Is there a Stinger Wave?

[K9Leader]

I'm a new Stinger owner - picked up a 2019 GT2 with 8,400 miles about three weeks ago. Thrilled with the car so far. It is replacing a 3-Series BMW and I chose the Stinger over the BMW 640 GT.

I'm also in the Corvette world where the Corvette wave is a thing (Corvette drivers wave to each other). I also know that Jeep and Mini owners have something similar. Today, I got my first Stinger Wave! Gray Stinger pulled into the Lowe's parking lot as I was getting into my Red Stinger and we exchanged the wave as I pulled out and he was walking toward the store.

Was this a one-off? Or do Stinger owners wave to acknowledge each other? Anyone experienced it, giving and/or getting the wave?

I don't know that it's an Official Thing in the way it is for Corvettes and Jeeps, but our cars are uncommon & distinctive enough, and ones most owners would've chosen with intention, so if you wave I'd expect in most cases that you'd get one back.

Most give peace sign or 2 finger wave in my area. I see a couple a month.

I've experienced it a number of times. Usually, however, I can't get a clear view of the other driver to exchange greetings. Sometimes I've been willing, but the other driver is obviously just "the other half" driving her husband's Stinger and doesn't acknowledge that their ride is rare and very cool.

Wow, your "used car" is practically new. Good find!
