The first Ty I saw was a neighbor or my buds back in 93/94. It was black with Teal lettering on the front window that said Oldsmobile, lol just kidding. Obviously it said Typhoon.

Waller's 8k mile Syclone in the Spring of 1997 and then (while on a mission trip in Alaska) Pete Gardepe tossed my 17 year old ass the keys to his Typhoon (white/grey back then) later that year. Let me burn 1/4 tank of gas and boost launch a couple of times. Met Hunter and Jamie that same day. Still on my Top 10 cool guys list.

My first car was a s10 blazer. I joined blazinlow and discovered what a Ty was. The first Ty I ever seen in person was the one I bought when I traveled across two states to pick it up!

Royal blue, but close I guess. :tup: I remember driving by a body shop there in Spokane, with a very-wrecked Sy sitting outside mid-90's. Actually drove a Sy for the first time in '98. Wouldn't own one til 10 years later.

First time I ever saw one was at Apple Blossom in Wenatchee in the summer of 93 or 94. I was riding shotgun in my buddy's brother's brand new Vette, when a guy pulled up next to us in an S10 Blazer with a body kit. We laughed, they launched, we stopped laughing. That about sums it up.

I was in high school, owned a 84 S10 I was making a sport truck. Read all about Syclones but never laid eyes on one until I went on a ski trip in spring of 92, stopped at a DIllons grocery store in Denver, there was one sitting in the parking lots sitting in there snow...I jizzed in my pants. :crazyeye:
 
Re: Anyone remember the first Sy or Ty you did gaze upon?

I was riding with my parents around 94 when I saw a Black/Grey Ty next to us in traffic. We didn't have the internet at the time, but I never forgot how nasty that Typhoon was. Eventually came across them online and then syty.net in '01.

OOps. Missed the color. That body shop you saw the Sy, was it on east Sprague? Might have been Glamour, next to Can-Am auto body. He owned a Sy, and it might have been a totaled he fixed from some 16 year old kids first vehicle.
