So, it's been a while since I've taken my car to a Hot Import Nights show, so I'd like to show it again this year.
The two more "available" shows are:
Chicago, IL McCormick Place 3/25/2006 4pm to 11pm 2301 South Lake Shore Drive. Chicago, IL 60616
-AND-
Indianapolis, IN Indy Convention Center 6/17/2006 5 pm to 12 am 100 South Capitol Ave. Indianapolis, IN 46225
The date of the Indy show is much more appealing, but I've only even been to the Chi-town shows.
My question to you is - Would any of you want to go and tag along? I think it would be fun for a large group of WM guys and gals to go and have a fun night. Kind of like an unofficial meet.
In the past we usually drove down Friday night, I'd drop my car off at the center, then we'd check into our hotel, then hit up some bars. Then, Saturday night is the show, and we usually drove back home after the show, that night.
At this point, I plan on attenting one or the other (can't afford both), and I know a few of my friends will be down to go. I just wanted to extend the invitation to all of you to see if you want to tag along and party it up with us.
For anyone that has never been to a HIN show before - They are alot of fun, and quite overwhelming the first time. Any open minded person and garunteed to have a good time.
Let me know if anyone is intersted.

I'd be down. I'll ride with someone and throw in money. I like the Indy date better.

According to the site, the only events remaining for this year are in Honolulu and Miami. The ones you were referring to have "past coverage details," from this past year. As far as for the coming year, I'd be down for going sometime when the new dates are posted. www.hotimportnights.com/events/

I might be down if you are going to the one in Chi-town. I could stay with my gf and save money on hotels.

^^haha, no kidding. I was out fuckin around during the last big snow and towed out 2 cars from ditches when I felt I deserved some good donuts. I hit up Meijers and spun around at about 8500-9000rpm when I guess one of my stupid water lines got pissed. After the donuts I parked my car and smoke stared pouring out of it. I freaked out and grabbed a fire extinguisher ready to face the fact that my car is burning down when I saw that my coolant line was just spraying on my hot ass turbo. After all the smoke cleared, a 5 minute fix cured everything...and I'm back doin donuts again.

I got a fogger system that could fill up a stadium instantly, I'll lend it to you for the next HIN's but the people around you might get upset since it will look like a foggy day in London.
