Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

In one month of ownership in Los Angeles, I have seen only two other Stingers on the road; both were blue, like my GT2 AWD baby. One southbound in the fast lane of the 5 Fwy north of dodger Stadium....I was northbound in the fast lane, so we went by very quickly, couldn't tell the spec., no time to wave. Second one, my wife and I were eating in a Chinese restaurant on Valley in Alhambra. Mine was parked right out front of the panoramic windows. Saw an identical blue Stinger go by on same side, passing right by mine. Rather surreal. I yelled happily, startled the wife and staff (restaurant was almost empty at early hour). If'n y'all are in L.A., and see a blue GT2 AWD go by with two Dodger flags on it as well as Dodger plate frames and LA badge, that will likely be me. Give a honk and wave (if safe to do so) and I will wave back! ;)
Right on. If visiting the area this Crescent City boy will look for your car.

Given the places you mention being, we're bound to pass each other eventually, and you'll be hard to miss! I've never seen a blue one, except on my dealer's lot, and am looking forward to a wild siting.

Just spotted the first one other than mine in my town. Parked next to me at the grocery store...

But I'm driving the Sorento today, of course :confused:

Still haven't seen any others in the DC/MD/VA area myself outside of dealerships and the Stinger Experience Tour, but I got my hair cut last week and my barber said he saw me driving mine a week prior if that counts?
 
Would great if US member's added they city/town and state to their profile, so we can see if anyone here are neighbors.

Agreed, but you gotta lead by example. Update that info so we know if you're in NYC or upstate somewhere.

Done.
 
Me and my wife went to the beach for dinner in Belmar NJ. I saw a Red GT cruise by with NY tags. I saw you buddy....

Finally saw one. I was at a stop light at 1:15 pm on Saturday afternoon northbound on Atlanta road at the east west connector.

I was jawing at v2.0, so I didn’t see him til he was past me turning right and honking and waving. All I had time to do was wave at his tail lights.

White gt. Was it anybody in here?
 
Finally after almost 5 weeks in, finally saw a Micro Blue Premium driving down 66 West towards Gainsville at about 3:45 PM tonight.

Have had my Babe since Jan 7th, and still only one other sighting that I posted before. Crazy to think after all this time still only a single sighting. Where are my Northern VA Stinger neighbors?

Same here, I've just seen the ceramic 1 time right down the street from where I live, haven't seen him or any other since.

Since becoming aware I’ve only seen one. It was leaving the building driveway I was entering. Too fast to get details, it was white. UCLA campus medical area. Now I see at least one every day .

I have actually seen quite a few Stingers in the DMV. A blue 2.0 heading opposite of me on I-495. Followed by a black and red GT heading south together on 270 but I'm pretty sure they were being driven south for a sale with dealer tags etc. A black premium on rt40 in Frederick the other day and just yesterday I saw a ceramic GT2 in buckeystown pike in Frederick as well. Car has presence man! My wife was like "isn't that the car you want?" and a single tear fell down my face, I looked at her and said "yes, one day....yes" LoL!
 
Speaking of 270, an older woman in the Giant grocery parking lot right off 370 yesterday saw my yellow Stinger and said "you can't hide from the cops with that color"
 
Finally drove through the parking lot to check out the Stinger I've repeatedly seen parked at the local 24-hour eatery, and was glad to find that it's a 2.0, not a GT like mine. So mine preserves its exclusivity at least for a while longer--although I'm always thrilled to see another.
