Default Yeah this banner sucks

here is how they sell import shows anymore.....

Put a washed up Brated ugly ass slutty porn star on the venue.
Add one half assed DJ who was fair when he was at his prime.
Insert a bunch of ricey assed show cars who never hit the pavement.
Stir briskly and you get



I hate import shows.

Sadly it's becoming like that in New England. They're all about sponsors and less about the cars. Plus most of them are rice.

I still go though. h:

:dunno: I have honestly never gone to HIN at all and I don't plan on starting now. I got offered free journalist passes but I declined because I can't stand import shows anymore.

If it were a rod and custom show I would show up early and leave late every day of the show...but not an import show.

My friends wanted to go last year, but by the time we got there (there was probably only about 2 hours left before the show ended) and they wanted about 40-45 to get in. I decided to pass.

If people want to go to an import show, it's probably better off if you just enter your car in the show. It's only about a few bucks more than admission, you get better parking, you get some decent stuff for free (depending on the show) and you get to see the rest of the cars before anyone else. At least that's what I did a few years ago... h:

I quit going to car shows... its a rice fest. I prefer going to racing events and paying the $45 pit pass and looking at REAL race cars.

Admission is $25, but there's always use of flyers for a few bucks off.
Registration to the show is $50...

As for some of the cars in the show, I won't defend that :sad:
