    I stopped off at Griot`s in Tacoma the other day to buy a few things, and one of the guys there mentioned that they`re moving to a location near the Tacoma Mall. Apparently, they`re creating a headquarters that will house a retail outlet and a car museum. They also plan on doing car shows there periodically.



    Griot`s is hosting a buy one, get one free kart racing day at PGP raceway in Kent. I believe the date is November 8th: www.PACIFICGP.com

    That does seem like they are a bit full of themselves. Probably there to keep everyone from wanting to be a dealer just to sell a couple bottles a month. It would seem more reasonable though to have a required amount of product for your first stocking order from them. I wouldn`t mind cherry picking a few of their top products to sell (I actually manage a car item related website which ships enough every day that adding a couple dozen more boxes a day wouldn`t faze us) but wouldn`t want to have to stock the entire line or pay that much upfront for the privilege.

    Too many sunny, rainless days on the west coast (well a bulk of the coast, AKA California). Who needs to detail when you can drive for weeks without seeing rain. :p

    $5000 buy in? Does that mean you buy $5000 in inventory up front?
