AND...here's registrant #500 HARLEYCODE3 2/15/2010 11:06:36 PM Henderson Nevada 2008 Dodge - Magnum - R/T Bright Silver Metallic
Finally, I think I can say for sure we've got 500 registered!! Alright folks, we are officially into the 500s and closing in on 700 and up with less than a month before registration closes!! We added 4 since my last stats post, including ONE from Arizona, ONE from Missouri, and TWO from Nevada. Also lost one from Utah. Out of the total: 34% are Chargers (172), 29% are Magnums (145), 300s (94) are 19% and Challengers (76) make up 15%. 2006s (170) are 34%, 2007s (105) are 21%, 2005s (75) are 15% and years 2008 (63), 2009 (64) and 2010 (16) make up another 29%. 31% are Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl (153), 12% are Bright Silver Metallic (61), and the other 57% are divided up among 24 other standard colors and 33 "OTHER" colors. We added ONE more 300C (37 - 7%), ONE more 300C SRT Design (2 - fractional percentage), ONE more Challenger SE (2 - fractional percentage), ONE more Charger SXT (16 - 3%), and TWO more Magnum R/Ts (52 - 10%). SRTs (across all platforms) total 170 - 34% of the total R/Ts and Cs (Non-SRT) total 217 - 43% of the total V6s total 101 - 20% of the total So no one is left out, this isn't about cliques or who's engine is bigger or any of that nonsense. Everyone's getting together to share and appreciate these awesome cars. So again, if you're on the fence, go down the list of all your excuses and see if you can really really justify not coming. The event is free, the venue is amazing, everybody who's anybody in our community will be there. Almost all parts of the country are represented and just about every color, model, trim, aftermarket power, cosmetic, electronic, sound, paint modification you could dream of will be on display. If you get off your duff, you even get a discount on your hotel stay as well as other goodies that haven't even been mentioned yet. Plus its an excuse to get over those long winter months and cabin fever and go out and enjoy the car culture in Southern California before it gets miserably hot.
The event is really shaping up with 501 registered and more to come. If you’re on the fence or have no idea what Spring Festival is, it is a mega meet where you get to see it all. There will be Beach Burger Thursday night in Huntington Beach; US Wheels will have an Open House Friday and a kick off party at the Double Tree, Irvine Friday night with the event on Saturday and K 1 Speed on Sunday. It will be an experience all weekend. The hotel is going all out for us and we are working on the final details. To give you an idea of how many people are staying there we currently have 71 check in on Thursday, 139 on Friday with a few less on Saturday. If you are planning to stay at the Double Tree, Irvine, I would book your room ASAP. We still have rooms available, but if you wait till the last minute you might have a problem. All you have to do is register
Okay, not exactly sure about details, whether its people backing out or Jon's scrubs, but the grand total now stands at 505 registered for this event. Since I checked yesterday, we added ONE from British Columbia, FOUR from California and ONE from Washington and dropped ONE from Missouri. We added ONE 300, FOUR Chargers and ONE Magnum and dropped ONE 300. WE added ONE 2005, FOUR 2006s and ONE 2007 and dropped ONE 2005. We dropped ONE 300C, and added TWO SRTs (one charger and one 300), TWO SEs (Chargers), ONE SXT (Charger) and ONE R/T (Magnum). We dropped ONE Satin Jade Pearl () and added TWO Brilliant Black Crystal Pearls, ONE Dark Titanium Metallic, ONE Inferno Red Crystal Pearl, ONE Magnesium Pearl and ONE Silver Steel Metallic. 300s, you need just SIX more to make 100 total. Chargers, if you really want to outdo yourself, you need just 23 more to make 200 total. Challengers, I know you're the new guys still, but you only need 24 more to make 100 total. Magnums, just four more makes 150. C'mon folks, like John always says "Go big or go home!" More detailed stats tomorrow and Friday.
Only FOUR more since yesterday for a new total of 509, but we did manage to add one new state!! THREE were from California and ONE was from Michigan!!! Added ONE 300, TWO Chargers and ONE Challenger.

So get on it!!
Can you believe in just four weeks that hundreds of LXes will be converging on the Irvine Doubletree?? That's right, four weeks from TOMORROW, its SPRING FEST!!! Since they like to plan ahead and make sure everything is in place so you can bet registration will be cut off in advance. That means you have maybe...MAYBE...three weeks to register if you haven't already. And that's cutting it close!
My Charger is fixed and back in my possession!! Yay!! Now, back to pumping up this thing! C'mon folks, carpe LX or something already!!! Stats to come later this evening.

FOUR Chargers - 184 total (including that two-door custom) ONE Magnum - 147 (including the Chargum and the 300-um) ONE 2005 - 77 total THREE 2007s - 110 total ONE 2009 - 66 total TWO R/Ts (ONE Charger and ONE Magnum) ONE SE (Charger) TWO SRTs (Chargers) TWO Bright Silver Metallics - 63 total ONE Midnight Blue Pearl - 13 total TWO TorReds - 33 total Before you go off and wonder WHY I left your car off, I just listed the changes today. If your State/Region, Make, Year, Trim, or Color wasn't listed, its the same as it was yesterday. So just scroll up to my last stats post or go to http://www.socallx.com/2010SFStatistics.aspx. Once again, time is short. Registration is easy. Once you're registered, its all over but the roadtrip and the happy dance!
Added TWO more today for a new total of 518!! Two Chargers, ONE Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl R/T from Texas and ONE Sublime Metallic R/T Daytona from California. There are now more Sublimes than Plum Crazies! 300s!! Wake up, you need FIVE, just FIVE more to make 100 in the event. C'mon!! You're the flagship, the grand dame, the lead, the most popular of the LXes in the public for the longest time!! I swear I can't drive one block and not see half a dozen of those beauties rolling around putting other sedans to shame. Surely there more enthusiasts out there who can find the time in their schedules to make this event and represent!! Chargers!! Holy cow, at 186, you all have come a LONG way from the first Spring Fest when you were the new kids and lost in a sea of 300s and Magnums!! Keep 'em coming though!! Challengers, not bad for your second year with a total of 78, but still don't you want to come out with triple digits this year? Huh? Magnums, totalling 147 now, the workhorses of the bunch, always boasting of the most storage space, the one LX you could feasibly bunk in if there isn't hotel space. You all always have the innovations, the cutting edge mods and you always come out in big numbers, keep it up! Give the Chargers a run! More updates tomorrow!
Okay, added FOUR more since my last check for a new total of 522. All FOUR were from California, which as the home state now has a total of 386. That still means there are 136 registrants from TWENTY-ONE other states and THREE regions of Canada. Not too shabby at all!! Still, I have a feeling there are or more of you out there, unwilling to commit unless you're completely and utterly sure you can go. Seriously, the first hurdle is signing up, after that its all details and then the excitement, anticipation and finally the actual event itself! After that its all the pictures, videos, inside jokes, new nicknames, stories and stuff of legends to get you thru until the next one. Now, back to those FOUR. We added ONE 300 putting 300s just FOUR shy of 100 total. C'mon y'all, get a move on! We also added TWO Challengers for a new total of 80. You got 80, surely you could get oh, 15-20 more? Make it competitive for those 300 owners?? We also added ONE Other Other type...hmm...vendor?? Year models, we added ONE 2006 (177 total now), ONE 2009 (67 total) and ONE 2010 (17 total). C'mon 2005s, 2007s and 2008s!! Wakey wakey! Oh and that ONE other vehicle... The ONE 300 was a Touring, so there are now SIX of those at this event! The TWO Challengers were both R/Ts making for 34 of those at this event! And the ONE other, which I don't know what that is...hmm... Okay, colors!! We added ONE more Cool Vanilla - making 20 total now! That's a lotta beans! ONE more Hemi Orange Pearl for a new total of 25!! Yay for the HEMI color! ONE other color - that mystery car again... AND ONE more Stone White for a total of 19. Gotta catch up to those Beans!! More stats tomorrow!
ok, finally made my Hotel reservations. We are actually coming in Wednesday as I need to do some stuff at Corporate. haha It's all good since my company is now paying half the travel. woot You guys better get your rooms reserved as they do not have many left....
