you're an AMG addict, just admit it you want that car, we can get you an intervention if you want?

your fingers are itchin' for that white C43!
you have the skills to fix the car, you can do it.
for $2500 I've would have bought that car, you'll be sorry one day when you realize you missed out on it.

Those, we can conclude that not driving a fun car into the ground is actually a disservice to that car, and why I'd never own something like a ZL1 Camaro or Boss 429 Mustang. They are basically just automotive art, not cars.

Me? I'm getting a 05/06 C55 or GTO, hopefully with ~20k miles, and will drive it day in, day out. Life's too short to drive boring.
It's more about having a specific tool for a specific job. The C43 is not the ideal daily driver for me. It eats expensive gas, eats expensive tires, and uses expensive oil and filters. A beater car is beautiful thing. It uses cheaper gas and less of it, has cheap tires that will last for over 60k miles, and oil changes consist of whatever is on special. I spend most of my time sitting in traffic or at stoplights. The less quantifiable aspect of it all is that the C43 feels much more special when its been stored away all week and I get to pull it out for fun on the weekend.

In regards to the pile of metal, etc, that is more true on a mass market car. There are a fixed, relatively low quantity of C43's in the world (one less based on a post I just saw). Less than 1500 in the United States. When you start to get into limited quantities, that is what makes them special, at least to most of us in this forum.
