This is a new address for them so please note it; 3333 South 38th St., Tacoma. Here's a link to their map Contact Information - Customer Service - Griot's Garage The new showroom is way better than their old one. I'm anxious to check it out.

I'm in barring anything unforeseen. Yes, the new showroom is better though there is less parking.

I'm very likely there, just added it to my calendar.

I was just at the new location a couple of weeks ago. I like it better than their old one AND they have some vintage race cars on display.

JOHN317 · 01-14-2011, 12:06 AM

I think we will try to do this as practice run for Pinticton.

I will work on that, we are four strong now. There are several more SSR's in town but we haven't been able to corral them yet. Looking forward to seeing your new ride. BTW was your new Dodge pickup one of the ones that had to be recalled. Saw it on the news.

turnheadz · 01-14-2011, 07:46 PM

haven't heard anything about the Dodge recall

HALSSSR · 01-17-2011, 08:51 PM

Don't Ya Just Love it!!

turnheadz · 01-17-2011, 10:35 PM

gee, that's swell Hal

but only if I can drive

jester · 01-18-2011, 12:29 AM

I even get their catalog in the mail. Been to the new show room several times now.

Last time, at the grand opening the Corvette guys seam not to have any interest in another Chevy product,

so I parked with the ferraris.

Good group. I will probably have to drag my old man along too.

Don't forget to make a shopping list!

Yeah I had a real nice copper bronze 2dr hardtop when Toni and I first got married. Sold it after a year and bought my dream car>>>>1963 Corvette Stingray coupe,saddle bronze with saddle leather,Iv'e told that story here on the forum!

PS: Yeah Glenn:The fifty eight convertible was gorgeous in that turquiois and
the last time we were at the cruise I asked the guy sitting next to us at trophy time how much he wanted for his beautiful red 58 Impala convertible,he had a bid smug grin while he told me>>>>>$150K>>Thank you,but no thank you>>>I need to pay wholesale or at least not full blown retail,I know he gets that asked all the time,so it qualifies the serious buyers real quick! LOL Take care Glenn,see you guys at Griot's Garage on the 28th of May 2011,you betcha boy!

Jerry Yoder's Garage Tour | Roxio PhotoShow

donnys05ssr · 02-03-2011, 10:17 PM

I think everyone will really enjoy the tour to Jerrys. It Is about twenty to twenty five miles from Griots. After we leave there, Unless Hal has a place to stop for lunch, We can go pretty close to Jerrys place for lunch at a local restaurant. Probably we will have to sit In groups of four. Besides Jerrys 150 foot by 45 feet wide garage, He has a 3000 square foot gagage that he does his work In. The main showroom garage has anothe 20 by 150 foot garage hooked to It, Where he keeps his motor home and other toys along with the Pent house above the showroom. He Is on the water at lake tapps. Jerry also has a 2005 SSR Aqua Blur with 400 miles on It In the showroom. This should really be a fun day, So lets plan on fun, fun, fun. Thanks

turnheadz · 02-04-2011, 11:10 AM

thanks for putting this addition on our day

chevycars69 · 02-07-2011, 10:59 PM

What kind of cars are in the collection? I'm checking my schedule to see if we can make it. I have 2 friends locally with SSR's that have'nt attended any events yet. I'm going to see if they want to motor up there with us if our schedule permits.

Russ

turnheadz · 02-08-2011, 12:42 AM

Donny could answer that question. I hope you and your mates can make it up for the day

donnys05ssr · 02-08-2011, 12:17 PM

Click on to Hals Thread just up from where you commented about the cars Jerry has and click on to the bottom where It says Jerrys Yoders Garage tour and the video show a few of his cars. Really a fantastic garage and a great place to tour.

turnheadz · 02-08-2011, 06:05 PM

Oh yeah, I remember watching that

I forgot. Is that what is refered to as a seniors moment?

donnys05ssr · 02-08-2011, 07:02 PM

I think a Senior Moment, Is when you back the car out of the garage with the door still closed. Yikes

DRAGN · 02-08-2011, 07:25 PM

Hello Sandy,
Peter and I are going to try and come. We are away the week before but should be back in time. Hope it works out for us.

Russ,
Count us as going....checked the schedule and it's a GO...Thanks for thinking about us....even though we're just another Red SSR.

DRAGN · 02-11-2011, 02:57 PM

Sorry guys but we won't we able to make it. We have a bunch of relatives arriving from Quebec for that weekend staying with us. Here I thought we had it figured out. Sounds like a great outing.

Happy Valentines day to all the Ladies, Remember us guys want you to enjoy your SSR,S as much as we do????????. Lynn and I just got back from a great restaurant that we will probably go to on the way to Jerry Yoders garage tour after we leave Griots Garage. They have good food, Plus a good parking lot where we can kick tires and BS. If we can keep Sue under control, It should work out great. This Is one event you will not want to miss, Sign up for Fun Fun Fun.
