Same here, when my wife and I (both white, wife is blonde for an extra layer of whiteness) traveled with one child under 2 (while wife was pregnant with #2), or traveled with two kids under the age of 4, of the 3 vacations we traveled on, my wife got “randomly” selected exactly half the time. As if traveling with

Yeah, it’s certainly a popular mod to update the emblems with something more aesthetically pleasing. The “Vintage K”, “Engineered for Excellence E”, and the “stinger” script are all popular options for the front and rear emblems, wheel center caps, and steering wheel. Here is an example of some options: https://www.sti

I had no problems buying from a Kia dealer. I just shopped around until I found a dealer that wasn’t a joke (you can tell on the phone whether they want to jerk you around or will talk straight with you and answer questions without asking you to come in first). Once I found a good dealer with the car/color/options I

If you don’t have any kids or care about rear seat space, sure. At that point why are you even buying a 4 door though?

“not reliable”

Who said anything about a GT2? A GT can be had for low 30's brand new. 

Nobody in their right mind would EVER say an FCA product will be more reliable. FCA products are consistently near the bottom of reliability ratings and Kia is at or near the top.

I guess if you plan to own the same vehicle for 15 years you might as well pick the lamest to start with. You might be on the wrong site though if that’s the case.

Between the lease incentive and negotiated dealer discount I was able to get mine for $10,500 under MSRP even though I didn’t qualify for any of the other Kia discounts (trading a competitor car, or own another Kia, or military/first responder). Then I bought out the lease after a month to cash in the savings. 

Been happy with my GT AWD so far. $600 in mods cut 1.54 seconds off the 0-100 performance (now 10.4 seconds) with an additional 90hp/130tq and it’s all completely reversible in about 45 minutes (cold air intake and a JB4 tuner). I’m going to put some E30 fuel in it and pick up another 40-50hp soon. It’s my wife’s

One version retails at $50k. Reality is nobody is paying anywhere near that and the GT (v6) can be bought for mid to low 30's and then add $5k if you want a GT1 and another $5K if you want a GT2. So it’s a $40k car in reality. 

I planned on buying a pre-owned version but with the massive incentives on new ones, I ended up leasing (and then buying out after one month) a new one. Ended up getting $10,500 off MSRP which put it very close to the price of used models and included the full warranty and such. 

I’ve got a Panthera Metal GT and I’ve had NONE of the issues you’ve reported. Rather than acting like every single Stinger is this way, maybe you should consider that it’s a combination of early build and it possibly being a lemon. It is not representative of Stingers overall, especially the later builds.
I know the

Pot, meet kettle.

You say you don’t give a fuck but you just posted 3 replies over a 12 minute span to a single person who provided one comment with some examples for why the lady might not be at fault for her situation. Seems to me that you’re whole “I’m a baddass who doesn’t care” persona is a big fat lie and you’re actually just

Agreed, I tried to ship my truck from Orlando to KC and it sat for 3 weeks waiting for someone to pick it up before I had the time to just get a $100 Spirit flight down there and drive it back for about 1/2 the price.

I think it’s the high front fenders/low long nose that creates the illusions but I’m not positive. 

Exactly. I had to scroll back up a couple times to compare details to make sure I was looking at the same car. Then I had to do it again after I realized the answer was “yes” to digest how it was possible to look so different. 

I have witnessed 3 of them actually. The one in the video seemed way less messy than normal. Hopefully they have a heavy duty rubber floormat in the back since they are operating as a taxi. 

Fortunately it doesn’t come out right after the baby so it’s possible they made it there before the “second birth”. Otherwise yes, it would look like a murder scene where part of the body was left in the car.
