I just got back from HIN, and honestly, I was very disappointed. I should have towed my car there with my cracked sideskirt and shown it off. There were a couple dozen local cars (civics, 240sx, and a random supra or toyota). There were a few really nice cars from Bridgestone, Sony, and National Guard - other than that, the only interesting part was the motorcycle stunts and BMX 75 foot jumps. They did some drifting towards 9pm but it sucked, and was on the track... very narrow so not much they could do. I left after 15 minutes.

This is the first time I've seen Killerglass hoses in person. It was on the National Guard Altima, and looked very impressive. I'm uploading my 224 pictures tonight (battery died or there would have been twice as many). I'm going to another car show tomorrow (Import Alliance) and I'll post pics from there, but it'll be mostly civics I'm sure. It's mostly the regional Honda clubs.

But, HIN made the NOPI Regional shows look awesome. I was disappointed.

At the time of this post, I was only 25% done transferring 224 pictures. Check back later.

you would be better off to talk to a person locally who blows glass. have them do it in pyrex to your spec in any shape you want.

looks like a very small turn up though. if it lasted less than "crocodile dundee in los angeles", it must have been upsetting.

i hate those altima coupes. uugh.

Bridgestone brought a few nice cars, as did Sony. The Aston Martin was nice, but only from a distance. No hood propped or doors open. The only cars I really 'liked' that were daily drivers was an NSX and Elise.
