HIN has changed so much, I remember when the FIRST HIN came out, all you had to do was have a full bodykit on a 93' accord and you can win. These days? You need a widebody, some insane HP numbers, insane stereo, doors that open all weird, rims that strain your eye when you look at em, some insane paint job.. list goes on

But what if I want to win HIN with only a set of custom twin turbo kit that overboosts but still keeps the sexy stock body style and head unit?!?!?! Do you think I can get my dad to pay off the judges? If that won't do, I'll throw in lambo doors to WOW the judges.

Dude, I got some labmo doors you can have... Crap you can have them for free if your willing to pay for the labour to get them out of my car ;-)

LOL

HIN sucked anyway... they have no consistancy in even putting the cars into categories, much less in judging them.. As for the DC HIN, unless you have an EMOTION sticker on your car, you got no chance for anything other then runner up.

Your better off building your car so you can drive it and show it off every day, then build it specially for HIN.

Yeah even talking to friends in EMOTION they even say its a little bias, they changed around the whole damn show just to make room for 2 more cars that signed up over night, the judges were in high school so AGP entertainment didn't have to pay them, it was a joke indeed, Night Shift was a cool idea but it guess it only lasted 2 seasons it prob cost too much money, its sad seeing that the old HIN was cool but it did get worse and worse every year.

^ i used to drive 4hrs just for HIN in NJ 10 years back... best times ever! You would literally see people from all over the states drive up on 495/I-95 all day long to the car show so you'll always have a group of ricers to mess around with. Especially if your crowd rolled 9-10 cars deep w/ all diff makes and models... and the other random ricers had just about the same # of cars as your group! Oh boy... all hell broke loose!

I hope HIN goes belly up soon...


.. .as you can see I'm still a little EMOTIONAL about losing to a car, that was not even qualified to win its class, according to the NCCA rule book.


.. good reddens HIN.
