Thought about it - but the C63 will inevitably be too rough riding for a daily driver. And with that statement, I have officially become my father!

Plus not to mention it will be grossly overpriced in my opinion. For that amount of money there are many other options available.

For me, I thought long and hard about an C63 and an M3... but practicality got the better of me. The RWD cars with big horsepower and the Toronto winters are just not a good mix. Dang parenthood... getting the better of me.

Very impressed with how successful financially young people are nowadays just by reading about your ages. I still remember that when I was about 28, I just got off school to start my practice and I was driving my beat up 1974 Chrysler Duster ( I bet a lot of you haven"t even heard of that model ) which was financed by my father. The front fender was rusted all through but I was not in financial position to look for another car. Things have changed a lot since then. You guys are a wise bunch. Keep up the good work, and also help the needy when you can. BTW, yes, I am 57.

To the OP, people are going to hate, basically because you're so young and drive a car they had to wait until they to xx years old to afford...Enjoy your new C! and kudos for having such a nice ride at a young age!

^^ I noticed its kinda hard to say anything with out it having a small hint of arrogance. I think its just the whole text and the non 'face2face' convo. But Its nice to know Im not the only 20 or less driver. & By the looks of your sig. your going to look into mods. Keep us Posted!
