Glad you are all right ..

Probably hit the nail on the head...

Sorry to say this but not the smartest thing to do since yesterday night we had a small dusting of snow. High hp high torque car + snow + wot + no esp =

First, glad no one was hurt..... I am surprised someone would completely turn off the traction control. I am a corvette owner looking to move to the c63. My vette has a competition mode that lets you hang out out the a$$ end quit a bit before kidding in. Does the c63 have a similar setting???

patrickkc

lmao... was I trying to impress anybody? Yea i'm totally trying to show off my wrecked C63! cuz my wreckd C63 will always be better than that E55 of yours.. LMAO.. Oh yea I'm only 20 you got that right but english isn't my first language so you can't base my driving experience on my grammar you dumb ****.. tires WEREN'T COLD btw.

You know, I think I'm just gonna scrap the C63 and buy a 2010 E63. Oh, I'm sorry.. is my E63 gonna be better than your E55? oops.





@everyone else that worried, thanks we're all fine. I think it's a lesson to learn since everybody does stupid things they regret doing sometime during their life.

MBDog

Let me know, I have them in stock, haha. J/K

Make sure your friends insurance company gets the vehicle repaired in Toronto at the official MB repair center. Don't accept anything but OEM parts and top quality work, your friend wants to forget this ever happened.

Post more pics...

patrickkc

nah, not gonna post anymore because you guys will say I'm "SHOWING OFF".

C63 Guy

Uhm, is that so? Because you had previously posted:

So which is it?

And really, unless they're R-compound tires hot/cold doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of difference. Were they R-compounds? And if so, how did you get them to temp in 20 minutes of local driving in the winter?

It sucks what happened to your car and I'm glad no one was injured, but it's pretty obvious you were driving over your abilities based on what you said. Nonetheless, I hope your repairs are quick and thorough.

patrickkc

Well, cuz when I told other people they thought it was cold tires too but when I told them I've been driving it for 20mins they said the tires shouldn't be cold? I honestly don't know.. but yea.Hope the repairs will be quick. Thanks

LZH

Josh u and speedracer should swap transmissions );

C63 Guy

Yeah, it's generally something people say when they don't have a better excuse... Don't sweat it, we all make mistakes (just look at my threads) and I'm a little envious that you can even consider just swapping up to an E63 like it's no big deal. Must be nice.

But the reason I'm actually posting is because I want to see a bigger version of your sig pic. That looks so cool.

Josh

C63 Guy

Now you're thinking! I take back everything I said in the trans thread...

Skip the E63, get a Lamborghini LP560-4, AWD will save your *** everytime.

Merc-Skycap

Glad you are okay. Everyone makes mistakes but next time think thrice before doing something like that again.

Enjoy your car when it gets back and take it easy!

slownrusty

20 years old??..so not ONLY are you immature based on your reply, I was right you couldn't drive a stick up a dog's *** if it had grease on it.

This is the only Mercedes for you right now:

Quadcammer

having parents that buy you cars makes that easy.

KCviper

I had an old Viper buddy of mine who was a long time Corvette owner. Sold the Corvette and bought a Viper (no traction control of any kind) and promptly totaled it by gunning it with the wheels turned. Hit a curb and that was it....those cars are very expensive to fix. Lesson learned.....

bushburninc63

Lesson should be learned on "cheaper" cars, or maybe not because you're talking about picking up an e63 like it's nothing. :O

danielemccabe

Couldn't agree more with the last two posts. The guy just crashed his prized car and you are judging him? Reviewing his grammer on a post? REALLY? I feel bad he crashed and agree that it was good no one got hurt. It's a good reminder to us ALL, that we have a powerful rocket under our foot, and no matter how good the driver is, things can go wrong in the blink of an eye. Just read car and driver's 24 hour race article. Those were pro drivers and they flipped a miata on more than one occassion.

Gee, i hope my grammer was good enough for this forum.

sorry about your car man, I'd be devastated.

rieger

He crashed his car doing a really stupid thing which was lighting it up with no ESP on a wet snowy night. You can say we shouldn't be judging him because he trashed his own car and no one elses but what would you have said if he killed someone or hit someone elses C63. The OP obviously is a young imbecile who just thinks everything is OK and that his mommy or daddy will buy him a new car. He even shoves this in the face of a fellow MB owner who probably worked hard for his AMG.
See too many idiots on the forums who's parents have too much money and not enough brains to realize their son is not bright enough to drive a high powered car. I just hope he doesn't kill anyone with the E63.

I've taken the ESP off in the rain in an empty parking lot to play and it's amazing how quick the rear end comes around. When it's dry, it's very easy, predictable, and responsive while controling a drift (not to mention extremely fun!). The C63 is almost completly uncontrolable with the ESP off in wet conditions, even more so then other high horsepower cars that I've owned. Glad nobody was hurt. Hopefully your insurance takes care of the car.

NickZag

The C63 traction control (ESP) has 3 settings. On, Sport (sounds like it's the same setting as your comp. mode on your vette), and off.

propain

I was thinking the same thing about being a little harsh on the guy and all, but his reply defending himself pretty much killed it for him.

Summary:

Mommy and daddy bought you a car you couldnt handle. You dont have anywhere near enough driving experience to be in a C63.

Scap the C63 and buy a E63?? Haha.. im sure mommy and daddy will probably sell your C63 and buy you a saturn now.

No he wasnt running snow tires. Going by those pics he is still running the OEM's. Im curious how many miles he has on the car because those tires look bald.

You can see the salt residue all over the tires so im sure the roads were iced and wet or at least patchy with ice and wet.

ESP off? You were trying to spin the wheels and you lost control of the car. You probably had some friends in the car to show off or were showing off or racing with another car. You drove like a douche and you paid the price. Carful next time with mommy and daddys money and other peoples lives. At least you didnt kill anyone.

ScottW911

My guess that he is a foreign national, attending a local school (something like U.of Waterloo) and Mom and Pop may not even be in the country. They may just wire in the funds for something new without any questions asked.

I also guess that no amount of time will improve his driving skills enough to handle any AMG, ever.

I'm just saying...
