I've had my Ty for about a month now, but I can't help feeling gleeful (if you will) when I get people asking or complimenting me on my Ty.
Here's just a few encounters I've had in the past month that made me feel pretty dam good about buying the Typhoon:
: Filling at a gas station a guy says it's a good looking truck and it's been years since he's seen one. I simply gave him the reply that it looks a lot better when it's clean. It was actually quite dirty at the time and had LOTS of bird excrement on the back of the roof. I actually had birds flying in poop with their beak and leaving it on my Ty (I wouldn't believe it either except that I actually saw it a few times). In fact, I counted and would get 10+ "bombs" in a concentrated spot a day on my Ty.
: I picked up my dad (he has no car or license) a couple times from work (around ten at night) with the Ty and by the second or third time I picked him up he had three or four people from the foundry askin' about the Typhoon... and one of the people wasn't even on his shift!
: I'd get a compliment from the random fast food employee workin' the drive thru.
: When I brought it home and explained to my downstairs neighbor that I just bought it (he knew what it was) he told me, "you suck," before going back inside.
: Just yesterday after picking up some Taco Bell I had someone in an adjoining parking lot honking at me and giving their approval... so I replied with a thumbs up and a engine rev that took me 15-20 over the limit (unintentional) in a blink of an eye. Good thing there were no cops around lol
I know things like that may not be a big deal to a lot of you, but after driving a neon (my only other car) for years, it makes me pretty damn happy with my purchase.
I'd love to hear any other similar stories that you guys might have after first buying your SyTy. Sorry if this threads been done before. Admittedly, I didn't do a search before posting *gulp* :roll:
