Fans of the modern-day Mopar muscle car are gathering for the 10th annual Spring Festival of LXs, when hundreds of Chrysler 300s and Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Magnums will roll into Southern California’s Verizon Amphitheater.
The big day is Saturday. But not everyone wants to wait. Some drove hundreds of miles to attend.
So the Spring Festival social gathering kicked things off Thursday night in a nearby Fuddruckers parking lot, and we had a chance to talk with a few owners.

Do you know your blood type? Mine is 100 octane (not your standard blood bank classification). At any given moment, I’m thinking about cars – driving one, fixing one, buying one or (in my dreams) restoring one. So I love to tell stories that involve horsepower, brake and wheel diameters and 0-to-60 times – and the people who make it happen. Because behind every awesome vehicle are amazing people with vision and the desire to make it a reality. I cover Mopar, Dodge, SRT and motorsports for Stellantis Digital Media. I learned to drive on a 1973 Jeep CJ-5 with the rare Super Jeep option package and three-speed manual transmission. I still belong to the dwindling club of people who prefer to shift their own gears, and think the best way to drive is with the top down!
