Introducing Myself and My New Stinger

[DJCurtis]

Hi guys, new to the forum. I'm from Alberta, Canada and traded in my 2012 Optima EX Turbo for a 2018 Stinger GT Limited. I've been watching this car since it came out, and the black Friday incentives pushed me into buying territory. It's my first performance car and I'm pretty stoked about it.

Before making the purchase I spent a bunch of time lurking this forum and found it really helpful!

The car's name is Leeloo!

Congrats. Nice color choice! Looks good in the white stuff. Free winters included?

Congratulations on the new car - looking good! Looks like you're already out there having some fun in the snow! Love the name - make sure you get her a Multipass ... !

Winter tires were included as part of the Black Friday incentive. Bought the rims.

Was thinking that MLT1PA55 would be a great plate for the back.

G’day, welcome to the forum & the Stinger Owners Fraternity, enjoy your new ride, but by looking at your picture that white stuff may take the joy out of it until you get well & truly into spring.

 

[DJCurtis]

Ya true enough. It comes with its own kind of fun, though. Drifting with zero rubber cost! Definitely looking forward to April when the winters will able to come off... maybe.

Congrats! With this Leeloo you will be doing a lot of multi-pass out on the road.

Hello and welcome. Nice rims. What are they?

They’re black painted Kia branded alloys. They looked good on the dealership manager’s car so I bought a set for my own!

Hi. Did you keep your OEM tires and rims for summer?

 

[DJCurtis]

Yes indeed! I think I prefer the overall look of the all black rims, but the stock rims are certainly nice too. Only thing that's got me a little vexed is that I think these ones might not have come with a TPMS system, as the TPMS warning light and message are on. Perhaps it just needed to be reset, but I can't find a way to do that in the owner's manual. Headed back to the dealership on Friday for a couple other things, so hopefully I can get that sorted out too.
