The Caravans
The LX is a head-turner all by itself, imagine the scene you'll be making as you and your fellow LX owners roll down the highway and into Columbus 10... 20... 30 cars deep!!! Its much more fun to ride out to an event with a group of folks rather than make the trip alone. If you are organizing a caravan to the LX & Beyond Nationals, please let us know so we can add your caravan to the list.

I'll bump your bump and raise you two. I really am looking forward to this event. The Irvine LX Spring Festival was awesome, but they are laid back California guys. I told them the MidWest is where the REAL Car Guys are!
