Hot Import Nights Nightshift 2007 in Chicago
I’ve found another home, and I’m definitely not alone. Soldier Field’s parking lot was packed again this year for Hot Import Nights Nightshift. I think the show may have been even bigger this year than last year. It certainly felt like there was more…
Hot Import Nights and Drift Day 14
Hot Import Nights in Chicago was almost a month ago, but I never got around to the details. The show was about as loud, crowded, and dark as I’ve come to expect, but it also JDM and high-end Euro cars. Skylines are seen in the US more and more, but I w…
