    First use of my Glorious Spare Tire

    The last time I changed my tire was back in 2002. I had a ford F150 I built into a pre runner an had 35's on it. I took my spare tire out of my Stinger, that rim and tire is heavy, it look good but it weighs to much. Your right MurlinatoR those tires are costly, you mite want to steer clear of...

    SSR Performance Dual Front Mount CAI - PRE-ORDER SPECIAL! (pics/vid inside)

    I like the design, but here in Phoenix area we have Haboobs and Monson's, it seems either one of those storms would clog those intakes. 85 to 90% of the time that setup would work assume, its the other 10 to 15% of the time that you would have to worry about.

    Paint chips

    I am just like you hoserama, I'm a rock magnet when I drive on the freeways. I've had rocks fly over from the other side of the freeway an hit my windshield or the front of my car. I have driven my Stinger on the freeway once, and I'm not going to do it again until I have the entire front of my...

    How are your seats?

    I've had no problems with my seats, you just have to use a good leather cleaner that also restores the seat. If you live here in Arizona you have to use leather cleaner that also put moisture back into the leather or the heat will dry an crack your seats. Through a period of time...……...

    Share your Kia Stinger phone mounts

    Sorry but that will still not work in Phoenix, when it's 118 degrees outside and you park your car anywhere, in less then a half hour your car is between 150 to 160 degrees inside, NOTHING that has tape or a sticky backing will survive inside your car. If you have your phone mount their an you...

    Stinger Sight Lines

    Welcome, congrats on the car, you will get used to the rear window view over time. I personally have had no dangerous encounters. If this is your first turbo car, you should read up on them because their are some aftermarket parts you will need to get like a OIL CATCH CAN for PCV side of the...

    Share your Kia Stinger phone mounts

    You cant put mounts like that in your car here in the Phoenix area, the heat would kill it. Mount your phone on your dash here, your phone would be dead in less then a week. I still remember the first time I left my smart phone in my vehicle, it was only in the car for about an hour an their was...

    Kia Stinger Drivetrain Break-in 101

    That was an interesting read, but if you live in the city there is no way you can break a car in that way. You would have to travel to a deserted road out of the city to be able to do that type of break in. If you drive in traffic to an from work your going to be at idle in rush hour traffic. I...

    Dealer sold me a Stinger with Summer tires in middle of winter

    I'm sorry to hear that you had too deal with a shitty dealership, but like I said it sounds like they just want your money an as soon as they got it you didn't matter anymore. They just want to get more money out of you for those tires. Here in Arizona we have a News crew that is called 3 on...

    Dealer sold me a Stinger with Summer tires in middle of winter

    If I were you I would go talk to a lawyer and see if you can take any legal action for putting you and your family in danger, because they specifically told you they would swap the tires out in house an they didn't do it, knowing a snow storm was coming. I would be ripping them a new ass in...

    Kia Stinger Age Demographics

    I'm 49, its hard to believe that I'm almost 50. I'm a Disabled Vet. so I get my choose where I want to park being that I have a handy cap plate. I wouldn't say its a mid-life crisis, I just like the car. I grew up around hotrods, fast cars and fast bikes, my neighbor was a fabricator and he...

    For anyone with the smart tailgate option: Do you find it's more trouble than it's worth?

    This is just my opinion, but car builders today are making consumers lazy. I don't see anything wrong with opening your hatch manually or closing it. How about lane assist, people don't even have to concentrate on staying in their lane anymore because the car does it for they. Remember driving...
