One thing that we love to do is travel! Most of the time, we plan our vacations based upon cities that are hosting car shows. Over time we've made several friends by doing this... thus entering the picture, our friends from Royal Mindset and Dynasty Empire... our hosts in the Windy City, Chicago.

Hot Import Nights brings their automotive enthusiast show to Soldier Field. Complete with drifting, motorcycle stunts, Mazda Challenge, and much more. In the Boost Mobile booth was our future Jade Girl feature model, Miss HIN Guam - DearHeart. NOS Energy Drink runs Model Central where we found our July Jade Girl, Tracy Nova. Our mouths continued to drop and drool with the sight of Talia Sundseth and Apple Somoza... a few 'special' drinks later... we were having a party at the show before it was even over! Lastly, at the Royal Mindset booth, Misa Campo rocked our JADE 10 sticker!

It's always a pleasure to go to another city to meet new people. We also use this opportunity to discover and create new styles of building a car to bring back to our hometown. Until you've actually traveled and attended other shows in different regions, you can't appreciate the significant difference in the way cars are modified. Although I do have a certain way I like to build a car, here are a few examples of the cars that I found to be quite interesting.

Congratulations to all of the winners at the show, and thanks to all of our fans and supporters! We were actually surprised by the amount of people who recognized the Jade logo on the back of our shirts. Thank you also for showing your love by wearing our "JADE 10" stickers!
