Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

I grew up in the SF valley, our cruise soot was Van Nuys blvd.

I remember that, too! Those were the days. Much more civilized than the current intersection take-overs and street and freeway racing we have around here lately.

Facelift North of Seattle. Followed it for a good way.

Without the Prius there'd be half as many cars on the road.

Lookin' forward to one day taking on the dragon!

So many cool sites to see, just have to decide on what to check out first. I haven't even driven my Stinger around town yet. Just got my plates the other day.

Saw a red one yesterday (Mar. 27, 2023) in Jackson, California. We waved at each other. Usually don't see too many around my area, I know of a white one that is parked usually when I go to the CVS on Hwy 49, I think he must work in that strip mall.
Either of you on here?

i dont like the lowered and cambered look or whatever its called where the wheels look like they will fall off. odd choice of wheel color, black wheels would look better on that car. it just looks riced out. i dont like the 2 tone look, when people put carbon fiber hoods and its a different color than the body. looks cheap.

“Dislike” means you disapprove of a members post, not simply disliking the style of the car.

Idk, I think it looks pretty clean. Besides the wheels, which I'd agree black would look better. I honestly feel it's less riced out then a lot of Stingers that I see on here or on YouTube. I like that it's slammed but has a tasteful front lip, not some over the top crazy looking thing. All those side skirt/winglet things that I see on Stingers look more rice then anything imo.

Saw a ceramic silver around noon as I was leaving Sprouts in E. Whittier. Caught up at the next light and had our own little Stinger parade for about a mile. We're both tinted, so I couldn't see the driver.

Even more of a rarity, shortly after and westward, I saw an old guy walking two pack mules (complete with packs) along the Whittier Blvd. sidewalk. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

What model year were they?

What model year were they?

By the looks of them, probably '93s.

No sightings to report in my area. Haven’t seen one single dang Stinger (other than mine) for a few weeks now. Weather is warming up a bit so I’ve been out on the balcony in the later afternoons and nothing not a single Stinger to be seen. A couple Lambo’s went by yesterday if two doors is your thing. Where all the Stinger hiding.

Probably in garages, I know a few people who don’t daily drive their Stingers and keep them either as weekend fun cars or “appreciate” them in their garages.

I don’t think that’s the case here. We really don’t get a winter other than our annual one or two days of snow that hangs around for a day or two. Mostly rains here. We’ve got a local Stinger Winger meet on the 15th so I’ll see if any new enthusiasts have spawn over the winter.
