Hot Imports Night stopped at the Dulles Expo Center on April 19 to offer emcee contests, free shirts and imaginative showcases that left viewers shaking their heads in 'why-didn't-I-think-of-that' bewilderment.

Some of the cars were what you would never expect to see on the streets. Example: the 7th generation Toyota Celica with taillights and rear bumpers that slid out to show its immense entertainment center packed with television screens.

One HIN highlight was the Boost Mobile Urban Stage. There an emcee battle was held between some of the people in the crowd willing to show off their skills, or lack thereof. Tall guys crowded the stage to catch flying free t-shirts and other freebies.

Like every car show, there were a generous amount of beautiful ladies. Although I read that HIN Spokesmodeland Fairfax's own Ursula Mayes would be hosting at one of the stages, she was nowhere to be found.

The show was limited to the inside of the Expo Center. Like other years at their Chantilly, Va. stop, HIN attendees filled the parking lots with their own sweet rides.
