Want to truly appreciate your C63?

Rent a 2007 Chevy Cobalt economy car with 40,000 miles on it for $29.99 from Enterprise while your C63 is in the shop...

Funny thing is that I was wondering what you were driving around in while the car is at VRP. For some reason, a Cobalt came to mind and I see this thread. LOL. How much longer? If you made an appointment earlier, couldn't they have it done in a day (after you leave it overnight to cool down)?

Even the dealer loaners (E350, C300) are a let down to the AMGs. On the plus side, your car seems MUCh faster when you get it back.

That'll be something to experience! Even the loaners are no AMGs. Hey, they're nice C class cars, don't get me wrong, but what a difference.

I remember when I had my C230K, I put on the C32 brakes on her and I swear, every time I took a loaner and brought it back then swapped to my car, I ended up eating the steering wheel because the brakes were that much better. Of course always in the same spot - pulling out of the dealer lot where they can chuckle at me!
