Looks like a fair bit of age correlation State Mapping Software

In the Northwest these cars are common enough that most don't bother posting sightings.

Several years ago I did an analysis of Lotus Ltd membership. It followed the coast: E, N (great lakes) W and Gulf. So does the money. So does engineering jobs. Both are predictors of Lotus ownership.

funny - because some of the best engineering & modification support for the car is done in Kansas City - which is smack dab in the middle of the country. Smart of BOE to centrally locate themselves.

Great data! It does go without saying that the sunshine states have more.

This is so true! I was at FVMC and they asked what I did and I said I was an engineer. The receptionist said, "of course you are, almost everyone who buys Lotus are engineers!"
