Northern Virginia Stingers

[Sharkeyd]

Welcome! I've seen two so far..both black. Which trim and color did you get? Did you buy it at Brown's Manassas Kia?

I did buy it there. I got the certain silver with red interior. What about you?

 

[Renfield]

Anyone out there?

I grew up here in NOVA, and always thought Virginia was considered part of the Northeastern US...

Chantilly since 1968.

Bought my GT1 AWD last week at Dulles KIA. Very pleasant people to deal with as opposed to Ourisman who low balled me on a trade in and inflated the price on a base GT. I bought a GT1 AWD for the exact same price Oursman wanted for a base GT.

Been a Toyota owner since the 1980s. traded an Avalon for my Stinger.

Very familiar with Culpeper and Bealton. Best friend and fellow Mustang guy lives in Culpeper and I used to race out in Sumerduck.

No, I won't re-badge. I figure since everyone is re-badging to the "E", I will be unique and be a Kia logo car. I am looking at chipping, exhaust and tinted windows. So just some "minor" modifications...

Used to take my grandson to Flying Circus in Bealton.

You're right about Northeast! I get a little silly sometimes. The change has been made.

Northern Virginia is a bastion of liberalism and an abberation on the rest of the state.

Been in Chantilly since 1968. Back then it was just dairy cows and horses. One farm raised Arabians beautiful animals. No red lights on Rt 50 from Fairfax to Rt28 which was just a two lane road.

Now just shopping malls, McMansions, heavy traffic, the Civil War Kearney memorial has been shrunk to about 20 sqft and surrounded by toen houses. Such is progress.

Hi Guys, I guess I joined your ranks a couple of weeks ago, I got a red GT2 AWD. I live in the Landmark area, on the border between FFX and Alexandria City. I've only seen 1 other stinger in the area, on the beltway once, seesm there's not many around yet.

 

[Renfield]

What are the odds?
Yesterday while in the car wash line a car pulls in behind me, a 2016 GT1 AWD Panthera metallic, an exact copy of my car.

I honked twice and waved as I passed a Silky Silver this morning around 6:15 AM heading south on 28 just after Waxpool Rd. Was it you?

No, my car is a GTI Panthera metallic AWD.
KIA hit a grand slam with the 2018 Stinger. Curious to see what they have in mind for the future. Wouldnt be surprised to see them on the Grand Prix circuit some day.

hey yall!

Im outside of Charlottesville, just got my base model about a month or so ago and I am loving it.

Saw a grey stinger the other day near Staunton, VA. Any of you guys by chance?

 

[Joseph Spiegel]

I’m hoping the Virginia members haven’t lost one. There was a fatal crash in Virginia this morning. The Stinger driver died. Please say everyone is OK here...

If it was a gt2, most likely it is John Perdue of TLC auto detailing. He is the only person I know that has the gt2 in silky silver with red interior. Man I really wanted the silky silver in GT2, but they discontinued it.

Not sure which trim it was. Driver was a male in his 20s wearing a backwards hat. That's about all I have to go on. I thiiiink it was a VA plate.

 

[Anarchy99]

Yep that’s Perdue lol. Best detailer in VA and arguably the US if you pay attention to the rankings etc.

Yeah...I kinda wish I got my ppf and ceramic coating done by him now. He's very knowledgeable and awesome dude to have as a friend.

So after seeing a total of 3 stingers on the road in the past 2 months, I drove by 2 more within a couple hundred feet of each other on 395 S, between exits 8 and 5, around 420 pm today. Blue base model and grey GT, both bearded guys, anyone here? I was in the red.

Hey guys, not so much a new member but a lurker. Im in Amissville but I have a cruise group that I lead once a quarter or so. We meet at the Harris Teeter in Gainesville then take some back roads up to Skyline Drive. Our next scheduled cruise is November 10th. We keep the pace light and do not drive like idiots. After putzing around up there, we head back down into Warrenton and have dinner. Its always a fun time. Its through a Facebook page so you would have to be added by me. PM me if interested.

Also, I have my OEM 19" wheels/tires/tpms sensors for sale as well. Im not about to post up and try to ship them so id prefer somebody local to sell them to.
