Joining The Family

[Koopa]

Hey all just wanted to introduce myself. You can call me Koopa!

Tomorrow I'll (hopefully) be coming home with a new 2019 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD in Ceramic Silver!

My current car is a 2006 Scion tC that I've owned since 2010. It has been a nice little car for the past 9 years but I'm ready for a long awaited upgrade. I've always been a sports car enthusiast and after a few weeks of extensive research on which sports car I wanted to invest in, I landed on the Kia Stinger...and it's a sedan! (Thanks redditors!)

After seeing someone recommend it, I did some research on it and fell in love immediately. Features that I would normally go after (Manual transmission, coupe) weren't offered in the Stinger but I didnt even care because of the sheer engineering brilliance of this car not to mention the technology and what's under the hood. Needless to say I was sold.

This is such a great car and I cant wait to join the family!

P.S. Love that colour by the way.

 

[Koopa]

Thanks Nasscar!
I really love this color. I wanted my next car to be white but the ceramic silver just stood out to me. The one I'm looking at doesnt have the red interior that I wanted but I'm not upset haha!

Welcome to the Stinger family Koopa, my stinger is the same config, ceramic grey and nappa black. That's a badass color!

 

[Koopa]

Thanks everyone! I will keep the post updated with info on the purchase when I can.

Very cool @Tonton-Fr ! I plan to rebadge mine as well. I love the way the Korean Stinger logo looks on this car.

You will love the car. I have a ceramic silver with red interior. Get ready to receive lots of compliments on the car at gas stations, parking lots and even stop light.

Hi, Pooka. You didn't say that you've done a test drive yet. I was slowly sold on the Stinger throughout the winter of '18; but it was only the test drive that made me believe.

I think its Koopa Merlin.

I think its Koopa Merlin.

I know. I just think that pookas are very, very cool.

 

[Nasscar]

What is a pooka??

 

[MerlintheMad]

What is a pooka??

My car, I suspect.

"Pooka - from old Celtic mythology - a fairy spirit in animal form - always very large. The pooka appears here and there - now and then - to this one and that one - a benign but mischievous creature - very fond of rumpots, crackpots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson? 'How are you, Mr. Wilson?' Who in the encyclopedia wants to know?!" - Wilson, from the film Harvey.

 

[Nasscar]

I should never have asked.

 

[Koopa]

Lol Pooka is pretty cool. I get Koopa from the Mario Bros. Universe

I havent test drove it @MerlintheMad but will be in a couple hours! I have a feeling it will be the same for me. I've seen others driving this car for the first time and the look on their faces is nothing short of what mine will look like once I'm behind the wheel. In doing my research I didnt find ANY other car that gave people that same excited feeling that the Stinger GT did.
