My New Baby -- I Think I Am In Love??
Hi All,
Just picked her up last night (Sunday, June, 1 2008) and I gotta say she is a beast!
I drove her all day long and turned off the ESP and did a burnout and some 180s as an initiation to the family (I didn't read the part where it states to avoid doing so until the first 1,000 miles until after I had fun lol). Yes, not very smart of me but this car just likes to go......
Anyway here are some pics of my fully loaded Steel Grey C63 AMG...ENJOY!

Hahaha thanks guys for all the comments. It hit me hard today when I opened the garage this morning and saw the car there thinking, "Wow! is this really my car?" lol
I just did 1 burnout and like 3 180s but no more of that until I break this baby in. I will admit that I lost some control with the ESP turned off on the last 180. The car did a 180 and then fish tailed a bit but thats cuz am not sed to the car yet.
I drove it around and I have been getting some Thumbs Up. People slow down and speed up just to get a good look on the highways.
@1st amg: My dealer did here in Encino, lol

You mentioned you had not read the manual.
Not to be a "Debbie Downer" but the ECU records your engine details in depth!
The service center will get a download at 1st service!
I say no more!
Be wise & safe! Enjoy the car!

. No way in hell will hard driving get the warranty voided, these cars are made to be driven hard 
the manual suggests to drive it slow and easy, that's just one opinion..not mandatory. Other sources suggest driving it hard to get the maximum hp out of the engine.
Congrats buddy! Nice color combo!

Absolutely drive it how he wishes. Did I say anything different?
I pointed out to him that the ECU records nearly everything he does. Especially during running in period! remember first service! Get the message!
Drive it how he wishes and they will say " Per the manual"
Forget the sources.. come any warranty claims to them you will get the lowdown.
Don't shoot the messenger!

There are definitely 2 camps on how to break an engine, but for the most part on modern engines in my opinion it does not matter that much anymore.
