An interesting fact is that more C63s have sold in the US then all years of the c32 and c55 combined.

haha this is true! i see him couple times a week, usually on weekends for beers, and to discuss ideas for new car parts for our C32s and C55s, and even M113ks.

its scottsdale though. i hate saying that MBs are a dime a dozen, but there are sooo many out here.

Depends on which side of the city your in. I live over here in DP, (Dr. Phillips/Windermere) Tons of nice cars. at any given in the Publix parking lot, at a minimum. 2-3 AMG's sea's of regular mercs, Bmw's, Audis, Porsches.

But if i'm over at UCF on the other side of town. Not to brag, but i have one of the nices cars i've seen on that side of town. All depends where you hang out.

My take on Orlando is it is more of a transient city, than say someones hometown. A place where people work in the tourist industry and go back home in the off season.

Apartments are plentiful and cheap.
People move in and then move out.
Nightlife sux everything shuts down at 1:30.
Anyone offers you a job in Orlando its for bottom dollar (hence why ppl cant afford AMG's)

However in spite of this I did buy my AMG from a fellow in Orlando, but he wasnt an enthusiast. You could tell from the chrome door handles and wheel arches he had put on. A lot of work to get those off. I did decide to keep the ebay plaque he put on the glovebox.
