Why the Warp Questionaire

Tried to do a layout of the data, but can't figure out to get it in here at the moment.

Overall, warp seems to be somewhat even over 2005 and 2006. Mostly the top vents that warp, but some with the sides.

When I drew a rather arbitrary visual line across the US from just above Los Angles and put guys either in the North or South half, the problem does seem much more prevalent in the South (12 of 15 or 80 percent for the South versus 7 of 23 or 30 percent for the Nouth), though warp and no warp does occur in both regions.

It also looks like cars that have no warp are slightly less likely to have a transaxle cooler, but that is probably just an artifact of owners with the coolers tend to live in warmer climates in the first place.

I’ll try some standard analysis on the data – now just doing some visual, but aside for the region tendency, not seeing anything obvious.

More postings might help – and they need to be both warp and no warp. If there is no warp, just be clear if the vehicle was purchased used whether maybe the vents had already been changed.

Forgot to delete the attachment that wasn't really working - it shows most of the cars, but cut some off. Does give an idea of what it looks like.
