Greg W (Shuggs) and Merk. I think I shook Greg's hand first - but he didn't own a SyTy.

So...Merk.

Dameon was the first sytyer I met. Back in 2001 shortly after I bought my first Ty, and became a member of the "boards" at the time. He was the closest owner on there. We met to check out each others trucks and wrench a bit..... 11 years, countless trucks and hours of wrenching later.... we are best of friends and partners in Sportmachines.

Although I no longer own mine, and it was a few years back, I met a bunch of guys in Michigan at the Woodward Dream Cruise. It was my first time there and had no idea what we were getting into. Rolling down Woodward Avenue with about 10-15 others was awesome. The cops kept us together and let us run red lights, similar to a funeral proccession.

Re: Who's the first sytyer you met...?

I remember driving back from the car cruise in Ocean City MD probably 1999 or 2000 in my turbo crx. We hit some traffic and the highway was backed way up. I saw an "s10" with huge tires under it so i passed a bunch of cars on the shoulder to get up next to it. Denny (Sycho) was in the passenger seat with I think his Wife driving the truck. We shot the shit a couple minutes as i asked about his truck.

I had just been told by my insurance company that the 93 Corvette I had a loan for and was supposed to pick up for $11,000 was going to cost $6500 a year in insurance so I thought "i bet one of those Syclones would be cheap to insure and could be made pretty quick." Joined the mailing list when i got home. Randy Gilbert (i think his username was Ghostrider) was selling his truck. I had the money so I jumped on it.

After them, I think the next sytyer I met would have been Morgan up at Hooters in 2002.
