Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

^^You'll get well ventilated on a motorcycle. All that fresh air passing through. My hair is thinning, so a typical haircut for the last few years has been a 1.5mm guard on the clippers, all around - talk about minimal maintenance.

Had an M class since 21. Bikeless now for 10 years. There is a bike somewhere in my future but not while I reside in this wretched state (geographic, not mental).

Around here, flashing lights at someone may be construed the wrong way. Need to be on the look out for boogymen (some are female too) and carjackers. Just read in the new a city neighborhood few miles east of here had a series of carjackings.. CPD investigating series of Jefferson Park, West Rogers Park armed robberies, Chicago carjacking

We heard that about flashing headlights around here, but on follow-up the rumors turned out to be unfounded or at least unprovable. I'm really just kidding about my frustration with others' cluelessness to the brother/sisterhood of the Stinger. I'm usually too intent on managing L.A. County traffic to have time to acknowledge other owners myself, and try as much as possible to avoid directly interacting with others on the road. But every once in a great while, it's fun to acknowledge a Stinger.

That said, the last two times I saw a significant number of motorcycles around here (other than the guy who lives south of me who sets off a neighbor's car alarm every Sunday morning at six a.m.), it was groups of Mongols who pretty much surrounded my Stinger at stop lights as I looked straight ahead and pretended to be oblivious and concentrating on working the radio channels on the screen.

Last week I saw a G70 on the autobahn near Dresden (Germany) - the first one I ever see live. Looks mega clean.
And then in Krakow (Poland) I saw this white '21 Stinger somewhere in the old jewish ghetto. The whole scene looked a little sad with the bad parking, dirty car, horrid weather and the run down building in the back.
Otherwise Krakow is a gorgeous city! And I did see a second Stinger in ascot green later that night but was too excited to take a picture

My anxiety spikes up seeing cars parked so close to each other. Must have at least 6-8' on either side of me (front/back).

European cities were definitely not built for the size of cars people are driving today. I’m never more concentrated than at the entrance/exit of almost any eu parking garage. You usually have about 10 cm clearance on each side. The 360 camera is a real blessing

This is my garage exit if I do not align it properly. Otherwise I have about 5-10 cm.
It was built for a vw Golf size car, at the max.

Seems about right. Was driving around what was basically a VW golf in Italy. A couple of times I swore I was going to wind up getting it stuck in a couple places.

I see so many now it’s ridiculous.. law of attraction I guess

^^Must be a western suburb thing. In the last 15 months have still seen just a handful around here (closer to the ghetto).

When I was visiting my in-laws back in late October in Slovakia, my Brother-in-law said he thought his Škoda Scout was a big car--and it is much smaller than my Stinger--not to mention my wife's Mach-E. Definitely a different mindset when it comes to cars out there. Granted, he could walk to work--same with my mother and father in law before they retired. No such luck here.

But Christ, Allah, and Odin that is a tight fit! I really hope you don't ding your ride!

I have a rubber protective "wall" on the other side so I usually have slightly more clearance
But yes, I also walk to my office and to everywhere. If it's more than a 20 min walk then I take an electric trottinette. The Stinger is only used for extra-urban mobility.

Had that happen to me just south of DC in Virginia. Drove next to a lady in a Stinger for a good 3-4 miles, and she never once looked over my way to even give a wave.

As i missed the opportunity to get a picture of the Ascot Green that ignored me next to her running down the highway, my wife sent me this pic.
