It was a nice story to read. I have really felt the anxiety considering i have just got my hands on a roadster with a stick. Getting it tomorrow.

i was wondering what is the name of the color that you have?

thanks

I thought, judging by the pictures of your friends new car, that aero blue was much bluer with no silver in it. What is the color she got then?

Thanks for reply

wow - it looks great. gee, none of my friends offer to detail my car. I'm a single woman, taking care of a home on my own and I also have a ridiculously busy job and elderly parents to care for. I think I need to "loan" my car to some friends for the weekend!

Well I helped my friend find this Roadster 8 and a half years ago when she bought it with only 6,100 miles from the original owner who worked for Chrysler -
Fast Forward 8 and a half years, now Carol has decided to sell his beautiful 6 Speed Roadster which now has only 51,000 miles on it.
She contacted me to let me know she was going to be selling it
My interest was peaked immediately and after only a few days we reached an agreement on price and.........
I am going to purchase this from her !!!

My plan is to sell my SSB Coupe which I have had for 10 years to someone I know well next Spring and then I will be cruising in my first owned Roadster

Now you should drive it to the Dragon and experience top down driving in the mountains! Glad you finally got the roadster you were thinking about getting.

More than likely I will bring it next year !! Although I have experienced the Roadster in the mountains riding with others but still not the same as having my own. I'm very much looking forward to the top down next summer in my new to me Roadster and the 6 speed manual adds to the fun for me

He did get the 6speed1

As Danimal told me back in 2010, "You are probably gonna find that you are faster on the Dragon with the stick..."

He was SO right.
