JDM Chicago’s Friday Night Lights was different this month because it was at a new location, but it was also on a different day. The location, Arlington Toyota and Scion, had much more parking than the previous location, and this meet was on Saturday instead of Friday. Both changes seemed to work out because the lot started to fill way earlier than I expected.<\/p>\n

Early on, I saw a 240SX Fastback<\/a> and Corolla GT-S<\/a> that really represented the spirit of JDM in the US. The majority of the cars there were Japanese, but there was a pretty good mix. One of my favorite cars there was a BMW<\/a>. Below are some of my favorite pictures, but the full set can be found here: FNL Saturdays: July 21, 2012<\/a>
