I noticed when you went they had a crappy motel now if you go thru drivers solutions and are going to PAM they put you in a stay lodge in Thomasville but it's clean and has a full sized fridge 2 counter top burners it's a good little ride over to Asheboro take your own transportation if possible if not get up early and find out who has a car and ask for a ride just be nice and offer gas money a lot of times people just say we are going to the same place no need for gas money there is a grocery store a taco bell and cook out out front of the hotel but if you walk down the side street in the neighborhood you will end up at Walmart there is a dmv not even a half a mile from the motel turn right at the light you'll come to a big shopping center the first store is an ABC store and walk along that side of the plaza and you'll find a door that opens up to a tag office and the dmv there is also a dmv by the school ask Pat or Randy for directions and they will be more than happy to help I hope this helps FTA is an awesome school
