1. Griot's products are not necessarily Made in USA.

2. Richard Griot, and I presume his staff, make a reasonable attempt to
weed out the crap that is so abundant in the automotive aftermarket.
Walmart does their best to sell crap masquerading as something useful.

3. Richard has a tendency to go overboard, but his market is people who
already willing to distance themselves from average folk by owning exotic
cars. People like us. (see "The Finest Water Hose Nozzle" at $75.99) At
least I don't take my cat to a pet spa.

4. Griot's cool aluminum floor jack is NLA.
