Still a great story. Several of us have sent messages to Boyd, inviting him back for the 5th. As far as I know he has made some positive responses but not a firm commitment. I think we should encourage him to attend by sending welcoming messages to KARE 11 and his FaceBook page.....someone have his home phone number, email address?
Lady's and gentlemen. I have come here today to regrettably inform you that my ugly mug will not be stealing the show again this year, as we are unable to make it.
We've been hit with the most ridiculous string of bad luck I've ever personally experienced in the last few weeks which has in turn made our plans to attend this year a financial impossibility.
I hope the show is a bigger success than years prior and that everyone has a blast. Drink one for me!
Damn... was really looking forward to seeing you 2 again I hope the luck changes for the better and it all works out. Trust me, I will have a drink for you..... probably more

Well I knew it would be to good to be true. I broke welds off on my cradle that holds the rear tie-rod end. There is no way for me with my schedule to drop the cradle and deal with it. I will be coming up with out my car this year

So sorry to hear that, especially with the mad scramble you had to go thru last year. If you want to trailer my 88GT up you are welcome to drive it for the weekend.
Ouch, sorry to hear that.... However what's in bold is the important part
Thanks John. In the big picture this is so petty and things could be a lot worse. Luckily when it decided to snap i was backing out of the driveway. I really do have a great time while I am there and to see all my Fiero friends again is great.

Thanks Jeff. It would be really nice to have a car to drive in the parade. . Plus if your 3800 breaks down we will have a trailer. Let's figure this out.

The website just got a face lift !!! I am officially announcing that the Show site and Tylerstoy.com will merge into one ..... presently the car show site is complete tylerstoy.com will merge into it soon ..... take a look and please all you suggestions will be considered
Looking good Danyel! Very clean and professional looking.
Will TylersToy.com domain name remain active, and forward to TylerShipmanMemorialCarShow.com? It is a little easier to give that one out to people when asking someone to check out the site

Looks pretty good. Checked it out on both desktop and mobile browsers. You should just 301 redirect tylerstoy.com to the show site so google SEO stays happy.

It looks like RAREW66 and Annette will be joining the Friday caravan due to obligations on Thursday in Iowa. This is the updated list of Friday caravaners, did I forget anyone? Anyone else is welcome to come along or join in along the way :
I had a chance to talk to a few of the caravaners and we are thinking of meeting at this point (below) which is a block From GTGeffs home. It sounds like most can arrive by 12:30, does a depart time of 1pm sound ok? That should give infinitewill enough time. It doesnt sound like we will need to stop at JPs but will be able to go straight up to Frazee except for a gas or restroom stop.
This location is a parking lot large enough for RAREW66's trailer.
16200 Berger Dr Eden Prairie, MN 55347

Yeah, it really needs to be a week or more . For the 10th in 5 years, I am guessing we will all show up about July 4th. What do you think Nellie, can you put up with us? We will help collect the eggs.

if you show up on the 4th you would have to do much more than collect eggs - you would have to mow the lawn, clean the house/garage and fetch my drinks

hahahahahaha good one he walked right into it.... WAITER !!!! one cold one please

No problem.... I can get Cassie to collect the eggs for me, Get Carter to mow the grass for me, get Jay to straighten up the garage, and I will gladly bring you your drinks...... I can just not guarantee in any way that they will arrive with anything left in them
I am getting so stoked for the trip and seeing everyone again. I called poor Andrew yesterday, and got his voice mail. I left a voice mail something like "Andrew... been trying to get ahold of you! It's Tuesday afternoon and I am still at the airport.... where are you?.... Do me a favor, relax, it's NEXT Tuesday, still a week away... give me a call back when you get a chance"

I must admit that did give me a scare.

A fellow "dance mom" who is an amazing photographer as well as print framer and artist, donated this for our "raffle" at my house. I know this isn't going to appeal to everyone - really only to the people in the picture probably - so I think we will raffle this separate from the rest of the "stuff" which now also includes a couple slave cylinders from Rodney D. I got a little teary eyed when I saw it so thought I would share
This is slightly off topic but today is Tyler's 23rd birthday. For those of you who don't "know me" on Facebook I wanted to share a little video thing I made. My post on Facebook reads as this: Today is Tyler's 23rd birthday and I am so grateful I got to be the mom of this awesome boy and I miss him every single day. Because this world is so much bigger than just us and our loss, to celebrate Tyler's life today I took a couple hours off work and gave blood to maybe help someone else who is hurting and sick. If you are Tyler's friends or family, take a few minutes today to do something for another person.... carry someone's groceries, call and wish a friend or neighbor a good day, drop a couple dollars in a donation bucket - whatever works for you. Today I am celebrating a life well lived and to brighten someone else's day is a perfect way to do that.
So I encourage you to find a way today to do something nice for someone else - say its from Tyler
I hope the luck changes for the better and it all works out. Trust me, I will have a drink for you..... probably more 
. Plus if your 3800 breaks down we will have a trailer. Let's figure this out.
