He is saying you are pretty close to bending over with that price. Parts alone for just the right rear are less than $300 bucks. You can get an idea for parts from looking online.

Yeah, but if you pay that much you better make sure you brake-in those new break-pads carefully. Their really expensive.

Just bend over an spread them for that price this is the main reason that everyone should know how to due maintenance on their vehicles. Thats why you shouold know how much parts and maintenance costs are. But people buy these cars with out the knowledge that these cars are expensive to maintain. the C63 is the cheapest AMG to maintain, as compared to the E, CLS, S, SL and CL models. The more the AMG costs, the more expensive it is to maintain. I know this first hand as I have two AMGs.

^^^I get the sense that people on this forum are misspelling words on purpose to act even dumber and more uneducated. Man, it's just a stupid and lame joke now. Makes me give these people less credibility. I can undertand a word here and there or fat fingers on the key board but this crap on a MB forum is unbelievable. I could expect it on some ricer website...but here?

But maybe I just don't see the humor...

You're right.......you don't see the humor. But that's OK, it's still funny.

You could expect it on some "ricer website"??? Are we, as AMG owners, blessed onto a higher pedi-stool because of our cars? If so, I did not recieve that email, or maybe it is in my spam folder. Did you mean to say that people with a sense of humor other than yours should be driving a Honda or Toyota? Maybe you also do not see the sarcasm, nor the irony in the situation. My brother drives an Acura RSX that he likes to work on. Should I call him and ask if his "ricer" friends find it funny that someone who drives an 80k AMG does not know difference in grammer between break and brake? I am sure they will be moderately amused that, according to you, having fat fingers makes it excusable to misspell words when typing, since America is the only country where obesity is considered a disease. By "these people", are you refering to people with a sense of humor other than your own, or people that drive cheaper cars than you? Either way, it is unfortunate that these people will no get the credibility from ZephyrAMG that they long for. I just hope these people are not losing sleep at night because of this. You are high as a kite my friend. By the way, this is not a personal attack on ZephyrAMG. Let us read in-between the lines. I am sure most of you have encountered unique individuals that feel or act like they are above others because they drive a MB. ZephyrAMG just happened to put themselves out there. On a final note, this is an online community, where members will post their opinions, and share their humor. Broaden your sense of humor, or grow thicker skin.

P.S. "undertand"??? Fat fingers? I understand.

If you can't take a little friend humor, perhaps this forum is not for you. I own an Audi too. Should I defend Audi's honor in here when someone bashes them?

Seeing as this is a Mercedes Benz forum, you can probably lump anything from a Daewoo to BMW and we'll rip on them equally. By the way, Acura = expensive ricer Honda

^^^ You quote a few sentences out of my entire post, and missed the point. I wasn't defending ricers by any means. Read all the previous posts on this thread that lead to mine. ZephyrAMG didn't find a joke funny, and makes it sound as if we shouldn't make jokes like that on here because we drive AMG's. If you read the P.S. on my post, you'll clearly see I have a sense of humor.

I joke with my brother all the time about ricers. You can tell when someone is being sarcastic, or acting condescending.
