C63
My first car ever was a 91' Nissan Maxima when I was 16-17.
I plan on getting a GT-R as my next car.
If you dont mind me asking, how old are you if your first car is a C63?

2004 Dodge SRT4 with intake, exhaust, big FMIC, hard pipes, Turbo XS RFL blow off valve (it was awesome!), map clamp, aftermarket wastegate, oil mod, mopar stage 1 springs, 19" OZ superleggeras, and black powdercoated engine bay. Oh yeah, and full mickey thompson 24.5x10 slicks for the track!
I loved this car. 500+ runs down the strip. 100+ runs on slicks all doing 2nd gear burnouts. Sold the car with 80k, and the stock clutch held strong, no gears were grinding, and the brakes were still good. Tremendous car.

First car my parents gave me...a brand new 1987 Honda CRX si. That was an awesome car. I put Jackson Racing Headers, straight pipe, and quad tip muffler on it.
First car that I actually bought with my hard earned money... A 2000 Kia Rio. Kia was the only dealership that would sell me a new car, due to my low salary and poor credit, at the time.

'17 MB G63 AMG
First car I bought on my own: '84 Dodge Colt Turbo (Mitsubishi). Awesome little car. I used to annihilate VW Golf GTIs and all the other little pocket rockets back in the day, as long as the road was straight. It had little 165 series tires, size 14 inch. Handled for crap but boy was it quick... This thing had a 4x2 manual stick shift, essentially 8 speed transmission. The rear hatch had a sticker that read: "Don't step on the gas unless you really mean it."
The next car I plan to purchase will be a '12 BMW X3 or a '12 GLK Benz, to replace my DD Jeep wrangler. Yes, I prefer smaller vehicles (nimbleness over sheer mass/SUVs included); hence, my choice for the C63 over an E63, etc...
My next toy will either be a '12 ZR1 or a '12 GT3. I won't know which one until the time comes to pull the trigger. These cars are soooo different... Do I want a torque monster (axe) or do I want a knife???

Used '99 Accord Coupe at 17, New '04 Matrix put 15k miles in 6mo., traded it for new '05 C230K. Now I'm in this baby. Next step is to get dad a SLK63 and retire with a SLS. We can dream right?

Heh..
Lets see.. I since 1996..
first car was a 1986 Honda Civic Hatchback.. it lasted 2 weeks before I burned out the clutch..
Next.. 1994 Cavalier Z24.. fun car to ride.. but oil pan was the lowest point of the car.. punctured it and cracked the engine block (apparently the CEL did not work as I did not know what happened till after the damage was done)
1996 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z.. was a fun little car.. water pump broke, cracked the engine block (again.. no CEL came on and the temp guage did not show a problem..)
1996 probe GT (fun little car.. horrible name)
First new car, 2001 VW Jetta (biggest mistake I ever made.. had 60+ recalls in first year.. and was a nightmare.. electrical and mechanical problems, apparently the worst model VW ever made)
2007 Camry (hybrid)
2009 C63 (current car bought in 2010)

'11 C63, '22 GLS 63, Porsches, M3, M4
Started with a '90 Saab 900 Turbo -- fun car which I eventually wrecked.
Three MBs ('95 E320, '00 SLK320, and '01 E320) and two BMWs ('97 3-series convertible and 01' 325xi wagon) since then, and still have both of the '01 cars. First E320 was great, and current E320 is great too, but both are half the power of the C63 and handling is nowhere close. The SLK was a blast and we still dearly miss it, but had to go when the baby came.
The BMW convertible had great handling and lots of fun to drive, but lots of repairs. The BMW wagon handles well and AWD is a big plus, but lots of repair issues with it too. Conclusion: MBs are built to last whereas BMWs aren't.
Almost four years still to go on the C63 lease, so no idea what my next car will be, though I don't see myself going back to a regular non-performance car. Porsche calls to me, but we shall see.
Then again, the wife needs a new car, so maybe I can convince her to get something I want.

Licensed in 1988...
1989 Mazda 626 Turbo - waaay underrated at the factory those turbo Mazdas. Modded with HKS powerflow, 2 1/2" straight pipe, Eibachs, 16" wheels from the RX-7 at the time, boost control, thing was an absolute rocket! Mustang GTs at the time were scared of me.
1993 Ford Probe GT - sweet coupe. H&R, Borla exhaust. K&N Flitercharger, Centerforce dual friction. Car sounded positively Italian!
1997 Maxima SE - no mods. A nice, nice sedan in its day with a greta motor and comfortable ride. Not sure why I got it with no kids...
1999 Mustang GT - get this with kids...go figure. Picked it up April 17, 1999. Why is that date significant? 35 years to the day of the Mustang being born. Excellent car considering the previsou gen.
2002 Volvo S60 T5 - my first European car. Best seats ever, awesome sound system, one of the first surround sound systems. A beautiful looking car too. Once that turbo was up, thing was very fast on the highway, tough to launch though...neat spaceball shifter.
2005 Mustang GT - picked it up, April 17, 2005, what a coincidence! Lowered with nice wheels...black with red interior. LOVED this car.
2008 G37S coupe - dearly departed, an excellent sport coupe with refinement to boot. Recommned this car, but needed the V8.

Awesome lol
The first car I bought was a '93 4 door blue geo metro (same as Suzuki swift 4 door). The awesome road trips I made with this car. I eventually sold it.
3 years later I bought a new 99' Civic Si (SiR in Canada) that I kept until 2010 when I bought my C63. Talk about a pretty good progression in cars!
I always joke that my next ride will be a jet if I keep on going =)

SLS is probably more tangible, and not to mention fun
