                 Now in its eighth consecutive year, HIN is at the forefront
                 of the sport compact car culture and has become more of an
                 entertainment event than a traditional custom car show.
                 Today HIN has evolved into a celebration of all elements of
                 youth culture from music to style to cars and video games.

  When:          Thursday, June 9, 2005
                 6:30 p.m. -- Dark CDT

  Where:         McDonald's (Wrigley Field)
                 3620 North Clark
                 Chicago, IL 60613

  Why:           Nothing says summer like the cool customized cars that Jay
                 Laub and Hot Import Nights will bring to McDonald's this
                 month for a free preview of the HIN show at McCormick Place
                 on Saturday, June 11.  This car and lifestyle show is at
                 the forefront of the sport compact car culture, bringing
                 hundreds of the nation's top show cars together with
                 multiple DJs, model and celebrity appearances and
                 interactive video game zones.

                 Big Mac is looking for the hottest customized car in the
                 country by having fans vote via text messaging for their
                 favorite vehicle during each HIN tour stop.  Winners from
                 each show will be posted on both the Hot Import Nights
                 website ( http://www.hotimportnights.com/ ) and the global
   McDonald's website ( http://www.mcdonalds.com/ ).  At the
   end of the year, there will be an online vote to crown a
   national champion.  The national champion will receive
