Don’t hold your breath to post in the ‘spotted’ category. Last week I flew into Colorado springs via Denver. Picked up my latest ebay purchase and drove home through the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Miles driven in two and a half days = 1628, Number of Elans spotted = 0, number of Loti of any size shape or variation = 0 !.
I agree with this and all of the related comments. Lotuses are very rare around here and we even have a Lotus dealership in downtown Salt Lake City. Outside of car shows and club members, I think I've only seen 4 or 5 Lotuses ever, and most are because of the relative commonality of the Elise. I know I put a smile on someone's face every day when they see me commuting in my Evora.

If you take US 89 to the Canyon north side you'd also get to see the Vermilion cliffs which are the 3000ft escarpment, second step in the Grand Staircase of the Colorado Plateau.I saw them at sunset and nearly came off the motorcycle gawping. US89 is one of the great roads of the world IMHO.
Hey, I live on US89! Just not at the Grand Canyon.
But I agree, it's a great road through many places. I should travel more of it.
