The Stinger has become my work horse

[TheBusch]

Proud to stay that I am officially an owner of a duplex here in central Ohio. It definitely isn’t free of flaws, but its a good score in this insane market. I will be living in the smaller side while renting out the larger one. The Stinger’s hauling capability is really shining through with all the removal work. Also great for driving my very expensive hardware around. Should have gotten the orange one, I’m basically a sponsor for Home Depot at this point.

Congratulations/best luck. You got the right color.

Careful of your bumper; maybe get it PPF covered if you're going to be putting in and taking out a lot of material and hardware, etc.

If I had 2 kids, it wouldn’t work, but with a wife, infant and dog, yeah, the thing makes a damn fine family car for all our crap.

I'm hoping to make it work with 2 kids and my dog is 167 pounds. Dog will lay down in the passenger seat and my two boys will be in their booster chairs in the back with all the crap in the hatch.

Pro tip: get 3d molded floor mats that cover the entire carpet floor. Will thank me later when you are removing that week old snickers bar... The carpet just gets dirty so fast. Also my rules for no shoes on the seats or the dash need constant reminding otherwise the red nappa will become black nappa.

I could see that setup working; my wife is usually in the passenger seat and our 80lbs dog in the back.

I (obviously) have no idea, but I assume packing needs change, too, by the time the kids are using booster seats. Right now, I feel like we’re still taken an entire bedroom set with us anytime we go on an overnight trip.

That said, a roof rack and cargo box might be a good investment for you. I’ve got my efforts to find all the components of Thule setup documented in another thread. Ping me if you have any questions and I’d be happy to help if I can.

And, +1 for the floor mat suggestion from General Vodka there.

That's a damn fine looking automobile.
