Hello! New Stinger Owner!

[ldusseau]

Hello, my name is Lisa Dusseau and I am soon to be a Stinger 2018 GT2 owner. I currently drive a 2010 BMW 328xi with a manual transmission. It's been a fun car to drive, but it's got 136K miles and the cost of ownership is too rich for my blood anymore. I had been looking at Audis, started with the S3 but it was too small. Was talking with my co-worker about cars and he suggested the Stinger. Test drove a GT2 and L-O-V-E-D it! Then I test drove an Audi A5 because I play hockey and really need a hatchback. The Audis are nice, but they didn't bring a smile to my face like the Stinger does; they are too "civilized". I used to drive one of the original american turbos, a Chrysler Laser with the 2.2L turbo, I loved the "whine" of the turbo and I really love the way the Stinger "growls". I kept looking for the right one and finally found a unicorn, a highchroma red 2018 with less than 10K miles. It is pristine inside and out. Taking possession on Wednesday contingent on it passing the PPI which I have no doubt. I can hardly wait to get it!

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your new Stinger GT! That's going to be a nice upgrade from the 2010 BMW 328i. Man, I haven't seen a Chrysler Laser in a LONG time! I'm glad you found us.

Me too. I was a member of a BMW forum and I found it to be a great source of information. I also like how there's a "shop" pull down menu here, I'm already looking at some add ons like the led front intakes, the chin spoiler and a bunch of others.

Awesome! It's always nice when another "forumer" finds us. We seem to be a rare breed these days.

Welcome to the hive! and congrats, great colour choice too! - I just might be a bit biased however

Howdy and welcome. A MY18 with low miles and pristine, in the Stinger signature color. Sounds like a winner to me.
