Stars Come Out for the Orlando XM Satellite Radio's Hot Import Nights ShowXM Satellite Radio |
The Orlando stop of the nation's largest lifestyle custom car show, XM Satellite Radio's Hot Import Nights (HIN), will feature celebrity car appearances from the Orlando Magic's Grant Hill, DeShawn Stevenson and Shaquille O'Neil, plus Philadelphia Eagles' Brian Dawkins and wrestling legend Hulk Hogan. Coming to the Orange County Convention Center on Saturday, April 16, the HIN show is the only one of its kind that brings together all elements of youth and car culture in one night, and where the cars are the stars.
In addition to Hogan's Dodge Viper and Hill's Bentley GT, HIN will feature DeShawn Stevenson's Dodge Magnum, Dawkins' 645 BMW Convertible and Shaq's Rolls Royce Phantom. Other featured cars include an SSC Aero 8/T and two tricked out Lamborghini Gallardos.
Orlando is the fourth stop of this year-long, nationwide tour. The show begins at 5 p.m. and ends at midnight and costs $25 for general admission and $55 to enter the car competition. In addition to hundreds of the hottest custom cars competing for prizes in several categories, event attendees are treated to non-stop entertainment, including live music, multiple DJs, model appearances and the nation's top car designers displaying the latest in custom car trends.
The 2005 HIN season kicked off last month in Los Angeles, breaking all previous records for attendance, number of cars displayed, variety of live musical acts, number of exhibitors and sponsors as well as number of model and celebrity appearances. Celebrities that attended the Los Angeles show ranged from Brooke Burke, the sexy host of several E! Entertainment Television shows and recent Stuff cover girl, to hip-hop artist and reality show star of "The Surreal Life," Flava Flav. Several members of the musical group the Black Eyed Peas also attended.
