Besides subscriptions (you all do subscribe, right?), what would you like to see in the GRM store? This is a rare time when everything is on the table, so let me know what you'd like to spend your hard-earned money on. No idea is too outlandish, and I'll take everything into consideration. For reference, here is our current selection: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/store/
I would buy GRM Beer, exclusively, if'n it were available.
Of course, distribution might be an issue. Standing by your mailbox waiting for beer gets old real fast.

Somebody else mentioned fender covers, that might be cool.
A GRM tool bag
A GRM eight-ball. Shake it and the answer will be:

An honest-to-bob BOONIE HAT with a big brim all the way round. The bucket hats just don't cut it.
T-shirts in beergut sizes - XXL, XXXL.

1 - Fender cover (see other thread, this one is popular)
2 - Little pop-up canopy (you know the 10x10 kind that are great for shade at the autox)
3 - Camber/Caster gauge
4 - Little air pump that plugs in the lighter socket
5 - Universal plastic flares with a little GRM embossed in it.
All I can think of right now.

^Yes.
I'm imagining a Longacre gauge with the GRM logo.

Actually, we already offer XXL t-shirts. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/store/clothing/
I wish you guys still had the plate frames. I need another one after my car got rear-ended, but I know that you guys had trouble selling them the last time.
Also, make more shirts/clothing for fat dudes like me. I've gotten 3 XXL Challenge shirts and one with a 2-year subscription, and they all shrink to belly shirts after going through the wash. Do they make a taller size or something?
Just don't make any sleeveless teal mesh tank tops with the GRM logo.
A wide brim straw hat, like the Amish gents wear in the summer.
A cool magazine about modified street and race cars. Oh, wait a mo!
Stick to what your best at.

Just be careful going down the merch rabbit hole. We did a TON of company merch at one of my previous employers, even got a famous wrestler to shill for us. It went nowhere. Pretty sure all those shirts are still rotting in a warehouse somewhere.

Definitely!
I also like the 10'x10' pop up tent idea.

AAA for the rest of us - good idea.

Now there's something worthwhile! I'd be all over a GRM discount page and/or special events.
Also, magnetic GRM stickers so I can shill for you guys at the track but not have to run them on the street / ruin my paint.

Branded banners like Summit sells. They are great and cheap for the garage.

Ever thought of doing a book entirely of one writers columns? This would probably be best done in eBook format, but probably pretty easy to compile. I'd read that. If I had an eReader, I'd buy it.
