Very pleased to have joint the forum.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your new Stinger GT! What will the Stinger be replacing for you? I’m glad you found us.

The Stinger is an addition to the very plain garage we have, it’s not replacing anything.
I’ve bought it as an early retirement gift for me.
I’m an Engineer in manufacturing, but like to play around nice cars for a hobby.

Great choice for a reliable head turner to retire with. Congratulations!

Still getting used to this forum, here’s the photo I was supposed to attach to the last post.

Yeah terrible weather. It's only 11C here today in Melbourne. That makes it also the coldest day of the year and there is two months of winter to go

Crank those heated seats and steering wheel up. I have the My23 versions but still it is hit and miss on getting the Climate Control to control them.

Cooling no problem but I have only had the climate control actually control the heated seats and heated steering wheel once. I suspect it has to be on Auto and fresh air. I don't use Auto because it turns the aircon OFF and I run it 365. All the settings are correct through the screen.

Same I decided to move to the country and get away from the city @ 47. I work with software and from home. I had a Toyo Tundra and used it for what it was made for in the first 5 years I was here (towing, moving, landscaping projects you name it) that was a great truck! But then I found that I was just driving it, but didn’t really need a truck anymore. Bad gas mileage etc. I decided I wanted to get back into a fun project car, that I could tune and enjoy for under 50k all in. I’ve never regretted it at all! After a bit of work, my stinger purrs like a kitten, and is pretty seriously fast in its category. I GAP “higher performance” and more expensive cars when I get the chance. It’s just such a pleasure to drive. Not sure anything compares at this price point, and with the flexibility it offers.
