Hey y'all. Don from South Carolina here. I have a 2005 red roadster limited with 32K miles. Love it. Looking at buying a 2005 red coupe with 73K miles. Needs alot of work. Will be asking questions in (hopefully) the appropriate forums. Have a great day!

You might try the lodge, I think Mark ( pizzaguy ) said over on facebook that there might be some openings.
(828) 498 2211 and ask for the reservations desk

Hi Mackel. Beautiful roadster. We live up toward Bowen off of 9. Did you get those wheels chromed, or did they come that way?

Thank you! The original owner we bought the car from paid $1100 to have them chrome plated in 2005. I understand that the factory did not put out any chrome wheels. All painted. This car has an interesting history.
We live in Arbours West just off East Blackstock Rd a tad north of Roebuck.

I don't know if you've done any of the mods to your roadster or not.
I have done the "sticky key" mod to the ignition switch and removed the
electric lock from the trunk lid.
If you have not done either of these I'll be glad to give you a hand.
Everything I know about the car pretty much came from this forum.
Great bunch.
