Met the biggest Ty-owning idiot last night [rant ON]

My friend and I, which have done everything one could possibly do to our trucks (and I mean everything), ran across a guy with a black Ty at the weekly car show on Saturday. I don't know if this guy was a total recluse or social failure, but he didn't want to have anything to do with us (I was wearing deodorant, honestly).

Anyways, we introduce ourselves and ask how the Ty's running, which is the best way to start because nobody's truck seems to ever be running right. :wink: He tells us that it's running like crap, sputtering, etc. I ask him what he's got done to it, he tells me that he did plugs and a new fuel pump. I asked if he got the FP from Checker, since the FP that Checker lists for a SyTy is incorrect (they'll give you a FP for a Suburban). I said that that might be the reason that it's not running right. He gets all offended like I'm trying to insult his automotive prowess and snaps back at me, "NO, they said it was for a TYPHOON dude."

I tried about three more times to explain the problem to him, but the guy wouldn't listen. We even offered to have a little wrench session and hook his truck up to Datamaster to get it ruunning well, but he shot that idea down, got in his truck, and drove away visibly annoyed.

Who friggen owns a Ty, has the audacity to show it off, but doesn't want to meet any other SyTy owners, or god forbid learn something about their truck? He told us that he's owned it for 3 years and had no interest in the truck, how it works, why it's special, nothing...WTF?!?! I just wanted to hit the guy.

not stock
not everyone buys vehicles to worship them. Some people actually buy them just cuase its fast or they think its cool, and could give a shit why/how it works.

being rude about it is another thing though...

yup, same deal happened to me when I was selling my old Ty.
went to the weekly car cruise some olddie shows up with a Ty thats never been cleaned under the hood.
Had no interest in talking about his maintenance or tune ups.
And his truck was for sale as well.
He took down his sign and left since no one was checkin it out...

I found another local grn/gry that is a family grocery getter, never gets washed. Has jiffy lube do the maintenance and midas do the brakes and repairs. That was a very short conversation...

Man Brandon. I hope that next time that guy goes up to the Pavilions that I am there so we can just bug the guy about being so obtuse about such a speciality vechile, I bet if you would have had you sy up there he would have changed his tune. He probably thought that you didn't really know as much as you really do.

Senseless voilence? Count me in!! Lol. Seriously, you shouldn't take it personally, some people have "social" disorders, and I'm sure that dickface took it the wrong way. Reminds me of a bumper sticker i saw- "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."

Thats weird cuz I've had my Ty for about 4-5 months now, and I haven't seen many. I know there was a Sy that was parked across the street on Chaparral but I haven't seen it in a few months. Do u guys ever meet at the car show or anything?

We're always at the Pavilions... But nobody normally brings their trucks, since they're all "in progress". We will DEFINITELY have a fast Sy running at Firebird and at the Pavilions in a week...

If you come to the Pavilions just look for a wierd lookin' bunch of guys usually gathering around a Turbo Buick and that'll be us. Or just bring your Ty to the Pavilions and you're sure to be mobbed by at least one of us. :D We're there by 7:00-7:30 usually and we split for eats/drinks around 8:30-9:00, so that's your window...

Where are the Pavilions, I'm new to AZ, live in Surprise. Is that 7 AM?

Thanks,

The Pavilions are on the 101 and Indian Bend. From Surprise, you'll want to find your way to the 101 and take it east for about 20 miles. It'll bend southward, keep on it for another 3 miles and you'll come to Indian Bend. Exit right into the shopping plaza and turn in at the first light you come to. It's really hard to miss...

Those times are PM... I can't remember the last time I was awake to see 7:00 AM. :D

Hey Rich! I was cleaning out my inbox and ran across your name - I know you're out here now - I've been REAL busy too, we should hook up - maybe take a ride out to the Pavillions and check out all the other Sy/Ty'ers in the Valley.

Have a good one everyone,

I assume this is me that you are talking about. and i find it interesting how people always bend the truth to make there story sound better. First of all i wasnt there to "show off" my Ty, i wasnt standing around it with the hood open waiting for people to talk to about it. I was there to look at other stuff. You did ask me how it was running, and i did tell you it wasnt running good, i told you i replaced the plugs and fp and i got them from checker and you left it at that (and its running fine now by the way, fuel pump and plugs did the trick), no offer for a wrench session. You asked me how long ive had it and i said almost 3 years, i never said i had no interest in them or why they are special, believe me if i just thought it was some ghetto 10 year old suv i would never have gotten it.
Also, i have nothing against meeting other owners, i answered all your question until the converstion was over then i left because i had already been there for an hour. And im sorry for not haveing the same automotive genius that you do to know that the fp from checker was really for a suburban.
I came back to this site to try and sell my Typhoon, but thanks to you and your libelous post about me and my truck i think my chances of that are all but shot :fist:
