Utah Stingers

Ah, that must have been the Jerry Seiner one; or it's just a coincidence that a "nurse" at the VA is a different nurse from the one that bought the Yellow at the end of March, then traded it back to Jerry Seiner three or four months later. They sold it back to Kia.

I came really close to buying a yellow GT AWD in May (in Idaho) cause that's the color I really wanted. It was my understanding Yellow was ONLY in GT. Didn't know there were yellow GT2 AWD, which I found in California after I bought my HiChroma Red. I LOVE my car and the color, but I wish I knew a Yellow GT2 AWD could have been mine .

P.S. Young Kia in Layton had a Yellow GT AWD during early months on this year.

The Yellow at Jerry Seiner was a GT. If it had been at least a GT1 I'd have been driving a Yellow all this time. AWD was preferable but negotiable. A GT lacks the sunroof and 15 speaker surround sound, which were non negotiable.

When I was researching them, Yellow was only for GT. The site now says Yellow in GT and GT2 only. No GT1.

Yep. I know that if the Yellow had been a GT2, I would have paid the extra for all that nanny crap that I don't want or need, just to get the Yellow.

The Silky Silver has grown on me. I really like it alot.

Haven't seen a yellow one. Saw one visiting us from Canada, and another black one with a rebadge.

So...saw a white one today. Then later on the 215 coming into taylorsville i look in the rear view and there is a black stinger with what looked like the E badges. Guy pulls up to say "whats up!" - its cool to see so much camaraderie around this car. Never had that with my BMWs or Audi's.

@Gordo's Black has the "E" badges.

@MerlintheMad was right. That was me @Deisic . I snapped a quick pic of your car as I was sneaking up behind you. Had to pull up and at least waive hello before I had to take the exit. Nice tint job. Yours looks really sharp. I meant to post this last week to Stingers in the wild but got sidelined with other things.

Was in SLC last weekend, had a few people stop by and ask about it while I was gassing up. Didn't see any while I was out there though. Still super rare!

Well, I live here and almost never see one. The Yellow over a month ago was only my third "Stinger in the Wild" sighting in nearly ten months.

Ha ha!!! Right on man! Good to meet up on the road! Yours was looking pretty sweet, too!

I'm not really a "car guy". Thanks for the heads up. Will the Stinger be there?

I honestly don't know. Tons of cars will be.

That was a nice auto show. There were a few cars I really liked within the price range of the Stinger I have. The Buick Regal GS, a couple of the Lexus, and surprisingly, the new Altima AWD. It's a handsome car and it has a TON of leg room in the front and back.

The RS5 was gorgeous...and 84K

The Buick Regal GS is the new Holden Commodore VXR here & a direct competitor to the Stinger, it’s not selling very well here in OZ.

Got 7" of snow out here in the Uintah Basin overnight last Friday, and got my car stuck in my driveway. Lol. I was gunning it in reverse to make it over the hump into the street, but a car came out of my blind spot and I had to slam on the brakes. Slid into the gutter.

Anyone else have to deal with that storm, or was it just on my side of the state?

 

[MerlintheMad]

None here, till last night, and it continued through the morning; about half a foot, very heavy packing snow; the bottom inch or more was slush. Last night the full moon was gorgeous over the Wasatch Front, and virtually no clouds. Of course, that all dramatically altered "while we were sleeping".

You have RWD, am I remembering right? Getting stuck in a gutter with your rear wheels is a "perfect storm" for RWD to get stuck.

The AWD version is a plow! Today was my second storm driving experience (I don't count the doodle drop late last year, of less than two inches, even though I tested my first skid on it). This version of the car loves this kind of weather. Just go slow enough and maintain distances.

Who has the black GT1/2 on Hill AFB? Saw it parked in front of me at the gym. Also, any meets or shows coming up?

Which one is yours?
