No, not a Toyota Tacoma even though I have one.
Caffeine & Gasoline is a must-attend monthly event for car fanatics. Join us on January 7... Bring your favorite ride and chat with other enthusiasts over free coffee and donuts!
This month, get up close and personal with one of the only 2012 Fisker Karmas in the Pacific Northwest. The Fisker Karma is the first true high performance electric luxury vehicle with the freedom to plug in or fill up. With dual electric motors putting out 403 horsepower, 0-60 happens in just 6.3 seconds, all while getting up to 100 MPG.
Caffeine & Gasoline is a rain-or-shine tradition that takes place on the first Saturday of every month. We hope to see you here!
Griot's Garage 3333 South 38th Street Tacoma, Washington
I drive Fairlane there every time for the first Saturday monthly freebie.

Hey Craig do you know if the donut and coffee cruise in will still happen at the LeMay Museum after it's open in June like it did in Fife? Not sure what the weather is to be this weekend but I might make appearance at Griots. Did you say they give something out free?? I always spend too much $$$ when I go Griots.

I don't know if the LeMay is still going to do the second Saturday cruise ins. I'm thinking about springing the fiddy bucks for a membership since they might need me to restore that prototype Avanti. Then I can find out if they will continue them.
Griot's is spendy but it is good stuff. Thankfully I have incredible sales resistance. You didn't know that you can pick up a punch card for swag at Griots....eh? Five punches and you get something free......FREE I tell you! The Griots half-quart coffee mug is doing duty as a pen and pencil holder even now. I still have one full card and a couple of others with one punch.
I'm heading out to Old Country Buffet in South Hill tomorrow morning for the Old Racers brunch with my brother so the Fairlane will see some use before Saturday. Sure runs a d**n sight better with a working battery......

The LeMay or as it is to be known, ACM Americas Car Museum will open in June of 2012. The second Saturday of each month starting in June will be a 9 to noon coffee and donut event. I like those for the low key factor and run what you brung aspect of the cars.

This is the first I have heard of this, but I live in under a rock up here in Ballard. I am going to have to get down there and check it out... Thanks for the post

Well..... one cannot expect much more from Ballard. Unwashed lederhosen, accordion accompaniment to polkas and Stan Boreson after all.
In addition to all that.... First Saturday at Griot's, second Saturday at ACM and every Friday evening at 5 until 8 a cruise in at Griots. Not for sure when the Friday gigs start but I'll research and let you know.
