Joined the club yesterday (although I've been driving a Stinger for a week now - loaner) I got mine yesterday. I got a Ceramic Silver GT2 AWD. Our other cars are a Sedona SX-L, an Explorer Sport Trac XLT, and a 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII (last year of the big Healey.)

I'm also a percussionist, a DeadHead, and have twin 8 year old for whatever that is worth.

Twins are worth an incalculable amount.
Drummer, eh? (percussionist, that's like a flute player calling themselves a flautist. )
DeadHead: Grateful Dead derivative? Your OP was not boring, so not that kind.
Why did you have a Stinger loaner before even owning one?
Oh, and welcome!

Welcome.

Welcome. Let the twins know that the Stinger has a 10 year warranty... so by the time they're 16

Yes, I play drums but I used percussionist because I also play or have played mallet percussion (marimba, vibes, xylophone, etc.). Dealer loaned me a 2018 gt2 awd while I waited on delivery of a 2019 gt2 awd. Told them I'd buy elsewhere if they didn't loan me a car. They did, it had 2k miles.

That's a first: holding "loan me a car till mine gets here, or I'll walk!" as leverage. Funny!
How many miles did the loaner have after you gave it back. Curious minds want to know.

So I put about 230 miles on it in a week. It actually ended with 21something and startes at 18something.

You were kind and conservative. You could have easily doubled that in a week.

Considering I put almost 100 miles on mine the first day I had it. It was just about what I ended up needing to do those days more than anything else.

Welcome!

Out of curiosity, and since you’re a drummer, what does Spontaneous Combustion Insurance go for nowadays?
