The Spring Festival of LX went down today at the El Toro Marine Station (Irvine, CA) and all I can say is that for an event that's organized simply by a forum (www.socallx.com) it's worthy of praise and recognition. Rumor has it that the event had some 400 cars in attendance (from all over the nation) but I'm not an auditor so I wasn't gonna sit there and count. Needless to say, I'm sure they met the numbers that they're reporting and spectators were treated to a visual cornucopia of custom cars that ranged from mild to wild – and even stock. The general atmosphere of the event was chill and void of the bullshit and primal behavior that you'll find at some "car meets" so big ups to the socallx.com community for making it happen.

Topo's custom wide body Charger was up in the West Coast Customs booth with a new color combo on his wheels. This time around he went with custom machined West Coast Customs center caps, matte black lips  with a yellow trim ring and repainted faces. His shit is fresh to death….that's all I have to say.

Not my cup of tea….but the car definitely had a lot of supporters.

Some bad ass baby seats. These were originally Recaro baby seats that were reupholstered in leather.

No bags. No switches. This is how it rolls.

Since the last time most people saw the car the springs seemed to have settled even more but the ride is still good and the big question seems to be, “Does it rub?”

Well….it does rub a bit on a full turn – especially up a hard driveway entrance – but fuck it. There’s a price to pay for everything and if you’re gonna cry about it than go build a clay model or watch internet porn.
