    where are the Austin folks

    I saw an Orange MSP passing me going northbound on the Mopac service road right around William Cannon about a month ago. It was the only time I have seen an Orange MSP. btw, I drove a black MSP. I have also seen a yellow MSP in the office building parking lot around there.
