<---LMAO

A gentleman said to me "That's a nice body kit on your C class. Where did you get it?" I was at a MB dealership. He was a salesman. He was serious.

Its amazing how little the salesmen know about their product. I overheard a salesman telling a potential P31 C63 buyer that the car had 401hp and 400 lbs of torque. They are simply clueless.

You have a sick e46 obsidian!

I get the downgrade question a lot going from S Class, to E Class, to C63.

An elderly gentleman carting groceries to my car:

"A Mercedes hot rod?! I'll be damned. Well what are you waiting for? Start that baby up!"

He said this despite the fact I didn't say a single word about the car on our way from the store's exit to the car. My jaw dropped.

old guy outside restaurant holds up two hands and makes 6 and 3 with his fingers and a thumbs up!

Showed my gf a picture of my old c350 (white) and the c63 (white) when I was telling her what I had and what I upgraded to. She looks at the pictures carefully for a second and says, 'babe why did you upgrade to the exact same car?' LOL

Driving on the road one day a bit enthusiastically, guy in a SUV pulls beside me at a red light and waves, I put my window down and says, '6.3 litre eh, that's a lot of litres.' I laugh and say yea I suppose, says 'how much power?'. I say around 481hp...makes a massive jaw dropping face and says 'drive carefully'. lol

One of my buddy (car guy) checking out my car for the first time...looks around, checks out the brake callipers and goes, 'holy fawn your rear brakes are bigger than my fronts.' Haha

Dad and Mom ride in the car for the first time...mom sitting at the back and dad at the front. I gun it a little....my dads clearly holding his breath (the guy drives a brand new range rover sport autobiography (supercharged) - so not a slow car at all) as I gun it..my mom starts yelling at the back saying this is ridiculous and what the hell I was doing. My dad goes..well that's what he wanted to show you lol, my mom goes, you have to get rid of it! Haha

This spring not long after I picked up mine I went to visit my cousin. My uncle comes wandering down the driveway and says " sure spent a lot of money for something that looks like a Honda Accord from 50 feet away.."

Later on in the summer, my gf was in a VW dealer, as she was shopping for a new car, and was looking at another Jetta. There's about 300 feet of frontage road leading to the dealership, and I gave the go pedal a squeeze. She says a couple of the young kids that work there came tear-assing it out around the desk, one says to the other "holy crap dude, that car is coming HERE.."
(there are other car dealers on either side). My gf cracked up. She told me about it after they came out and were peppering me with questions about it, made sense then hahaha.

Sadly I live in Los Angeles and the car is old news. The Persian next to me at the red light drives the exact same car. Oh well!

Just the other day driving home from work, at a stop light a guy in a Mazda rolled down his window to get my attention and said, " that is the best looking Mercedes I've ever seen"... I said thanks and gave him a rev shout-out.

Another time around when I first got the car, I was filling her up at the Chervon station a guy came up to me and asked if that was the C class with the V8; further explaining that his mom has a C Class, and me thinking to myself not the same thing dude. But he was very polite and so was I.

I had a several cars with speed alerts which I set at 75mph. They went off with a deep ping sound if you passed that mph. I was on a date and driving a bit spiritedly and the alert when on several times. My date asked "what's that ping". I told her it was the passenger seat moisture detector. This could be a good thing or bad thing.

You guys are lucky, I get more stupid comments than funny ones to be honest...

So funny this thread got bumped today. I thought of this thread when this happened earlier today.

Pulling into the gas station (in M Mode), the exhaust let loose some wicked burbles, crackles, and pops when downshifting to 1st and then when backing off the throttle in 1st.

There's a guy to my left standing by his truck nodding his head up and down. When I get out, he immediately says: "Those don't usually sound like that. What's under the hood?"

Me: "Oh yeah thanks this is an AMG. It's got a 6.2L V8."

Him: "Jesus. How much power?"

Me: "451 stock. More when I install my tune."

Him: "You just completely changed my view of Mercedes."

He stuck around to hear me start her up and asked for some revs. Gave me a thumbs up as I pulled away. Definitely a good guy.

I get this scenario a lot; especially since I'm always at a gas station (obviously). I always get dropped jaws when I tell them the HP figure.

My most recent:

Bunch of rowdy teenagers bouncing up and down and making faces at me in a C280 Kompressor as I was slowly passing them up while driving home one night. The woman driver decided to try and out pace me (as often slow drivers in the fast lane tend to do when they're getting passed up). So I decided to "give them a show" and just floored it. I went from 70 to 100 mph in a blink of an eye and was multiple car lengths ahead. As I got off my exit, the same car pulls up to me at the light and asked, "Aye. What kind of Mercedes is that??" I told her it was a C63 AMG (rear emblems blacked out). She exclaimed, "Man! You just snapped off!!" I said thanks and just drove off with a grin on my face.

I love my Beauty/Beast.

Haha very nice. I love that these cars have somewhat of a "sleeper" factor with respect to non-enthusiasts.

^^One of the top reasons I enjoy the C63. Quiet when you need it to be, rambunctious when you want it to.

Similar thing here. Im in Sydney, and every coke dealer, and their runners drive these.
Park of the reason i got an Estate. To be a little different.
Even more of a sleep as an Estate IMO

guy in school : hey i saw you driving your black AUDI yesterday!!!
me: its not an AUDI, its a C63 AMG
guy: so it's a BMW!!!

lol I hope the guy was lost on your school. BTW nice looking C63

told my dad to do a 0-100 pull when I let him take my c63 for a test drive last summer,
dad: holy s**t that almost pulled my pants of my as*


he can be a pretty funny man sometimes.

- "OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A MERCEDES!!"
- Yes but it's an AMG
- A what?
- Nevermind...

lol you guys got some very good ones haha

more than 1 person has remarked - Is that a Diesel. And I assure you none of them were car guys (gals). And I have always replied back yes, It's a Diesel. And gets 60 mpgs.

This would essentially make the C63 the perfect car.
