there are lots of young dudes on this forum owning an AMG.
these cars are pritty cheap to buy nowadays, so this means AMG isn't exclusive anymore as they used to be back in the good old days when averege Joe couldn't afford to buy these cool cars!

b4 I bought my C43 my old man told my I'm buying an old geezers car!
dude him self is driving an old Benz.
like fatha like son that's what they say.

One would think that the older you get the more time you have to enjoy your cars...
Unfortunately for me it's not that way...
I try to take a few out on the weekends just to keep them "honest"

indeed nowadays a c43 or c36 is dirt cheap..maintenance is not bad either.
most of us couldn't afford it brand new.. it was 78 000$ to get a c43 in 1999 here...

don't get me wrong,we would be driving c63 if we could afford a brand new c43
