Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

Today I was driving, more like slowly moving, North on the 405 freeway in West Los Angeles. When what do I see in my right side mirror a white Tiger Nose fast approaching on my right. I slowed as the the right lane was ending and a white GT slid in, in front of me. I honked and flashed as I believe the white wonder did also. Our formation driving didn’t last long as the next exit was mine. Still this was my first full moving encounter.
Are you here?
 
Saw the same Black GT this morning, but saw another Micro Blue in Boca Raton this evening. Flashed my lights but don’t think they saw me. Happy to see more Stingers around town.:thumbup:

Well, if you discount the one I saw just outside the Kia Stinger Experience race event, and the one I saw just pulling out of a Kia dealership, then I finally saw my first Stinger in the wild last night in Gaithersburg, MD. Looks like a ceramic silver awd GT2, which I notice is now missing from the local dealerships website, so it looks like a new sale. Incidentally they STILL have the yellow GT2 I initially offered them 48k for but they wouldn't budge from MSRP, but it now listed at $45k. Damn my impatience!

Why is that yellow even for sale?

You mean because of the paint issue? The Service Campaign for the respray just hit today it looks like, but it's not an actual recall in America so I suppose it'll be on a case-by-case basis. No mandate that they have to pull it off the lot I suppose.
 
Saw one like I said before...prob much more in south west suburbs. I wold guess.
 
Finally saw another one in Cincinnati yesterday. I was headed downtown from north on 71S around 545pm. Red. Nice color.. I had only seen mag picture of red. Its actually a pretty nice red. I'm still happy with my color.
 
I did a 150mi round trip today and didn’t see one. I did get a “that’s a beautiful car” from the valet, though. :cool:

I was challenged by my husband and I that we would not see Stinger until our order stinger came, but yesterday we saw a white stinger and tried to attach up and could not because it was driving fast. When I saw Stinger on the ground it was a strange and interesting feeling I remembered this song(I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it:whistle:)

Yesterday, was an exciting day, even though I lost the bet. we made that bet on 25th December that "we will own one - before we see one". I was so close to winning, our stinger order is coming in 2 weeks.
You didn't mentioned how you kept screaming so loud ;) , But in her defense, I startled her..
I was driving, and suddenly in front of me was a white Stinger, I was confused for a moment, I thought I was watching a YouTube video. I Just couldn't comprehend that moment, so my mind just lagged-glitched, and in that moment my mind though the best way to deal with such scenario is to yell my lungs out saying “STINGEEEERRRRR.. STINGEEEERRRRR.. STINGEEEERRRRR..”
My mind did not even have the decency to tell where it was.

:DHaha.. That was the feeling exactly.
 
Finally! This morning on the way to work, I saw my first Stinger in the wild! It was a black GT. We saw each other and gave the thumbs up to each other. It was in Chicago. I was traveling east on Hollywood and he was going west. I have had mine since May 8 and this was my first sighting. Was a good start to my day!

Closest I've come in four months. The Yellow that sold the same week as I bought my car, was traded in for a Sorento (no known reasons why). Anyway, the licence plate is still on it, and we have made a sandwich out of some sort of Kia SUV (I am not a car guy, actually). But it still isn't a genuine "wild" sighting, because this is a dealership.
Stinger Sunset Yellow, we meet again.webp

Maybe his paint was falling off.
