Beast Driver--looking for more friends

I'm new to MBWorld, coming over as an 'old-head' from an apparently less popular forum. I purchased my Beast in July. I'd read quite a bit about the C63 and stoped by my dealership to take a look at one that had been ordered and was being preped for pick-up. I was blown away, all 451 hp and all.

So the buyer who ordered the C63 that I visited has some financial issues, and could not close on the deal..... Got a call from my salesman the next day and, game over, the Beast was in my garage that evening. Didn't plan it, had to do it. Arctic White, black interior. My car was the first C63 I'd seen in person. Since that time , I've only seen a hand-full prowling around Maryland. Needless to say, I'm still stoked.

Welcome to the club! I have only seen 2 others around DFW so they are still pretty rare.

Welcome. I am almost new too.
I got mine 3 months earlier the same way - somebody canceled the order, with exteriour colour as ordered - Palladium Silver.
Did not see this car on the streets on Toronto yet, but somebody is driving it here from forum. I have seen once M3 2008, once IS-F.
Glad to start driving it again from loooooong winter garage parking.

I saw one C63 the week before I ordered mine. Since then I haven't run into any - not even that same black one.

Last week I saw a red C63 racing a Mustang (Shelby or Saleen?) in heavy traffic going north on I-95 between DC and Bmore. I actually heard the C63 before I saw it. It was after dark and I could not see tags. I was in the W211, or otherwise would have been tempted to join the fight.

I've only seen one other C63 up here out in public streets. I have, however, seen probably 7 different M3s since release.
