probably...damn what line of work were you in to be retired at 47 and afford a C63?

I guess I'm not that much younger than you...7 years younger actually. I've got a 7 1/2 year-old and an almost 3-year-old and I'm thoroughly enjoying driving my new C63 AMG (booster seat in the back and all ) like you. Enjoy!

my kids are 21 (in collage) and 19 (in the army) enjoy them while their little it goes by fast.

dmyrick

I'm retired USAF, last stationed at Air University. I have to say i miss it a little.

that's not old guys. I have a ways to go, as I just turned 30

Sincity

Congrats to your mid-life toys. I turned 42 this year.

slightly OT, I'm 46 and have a '04 S55.

It's only 5 months younger than my oldest child

It's nice driving an exclusive $70k sports sedan at 30, huh? Let's see...10 years ago, I was driving a company provided car at that time...the old white Ford Taurus. Congrats and enjoy!!!

36 here. retired and 4 years into my second career.

Yeah...funny story which I'm sure a few of you guys (who are similar in age as me and have worked hard to own such a car as the MB C63 AMG) can relate to...a couple weeks ago, I was describing my new MB C63 AMG to my wife's aunt (she's in her 50's, drives a Lexus RX350, and is nosey as *****; always asks how much things cost, etc. ), and she had the nerve to ask me if I was having a mid-life crisis (just by the fact that I bought a 451HP limited production monster MB sports sedan; came from driving a tuned BMW 335i btw). I was shocked at her assumption, but I simply looked her in the eye and said, "no, I have ALWAYS been into sports cars; it's just more of a hobby and a passion for me now, since I can actually afford such an awesome car. If I could afford a Ferrari, I would have one."

Then, my wife turns to her and says, "boys and their toys."

Turning 50 in a few months...

pushing 58 soon........nobody said it would be like this

bushburninc63

I figured some of you guys would be around 40's and 50's.

Sincity

Yeah...how about you, junior?

C63newdude

You can retire from the military and be 37 years old.

Frankly, I for one am glad you "older" guys are on this Forum and driving the C63 AMG; it kind of annoys me when a Forum is almost completely filled with much younger guys driving $50k+ sports cars...even if they actually can appreciate the value of money. Ahem, the very, very active E90Post.com is probably ~ 85% of guys < 25 years old (and many are still in high school, driving these tuned, 400HP+ BMW's ).

So, I say, "good for us, 'older' guys!"

Sincity

Ditto. The maturity level, for the most part, in the forum is a plus.

I am 48, signed on the dotted line in 1980 for the USAF, still working as civilian DOD in Germany at Spangdahlem AB,I am waiting for the MY 2011 C63 and see what updates and changes they will have.

I'm 61 and I am getting more Horse power,
you can never have enough.

Jae Duk

I know he's older than me for sure...I resent all the things you guys said about younger ppl....Some of us are ACTUALLY responsible and mature

I just turned 25 and got my C63 a few weeks ago

and yes I paid every penny of it myself (software company I started up and own is doing quite well)

Yeah, I prefer the maturity level here, too. For the most part it's a lot better than that 'other' forum.

But you know what they'll say on E90Post: "I told you so, MBs are for old farts who can't drive a stick."

Seriously, read some of what's on there, they're like little kiddies.

I just tell them that my job as a greeter at WalMart has allowed me to buy my Grampa-mobile E63
