Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I’m glad you found us! The Stinger is going to be a nice upgrade from the Optima. I hope the next couple of days fly for you.

Definitely going to be tough.

Got to see it and touch it today when I went in to work out the extended warranty, 3M paint protection, etc.

Was tough to walk away .....

I bet. You might need some melatonin to sleep tonight.

Welcome and congrats!
You're living in the perfect place to enjoy twin turbos!

I lived in Calgary many years ago and still one of my most favourite places on earth.

Welcome to the hive! Post up some pics when you get it! and next time I'm in Calgary I'll wave lol

 

[mdwkelly]

Thanks and I agree although I drove back home from the West Coast (Vancouver Island) after putting the deposit down on my car and the whole drive home through all the curves and mountain passes all I could think about is how much "better" it will be in my Stinger. My Optima SX is no slouch but, well, .... it is not a Stinger

Will do on the pics.

Thankful I will still have a bit of time before we slide into winter driving. AWD will be great but nothing beats dry pavement to have a little fun.

Welcome. What colour? Calgary ah, I did a two year sentence there back in the mid 80’s. Snow’in yet?

 

[RedCal]

Don't forget lower air temperature too If yours comes with the PS4 tires you are going to need to get the winter boots on when the temps are hitting 10c

Got the Snow White Pearl. Optima is black and wasn't taken with the gray so white was the only choice left and after seeing it today it was a great choice. Had our first dusting on Saturday night. Forecast is for clear and cold for next 10 days or so so will be out driving steady

Gotta love those -40Cs. Already looking at winters for it but not 100% if it will get driven after the snow flies, this year. Too new and too pretty and will still have my Optima so that might be the winter driver this year.

Get some PPF on it asap to keep the stone chips at bay and I'd ceramic coat it to keep it shiny and easy to clean
