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.

The situation goes like this:
I am waiting at a red light with my windows down when an orange Toyota Supra with a rear wing rivaling that of a Boeing 747 pulls up to me
.....
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.

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.

Toyota Supra is a favorite car for modifications.
