C63 AMG
Not in the C63, but in my GT-R some guy pulled up to me at a red light and asked, "Does that Japanese car have any *****?" I proceeded to roll up my window.

2024 EQE 43 AMG SUV
Went from Helsinki, Finland with the ferry to Stockholm, Sweden. Some danish guys were on the boat as well when they saw my car. "NO NO NO!!!! 6.3, 6.3!!!!" he yelled to his buddies :P
They have a pretty harsh car tax over there so they aren't that common.
When we came to Denmark on the very same trip i was paying for gas (happens quite a lot with the AMG's actually). Meanwhile my friend was sitting in the car waiting when a guy opened the driver door with a huge grin and showed thumbs up. He told us to send greetings to Mika Häkkinen...
The idea of the whole trip was to drive down to Italy to the Supersprint factory and change the exhaust system. When we were heading back up we were stuck in traffic on an Italian highway. A Romanian bus stops next to us and honks at us. We look up and the driver waves with his hands enthusiastically and seems to want us to rev the engine. When we look at the rest of the bus everyone is staring. Well, we did and the whole bus went crazy, it was sick Many more happenings like these on the road trip but these were the best ones.

Cambodia has one of the worst vehicle taxes ever. 180% tax. My previous 2005 C230K in 2010 would have costed me $50,000 USD to be able to export it there.

Just import cost correct? Not the price of the vehicle.

I thought our 100 % was much. But our taxation is based on Co2 emissions. So the C63 is a lot more dramatically taxed than the C200 CDI.

Never buy an AMG, it's slow even though it was more than what the other dude can afford.

Also I live my life 1/4mile at a time.

True story.
Toyota Supra is a favorite car for modifications.
I have never seen this car on streets in Canada, but there are many of them at the mechanic shop where I installed LSD. They upgrading cars, installing large turbos, replace engines, etc. One car they have is Toyota Supra with 1300 hp. But any day my mechanic would prefer to drive C63 vs. that monster.
