Brief introduction: I am 25 years old, and work as a tech at a very small auto brokerage / repair shop in Erie, Colorado that...

    New Ty Owner in Colorado, #1852

    Hi, I just recently purchased Ty #1852 off Bring A Trailer: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1992-gmc-typhoon-5/ Probably paid a little more than I should have, but I've wanted one of these trucks since I was 15 or so (I'm 25 now). I actually didn't see that auction until the last day when my...
