Hi, New Guy from Florida Traded a 2018 GT for a 2022 GT2

[Stinger Happy]

I'm old, first traded my Corvette C7 for a 2018 GT then went for the 2022 GT2.
After owning 9 Vettes I couldn't believe I was buying a 4-door 6 cyl car. Wife was looking to buy a Kia and while we were there I took the Stinger out for a spin. I had never even heard of the Stinger, wife really liked it, so she got her Forte and I the Stinger. This was back in 2018, then in 2021 we went back to dump her car as we don't do all that much driving and now we both drive the '22. I may, at some point, get a new Vette, garage seems too empty.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your second new Stinger! I’m glad you found us. And I’m glad you liked it enough to buy another…

Well, to tell you the truth I actually tried joining twice and both times I gave up. First problem was that match the picture thing, only problem was I couldn't see what I was supposed to match (top of that thing was 90% cut off.) Then I wasn't able to enter my year of birth, guess you didn't want anyone from the 1800s.

You're in Florida and you traded a C7 in for a Stinger??? Welcome aboard but you sound crazy to me

If I lived someplace warm, I'd drive something sporty at least 75% of the time. Maybe I'd leave it in the garage on rainy days though. Hell, as much as I like driving my awd gt, I'm gonna feel sad in a couple days when I put up the Lightning for the winter.

I understand your reasoning. Before I left NJ I sold my Harley Fatboy, people here are generally old and I didn't feel like getting creamed!! My friend who already lived in Florida said I was crazy when I could drive my bike almost all year. Maybe I sometimes do things a little backward but that is what makes me more lovable.

How far is that from Land O Lakes? That's where my Ma lives. Probably where I'll move to at some point. My wife is already done with MN winters and winter hasn't even started yet.
