Hey gang!

[Jackson Browne]

I live in the Tulsa, OK area. I bought my blue 2019 Kia Stinger GT AWD in March of 2020. I love it!
I have lurked the site a few times, most recently about a week ago when I went in for the pipe recall on the drivers side turbo.
I doubt I'll post much, but figured I should register.
My car tag starts with JXB, so I've always called my Stinger "Jackson Browne". Love his music, love the car.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for finally signing up. So what did the Stinger replace for you?

 

[Jackson Browne]

Good question! Sorry for what will most likely be a complicated answer.
My daily driver at the time was a 1998 Honda Accord. In March 2020, I drove the car I bought my son for High School, a 1998 Honda Civic, the 5 hours to Lawrence, Kansas, where I saw an ad for my Stinger. I traded in the Civic for $250, which I was happy with. It was an old, high mileage 4 cylinder beater, and my son had bought himself a better car for college. I've put 15,000 miles on the Stinger since I purchased it. It spends a lot of time in the garage, but I get it out at least once a week. It's my baby. I continued driving the Accord until I purchased a brand new 2020 Nissan Frontier Pro 4X on clearance in November of 2020, and sold the Accord for $1,000.
I guess in the big picture, I don't think the Stinger replaced anything. It was a gift to myself to enjoy.

Well that’s a great gift to yourself and a big upgrade to the 1998 Honda Accord. I’m guessing the Nissan Frontier is treating you well. Lots of great vehicles come out of Japan - but now South Korea as well.

The Frontier is great, no complaints. It's low tech, but runs and drive very nicely. The 3.8 V6 generates around 310 HP. A definite change from the Stinger, but not really a dog. It's very reliable, nice leather interior, comfortable.

What Stinger do you own?

A Stinger never came to be for me. My mother past away somewhat suddenly and I inherited her car - which I’ve been driving ever since.

Anything with 300hp has enough power to move a vehicle these days. The Frontier is big but 300hp does the job.
