Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

No pics, I don't do pics. But you have to know that the past five days have been very uncommon. I have seen five Stingers in five days, three Micro Blue, one High Chroma Red and a White Pearl with black wrap on upper surfaces. Two of these wild sightings have been today. Five, and not a Ceramic Silver in the bunch. Weird. I can go for weeks on months and never see one, then suddenly this collection all close together. The HCR was the only tatty one, it was filthy and the front plate was bent all to crap. I passed it parked on the side of the road I was bicycling. I could have stopped and examined it, but I didn't want to see more details after the little bit I caught in passing.

I have yet to see a banged up Stinger. Wouldn't it be nice if I/we never do? Virtually all that I have seen all these years have been in good shape, and the vast majority of them have been clean if not pristine.

There’s a Hi Chroma Red that must live near by me, cause I see it regularly. Black front bumper, dented right rear qtr panel, with a spare on the left rear. Been like that for months. Well to be honest, that’s the only way I’ve seen it.

We saw a pink one too in our home town. Gt 1 with a chameleon thermochromic paint job. Not my cup of tea but pretty cool. Lately, I've seen a

green, white, grey and a silver one in the town that I work in. Seems like people are picking these up more in the used market.

I can't remember the last time of the two or three times in seven years that I've seen three Stingers in one day, but this evening driving with my wife, she saw the Stinger first, sitting in the left turn lane as we passed it turning right. I couldn't scope it out. It was a dark color but not Black Pearl, and she thought it looked "greenish", so, probably an Ascot Green, which would make it only the second one I've ever seen.

I have seen the Ascot Green one a few times. Tribute edition with the beige interior.

I double-checked a detail I remember from last night's "wild sighting". The GT wheel was the original style, not the refresh, so, unless the owner exchanged wheels for whatever reason, that wasn't an Ascot Green we saw. My best guess is that it was Indigo.

Haven't seen many Stinger's in a while but since when did they put a manual in the g70? Was watching this auction last week.

I thought it has always been an option from the very beginning, if you select the small engine.

Oh really??? Didn't know that was a thing, certainly haven't seen any, besides this one. Owner claims it's a 1 of 100 car. Pretty cool.

Always haters of our cars though. Anytime I'm on cars and bids and a G70 (mostly) pops up on there, always a comment or two, "why is this on here?" "This is not an enthusiasts car." Plenty of cars on there that aren't enthusiasts cars, seen a few tractors on there, plus other cars that are pedestrian transportation No comments about them ever.
