I cant wait to get mine in the mail. (It's coming....right Danyel?)
I told my grandson I got him a very special shirt about a very special guy and he promised me he would wear it......especially since his name is Tyler also!
Well, the family and I just came back from a week in sunny Florida at Walt Disney World. My wife and I took Tyler to Magic Kingdom with us! I actually had a stranger ask me if I was a part of the Tyler Toy project. He told me that he had seen it on YouTube! Tyler is everywhere!

THAT is too cool! I have had a few people stop me and ask about it. I even had a guy at a chinese restaurant a week ago stop me on my way up to the buffet and say "I love your shirt. I saw the story about the build."
Tyler has been everywhere with me. He helped me to finish my interior with the new carpet and leather seats, as well as helped me finish the stereo install.
Today, he went with me while I re-ran the stereo tuning in the car, and then since I am without computers at home, we went to see the new Alice in Wonderland.
Three people at the theater asked me if I was part of the build, since they had also seen the story and read about it.

That's freaking awesome! I also have had many people ask me about Tyler, including a gentleman I talked to at the Auto Show in Harrisburg who had his Laborghini Murcielago there, as well as his Ferrari, Bentley, and other high end cars.

Tyler went out with me this evening to dinner with a friend. On the way to drop her off at her house, I stopped for fuel. A Corvette pulled in behind me. The guy got out and started talking to me about the Project. He had seen it on the Corvette forums, Ricekiller, and several others. He has numerous friends he was cruising with, and they are all aware of it as well.
I passed word on the show, and created an account on RK.com to help spread the word.

Tyler helped me move from Minnesota to Wisconsin. He has also hung out with me as I have driven the country roads here with the windows down and the roof out on the Fiero...
Tyler has been a constant companion in anything Fiero related.. This weekend, Tyler will be attending the Car Show in Mora, MN with FieroHoHo and a few other Fiero people.. Both of my Tyler shirts will be there, one will be proudly displayed in/on my Fiero, and the other will be worn by me. I will also be handing out flyers at the show to help try and boost attendance at the Tyler show..

I haven't seen this thread before but let me tell you it hit me pretty hard... not in a bad way, just that so many people continue to love on Tyler. I don't wear my shirt a whole lot... I wear his senior class shirt that says Team Tyler - Get out and ride more. Jay wears his Tyler shirts all the time. Tyler is traveling all over everyday in your big 'ol hearts.

Tyler was with me this past weekend at the MAFOA Freysinger Pontiac show, and with my wife in New York City! Sadly, I don't have any pictures of him with me, but my wife got pictures of him with her by the Statue of Liberty that I will post on here soon.
Daneele, your family touched us all in so many ways, we are privileged to be a part of your lives. Can't wait to see you guys in July!

Wore it at Cars and Coffee in Chanhassen on June 5th and Samitarian Trie Show yesterday. Raining both days so I didn't feel like dragging out the camera especially with the wife's broken foot.
It does serve as a good conversation starter about the Tyler story.

One looked and said "Ok, I'm curious. What was the the Tyler Project?" and the other asked something similar. The line was moving pretty good so I didn't have much time to talk about it but both that I talked to, and a couple that was listening, said wow, what a story.
Wearing dresses by designer Bob Mackie, three female models also posed for the cameras. Mackie, who is known for dressing a number of celebrities, including Cher, originally designed the dresses to be worn in the 1983 North American International Auto Show. At the time, the dresses were worn by auto-show models presenting the two-seat Pontiac Fiero.
Provided by the Productions Plus agency, the dresses will soon be donated to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich.
I didn't see the dresses but I will when they go to to the museum, I will take pics. One gentleman in a blue blazer was walking towards me and as he passed he said, 'nice t-shirt. good story.' He walked over the rope before I could say anything.
Tyler was most definitely with us throughout the weekend. The show has received accolades from the community people I spoke with, and I just can't quit blubbering at how well it went.
