Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

Pulled into the grocery store parking lot and saw this bad boy! I could've gotten a better pic of the Federation but I had to show off these new shiny rotors. I love the look of them :thumbup:View attachment 59091
That is actually a very cool pic. :thumbup: (I wish that I could see a Fed Orange; but no luck so far; I saw another Micro Blue this afternoon southbound on the Bungler at c. 102nd South; saw the guy noticing me as I went past him where he was waiting in backed up traffic; but my camera was in a buttoned down shirt pocket - from when I was riding my bicycle earlier - so I missed a pic: he turned off the Bungler and I never saw him again.)

Saw a blue 18 or 19 near Boeing the other day while walking. Saw a '22 on I5 South of Seattle on Tuesday of last week. He was behind me for a while then eventually overtook and flashed a peace sign at me. I'd post a picture but I'm lazy.
 
This afternoon, westbound 9000 South, waiting for the light at 3400 West, another Micro Blue, 2.0L (might be the gal that works at the West Jordan City offices). One more this month, and I will have a new record for wild sightings in a single month: the current record is eight, tied with August 2020.

Seen the same white Stinger twice over the last month and another Aurora Black today on the way to work.

White on red yesterday behind me lower road North Van. We turned before I could peer into his eyeballs.
 
Saw another Aurora Black today. Maybe the same one as the day before. Still nice to see.

Saw this one out behind my house in the Murray park. Looks re-badged, wonder if it's anyone here?

Here in Maine I see them only extremely rarely. In fact, I see more C8 Corvettes than I see Stingers. :-(

But... the Kia dealers here are moving them (I watch the inventory closely; they're mostly GT-Line and GT1 models). I'm wondering if people are buying them and treating them as garage queens, saving them in pristine condition for the second owner to enjoy thinking they've made an investment. :rolleyes:
 
3:30 today, Marketplace Whittier. Judging by the plate, a 2018. I see a black 2.0 on the street fairly often, so I don't count this as a new find, and besides, I lost count sometime before the pandemic.IMG_0672.webp
 
One of the driving factors that lead me to purchasing a Stinger is the fact that they are very rare ( at least in my area ) but when I do see one in the wild I still get amazed by how nice they are and forget I even own one.

Sitting in the parking lot of Bingham Creek library, before seven o'clock, a Ceramic Silver westbound on 9000 South; had aftermarket wheels, they sure weren't OE wheels.

This afternoon at Costco on 10400 South and the Bungler Hwy; from Alberta, very buggy in front, as if he'd collected all of them from Alberta to Utah. He was standing beside his car referencing his cellphone when I said, "You'll excuse me for taking a picture." And he mumbled something that sounded like permission as he walked around me; he was preoccupied so I didn't bother him, outside or inside when I saw him again.

Me and my buddy at a Columbus, Cars, and Coffee event today. Sunny and perfect day! Only saw 2 other Stingers unfortunately. Hopefully, more come out to a future event.

Only two others? That means FOUR at one random Cars and Coffee: that is starting to look like a swarm. Rarity is threatened. :p

Our cars did get a lot of looks. Definitely a Buzz was going on.
