Post FYI: Popularity of TL-S in MA

For any of you MA residents that want to know how many TL-S's you may run into on the streets, there are currently 152 of them on the road in MA. Out of that number, 111 of them are non-nav and 41 are nav. 150 of them are in Eastern MA and 2 are in Western MA--one each of nav (ABP) and non-nav (Silver). I'm the ABP with the nav.

Guess I won't be seeing much of myself on the road.

Sorry, just for MA. I have my sources--they are reliable, but that's all I can say. Also, as for color, silver is the most popular, followed closely by black. White is third and there are very few blues and greens. I'm in very rare company.....

I live in Northborough... near Worcester, and I have a black on black S with Nav. I have not seen any other Type-S near me. Now, Since I live near worcester and not far enough into the "east", do I count under the western part of MA or is there a "central?"

I've only seen one other Types S on the road and it was about a month a go in NY. I've seen several CL-S' but those don't count. We're bound to run into each other eventually!

I counted that as "east." Western MA includes the four western counties of Berkshire, Hampshire, Franklin, and Hampden. Everything else was categorized as East.

I've got a Black/Ebony Type S with nav, but I've only been driving around for a week now. Unfortunately, while waiting for my order to come in, another Green Type S without Nav showed up at in the parking lot at work (in Marlboro) before I got mine -- damn!

P.S., Mine just about changed into a Green one today - the pollen's just terrible here!

I was wandering around Sturbridge on 6/3 and 6/4, before heading back on I-90 and didn't see any other Type-S. What I did notice was the extraordinary number of Radar units around! I'm still in break-in mode (sort of), so no danger, but I came across four traps in the two days!!!
