For the first time since 2009 Hot Import Nights is back in the car show business. I had to go check it out and see if their return to the northeast would be as good as their return to the west coast, which it wasn’t even close to but whatever still a good time. I have yet to be at a car show in the buffalo area that had a lot of cars at it except for crossing the border and going to import fest in toronto.

I saw pics on another forum of the “gems” that were there, like the Neon with apparently caulking holding the widebody on and other general failures.

I went to my first HIN show in NH a few years ago…it was my last.

Dude I was there as well, still editing the pics I took of the drift event. Based on the angles of some of the shots, you were maybe 20 feet away from me.

I was using my canon rebel XS with a regular canon 70-300mm 4-5.6 III lens. So if there was a guy with a stalker lens near you, it was likely me, unless the lens looked super expensive, I was running pretty basic gear.
