Why Do You Love Your C43?

State why you love your C43 soo much.

I'll start it off. I'm only 21, but have owned many cars. BMW 328i, Mitsu Evolution, C43, S4, Trans Am Ws6, and now another C43. I bought my second one for a reason. I am in love with it. It is an all around better car than the others by miles. The power, the braking, than handling (yes handling!) and sound . There is not a day I get in that car and am dissapointed with what I am driving. After owning one for almost 2 years, it sill puts smiles on my face and can give me chills. I've had the privelage of drving some newer cars, but most still do not compare. I LOVE my C43 AMG.

I love the sound, I love that you don't seem them but maybe once a year, I am not trying to race anyone or hit 0-60 in top speed, just like to be cruising along at and have available power whenver i need it. I love that car people see it and stare, i love that non-car people have that look when yous tart it up or see you go by. Not tom ention, just an easy to drive, all around solid vehicle that feels as if it isn't laboring a bit at 80 on the highway.

I love the fact that no one has a clue what it is. Everytime I pull up to the light I.....um......well, oh ****....I don't own one. Um....sorry about that. If I had a C43, it would be---

LoL Carl -- I recall he started right off after a few posts on this board make'n Dave have to post a 'wtf?' message ...

vardar, you're proud of your stock C43. Good for you.

we're proud of our highly modded C43's. Good for us.

and maybe in a few years you'll realize we've been there and walked in those shoes ... but you haven't been here and walked in ours. ...and you might also realize you're on a MB board run by a euro aftermarket performance shop populated in great numbers with people all about making their ride unique and anywhere from just a little bit better to wildly better then it was when they 1st got it .... just maybe, given time.
