Hey, we have the same car! - guy down the street from me with a c280 and rep wheels.
That car is angry at someone - my wife after her first ride.
One day as I dropped the kids at school, the young crossing guard (grade 6 or 7) was vegging out as they waited to cross so I blipped the throttle and caught his attention. My 6 yr old son gave me the thumbs up as he crossed. The next week we were in the library at a book sale and this whole table of boys kept looking at us. Finally I asked them what was up and one kid said "mister, I looked your car up on the Internet. It has almost 500 horsepower!"
Now whenever my son walks around the school all the older boys say "hi Ben" and throw him high fives and stuff. He says "Dad, don't ever sell that car,ok? It makes school reeeeeallll easy!"
It's a beautiful thing when your son thinks you're cool. Prolly about 20 more minutes of that left

I've only had mine for less than a month but hers what I got
Co-worker next day after I took off from the light "I didn't think it was possible for a Mercedes to sound like that"
Valet after pulling up a 911 then mine "Bro, I'd much rather have this car"

09 c63 p30 mars red
My wife loves my car! Not
I have to laugh when we go out in my car and she is trying to put on lipstick
I guess the P30 doesn't help!
When I hold her I was trading in the vette for a MB she said "Yes, finally you will have a car that's not loud and has a smooth ride" !
Sometime things aren't what they appear!

Hah, my gf almost poked her eye with a makeup brush this afternoon because of some shenanigans. We pulled over near her work place so she could put on some finishing touches and I was like "Honey, we only have 5 minutes left. We gotta go." She said, "Oh no...'GO' means something totally different in this car" jokingly. I thought that was an open invitation so I gunned it up the hill to her work place and she was mildly annoyed that I almost caused her to poke her eye out.

c32
my attorney on my black c32: what are you doing with that 12 cylinder Mercedes!
town cop on the c32 after pulling me over: i saw you coming with all those cams and turbos
on the c63 cop #1 pulls me over after he makes a u turn on a two lane road around the corner from my house and says " I heard you speeding by "
cop #2 on hospital roadways makes a U turn at midnight, catches up to me while I'm going 35 mph and says he heard me speeding in a 35 mph zone
neighbor kid across the street says when I start up in the morning the sound knocks him out of bed
Stock exhaust on the c63

My friend wanted to hear my exhaust and told me rev. I did and he said "sounds like a type R" /smh
I reply "can I borrow your badges?" He looks at me funny. He drives an Integra R.

Valet:"Man this is the nicest car I've driven!"
another valet: "I was into M3's, but now I decided I'm a C63 guy! This thing is sick!!"
Babysitter, after seing my 36 week-pregnant wife struggle to get out ot the passenger seat: "You're not a good husband, forcing your wife to sit in that thing!"
Guy at red light: "Do you really fo 6.3 liters/100 km?" (We dont use MPG here up north!)
5 y/o son, after seing another set of rear tires waiting to be installed in the garage (3rd set in a year!): "daddy, why don't we ever change the tires on mom's car (mazda5)?"
A lot more but I can't remember them all!
nice thread!

Some dbag M fanboys on youtube tell me that the C63 looks like an accord and sounds like diarrhea. Maybe that is the sound of getting ***** on by us.

Went up to a car show at Numidia Dragway (up near Scranton, Pa) and this very nice couple comes up to and says....."do you mind me asking how much you paid for that car of yours.....we don't have cars like that around here."
I guess it isnt hilarious but the way she said it made me laugh!

At a Wendy's drive through: Younger man whispers to the older man passing me my Frosty, "That's an AMG!" Older man says "What's that?" Younger man replies "It's like an M3 but a Mercedes" Old man still had no clue.
Made me smile. It's like a rabid wolf in sheep's clothing, not too obscene, but there are few details that reveal what's underneath.

My car is debadged (rear and side), I parked outside my local burger joint and went inside. First thing the shop owner asked was "Hey when did you double your exhausts? It's not a real AMG.. is it?"

2017 Mini Cooper S Clubman ALL4 - British Racing Green
The reason I knew it was not real, the area on the side where the AMG logo's go are straight with no creases like ours has, and I looked in the heavily tinted windows (and left some nose prints
) Wrong steering wheel, no paddles, only has E/S on the Shifter, and the guage display is from a std C series..But on the outside, it all looked good mostly..
The question is.. considering the cost of the wheels, brakes and exhaust, I am figuring that alone is at least $10k if bought new.. you could get a decent used C63 for the cost of a new C300/350 and those parts...

not a c63, but in the spirit of the topic...
me sitting in my sl65.
a guy at a traffic light- "hey, that thing is all show and no go?"
me: "why you say that?"
him: "i can barely hear it.."
me: nodding my head approvingly "yep..."
light turns green and i leave 50 yards of rubber.
on another occasion:
guy at a traffic light - "are you a poser"?
me: "why you say that?"
him: the v12 tt cars are much louder that yours
me: "you got me.... "
light turns green and... you get the idea...

This just happened tonight:
My brother in law and nephew are in town and they are huge Lewis Hamilton and MB fans. My nephew is 5 and can tell you who won what race the way kids in Vancouver can spout hockey stats. So we went for a drive in the Merc. We are whipping through the gears, listening to a little burble and pop and little Noah says "I don't like going this fast". My son Ben (who is 6) just looks over at him and says "well, you better get used to it cos this is an AMG".*
Yet another awesome parenting moment provided courtesy of MB.

my dad owns a s550 and knows nothing about the AMG lineup. First time he took a ride he said,"hohohoho you got screwed on this one. You better take this car back to the dealership, do you hear the rumble in your exhaust."
