Should i trade in my C63 for a Mclaren MP4?? (pics)

so i went to check out the Mclaren MP4-12C today...DAYAMMMMMM!!!

Words cannot describe the beauty of this car! I thought it looked a bit plain in pics but in real life it is STUNNING!













Being a big guy, i was worried that i might not fit inside..



getting in was ok....



eureka!



getting out was a bit more difficult (both physically and emotionally)


here's what it looks like underneath...









sadly i did not get a chance to test drive it...soon my pretty, soon...

Cars.
If you can swing it and don't need the C63's practicality, then why not? It's a beast of a car.

I got to see a black one on the streets of LA parked. Lots of people were gawking over it. I wonder who the lucky owner was?

Big price difference between a C63 and the MP4-12C ($70K vs $235+) besides the fact that they don't even compare to each other. I'm a big guy too and don't even know how you are comfortable in the C63.

Why wouldn't you do it lol It's an amazing car and better than the 458 Italia. IF you have the funds, go for it. McLaren is one to make automotive history.

C63 or a MP4? Not even an apple vs orange comparison! More of a apple vs diamond encrusted pineapple.

Steel Grey Metallic C63!!
That shouldnt' even be a question. Keep the C63 and buy the MP4. What's 70k when you can fork out 250K...It's like pocket change.

If you have the money, you shouldn't need to trade in your C63. C63 is practical.

If the seat fits...you must commit. Buy the Mclaren and keep the C63 to get groceries (if you can still afford them).
