Hello Mbworld members, 2010 C63 here in Hercules. Don't see many C63s on I-80 when heading to work (SF).

Anyone on this board driving a white C63 coupe? I spotted the car by Golden Gate fields going West on 80. Car looks amazing in person.

Is anyone adept at wrenching their own car? I'm looking to pick up some basic skills if anyone is competent and willing

As far as modifications, I take my car to Sonic Motorsports in Mountain view, they have done an amazing job for everything I have taken my car in for.

We all should definitely do a local drive. Me and my friends are thinking about going out and doing a drive at SCAGS up north next week saturday. Not sure how many of you have been out there but its, in my opinion, one of the most fun roads out here in the bay.

We were thinking of meeting up somewhere in the east bay around 9am and then heading out there. Would anyone else like to join us?

* so far its me (c63), and 3 other friends (e92 m3, e46 m3 and porsche 911 turbo)
So your experiences here have been good? I stumbled upon this shop while going to Frankie, Johnnie & Luigi.

My gf and her parents are addicted to their spaghetti. They don't order anything else any time we go.

Yes sir, they absolutely have! Sonic has done a ton of stuff for me and so far, all their work has been top notch, heres what ive done from them:

- cf front lip install
- cf side gills install
- cf mirror cover install
- cf diffuser install
- cf trunk spoiler install
- quaife LSD install (includes free diff fluid change)
- replaced oem sidemarkers with clear side markers
- installed brand new 8000k lights (eyebrows, side markers, low beams, turn signals and fog lights)
- painted grill 100% gloss back
- painted lower grill 100% gloss black
- sanded, buffed and clear coated my headlights (they had a lot of rock chips in them)
- powder coated my wheels 50% gloss black

And as far as the end result, im totally in love haha. So for me, its been a good experience, when it comes to C63's, they know what there doing. ill be going to them again at the end of summer for an x-pipe and potential header install too!

How about one day next week in the afternoon/evening? We're spread all over and I'm sure we're all busy so it'll be difficult to accommodate everyone.

Looks like decent number of C63 owners in the bay area. I dont have one yet, but looking out for one. Not too many out there for sale which makes it a bit tough to negotiate.
I currently drive a 2011 Audi A5. Hope to meet you guys sometime soon :-)

Okay, I'm thinking somewhere mid-peninsula since that's where most folks seem to be or at least not far from SJ. I'll have to make the trek over, but I'm on that side frequently so it's not a big deal. Any suggestions on city or venue?

I'm assuming most C63 owners are pretty young. Theres a good hookah place in downtown Palo Alto if anyone wants to meet up there.
