or projects. i would like to finish my car before i start wasting $25 on ricers!!!

those import show is not ALL that great. dont go early either because you'll get bored and tire of walking around.

Don't expect too much out of hot import nights. The one and only one I went to last summer in LA convention center was filled with mainly hondas and acuras, wiith a few other cars. There was about 1 240 there. I was kinda dissapointed to say the very least.

Post by **BB Turbo** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

Yeah, get there like halfway, in between, or like an hour or two before they announce the winners, by then you wouldve already seen all of the cars twice. There is allot of breakdancing goin on, thatsa reason why i go, i like battling sme of the older peepz. Definitely bring a video camera.

Post by **1dollar240** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

Yeah, i was also dissapointed. Lots of hotties though. What you can expect: 9 out of every ten cars with have at least one NAAAWWWSSSS bottle in the trunk, if not two. Most will have extremely custom stereo setups and tv's with ps2's. All will have some sort of custom color-matched vinyl/leatherette/pleather interior. I saw only 4 240's, three had sr's the other was ka-t.

Im checking this one out too, It'll be a first but I have to at least see one, hopefully it wont disapoint

HIN is just another rice show dominated by Hondas. Unless you like loud crappy music, biased judges, import hoezzz, and overpriced tickets, you should go. Otherwise, you should just save the money or buy a nice dinner for your gf.

I live in CA and there's an import show every month, so I've had enough of it. I'm not sure how often you guys have 'em in the Philly.

Post by **chrispy** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

lots of rice and $20+ just to see them , I think i will use the money wiser buying some servasas (sp?)

im going to go anyway because i have never been to one, ill bring my video camera and take some shots of some turbos and stuff...

Post by **chrispy** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

cool that will make it the best , seeing all the good stuff without actually going . Watch out for all the rice though. And i also imagine that the fuzz will be on extra alert with that running.

Post by **chrispy** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

wow jspec with all those rims for sale what re you going to drive on?

Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

but guys, dont forget, all the free ish and sponsors stickers, will surely make up for that $25 door fee(just think, sell the stickers on ebay and make your $$ back), oh, and dont foget about the overpriced food vendors that they usually have , nothing like paying $3 for a coke that cost you $1.25 at the local gas station

Post by **BB Turbo** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

Yeah, there is a crap loadof free stuff to get, last timei went, i got loads of APC stickers, it was really cool. I have those stickers on all of my binders, all over my room, youll love it. Nah, j/p, there is a bunch of free stuff though.

Hot Rice Nights here i come!

Post by **SilviaLuvr** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

if it's you guys first HIN knowing the things that you know now, you'l be very dissapointed! It's Philly's first time having HIN in philly> the convention center is fair in size so there should be a lot of rice. There aren't any 240's in em'...i'll tkaet that back maybe one or two if you look very hard! Oh yeah don't get all jiddery oif you see an S14 wit S15 heads adn skyline tails. it's most likly a intgera or civic.

Post by **89S13 Drifter** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

the way you guys make it sound, someone might see less rice going on a tour of Uncle Bens Rice company than going to a HIN. But admit it, ricers are good for something, taking their money when you race them cause you spent your money on performance wear they got some neon spoiler or some crap.

Post by **SilviaLuvr** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

hmm (reading under the line) you sure like the 80's don't you.

Post by **89S13 Drifter** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:13 pm

haven't confirmed that yet, I think it may just be I can't find post 90's or pre 80's cars I like that I can afford. Want to learn something more screwy, cars I have had that died include a 88 corsica, 88 celebrity, and a 81 grand lemans. Those are the 3 gms thatdied in about a 6 month span. And even more odd is I am 21 now. from 18-19 I only had the 88 celebrity, then I got the convertible celebrity as a second car when I turned 20. So I purchased 6 cars in 2 years, or to sound even more drastic 5 cars in about the last 8 months. Thats more than some have in a lifetime. And they are all 80's, I just might belong in the twilight zone you think?
