Personal Note:

Things that I don't see in the daily stats - aftermarket modifications, body alterations, lambo doors, suicide doors, halos, aftermarket fascias, interior modifications, engine bay dress up, engine upgrades, blowers, turbos, cams, headers, rims, dropped suspensions, tinted tails, eyelids, sound systems, ground effects, track times, time slips.

I don't know how many of these cars are still stock, numbered, or on their second or third engine block.

I don't know how many little junior LXers there are attending, who want to grow up and be like mom or dad and have their own Modern Muscle car to drive and show off.

I know I put up a lot of totals and numbers, but there's so much more to this event than just the numbers. Again, if you're on the fence, I urge you to register for this. You don't even have to thank me. Just go and have a good time and take it all in. There's just nothing else like it if you're as into these cars as you'd have to be to be on these forums.

I'm just one member of these forums. I use my Dodge Charger SRT to run errands and cart my toddler around. I haven't made any significant cosmetic or performance modifications and I'm not into all the competition. I just love my car and all the friends I've made because of my curiousity about my car that led me to this online community. That's why I'm a big cheerleader for this event. The first time I went I made more lifelong friends than I can count on all my fingers and toes. Each year that I went, I made more friends. Every year gets better and better.

Trust me, if you can muster the funds and time, you need to go to this event. Even if you don't go to any other event all year (which hopefully you go to lots!), you need to go to this event.

Thanks for following my posts and if you've registered already, thank you.

You are truly an awesome cheerleader for this event, Tam! I sense your excitement for all who attend (my first time!) and your disappointment on not going this time yourself! You, Mark and Maddie, Elee and the others in the club that can't or won't make it, will be missed greatly by those of us that will be going. Thanks for all the input and work that you've done to keep us up to date and excited about the event. Love to you, T!

610 this morning, can we make it 650 by Wednesday?

[AreTee]

I'm on the EDGE. Gotta make sure though, I'll let you know.

[ChargerGirl]

Just ONE more Challenger makes 100!!

[ChargerGirl]

March 8th, 12 days to go and we added SEVEN more since last night.

All SEVEN from California (456)

THREE Chrysler 300s (114), THREE Dodge Challengers (99), ONE Dodge Magnum (1)

ONE 2005 (94), TWO 2006s (203), ONE 2007 (126) and THREE 2009s (79)

ONE 300C, FOUR SRTs (ONE 300, TWO Challengers and ONE Magnum), ONE Touring, and ONE R/T (Challenger)

SOMEONE changed their color from Bright Silver Metallic to Other.... interesting

The colors we added - ONE Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl (179), ONE Deep Water Blue (9), TWO Hemi Orange Pearls (31), ONE Inferno Red Crystal Pearl (48), TWO Others (One new and the switcharoo - 40 total), and ONE Steel Blue Metallic (9)

If your stats aren't listed, this is just a daily update. I'll be writing up another big summary tomorrow.

Just TWELVE days from the show itself, just a matter of days before the first start showing up in Irvine to start early. Get your cars serviced, make sure you've got time for detailing, go get those last minute supplies for the trip and the show. Make sure you've got plenty of memory for photos and videos. Based on past years, bring sunscreen and a warm jacket (the weather can vary wildly from year to year, lol). We're in the home stretch now!
