    Toyota’s will sell anywhere..hold their value the best. It’s a great investment, even in McMinnville (preparing to be spammed by Toyota ads on all websites and social media platforms)

    That, and with no end in sight to the rising cost of living, McMinnville probably has a growth chart in the next 10 years that'll be huge.

    I think it will be okay. He will get a couple rings and he can come back and do a farewell season here just so he retires a Blazer.

    This is the first step in Dame's grand scheme to get his name on the front and back of the jersey, replacing Biofreeze as sponsor.

    I mean basically, they are paying Dame to simply borrow his name. To slap it on the side of the building right? He isn’t investing anything and will not have anything to do with day to day operations.
    Wise move by Dolla if you think about it.

    I don't think that's quite how it works.....and I promise you, Dame didn't do this for a photo op....he also probably can hire african americans to work there...Melo talks all the time about the importance of investing in the african american community..I think there's a bigger picture for someone like Dame who is actively trying to be involved in Portlands future. Dame has a business degree. I'm sure he won't work there but I'll bet anything he's on the board of directors or he is represented there from his own brand by someone he's hired. Dame knows guys like Magic who were smart businessmen

    Do you get paid for this type of "consulting"?

    Drove by there yesterday. We take one of our cars in there regularly. I notice they already have the block letters up on the front of the dealership.

    Kinda thought it was odd to invest out here, but considering the price of real estate in the metro, people flocking online to purchase cars.... honestly.... I could see a lot of dealers selling their higher-priced real estate in the metro area and buying cheaper land outside for their inventory.....
