I'm in NY, Brooklyn to be exact though my work takes me all over NYC, and it's not impossible to own a car here just annoying. You can't just drive around aimlessly not knowing where construction is going on or where the bad roads are with a car like a C63 unless you like causing damage to your wheels, tires, suspension, alignment, paint, lights, and windshield. That said there are good roads where you can enjoy a high performance car without too much concern. Not to mention there are some excellent scenic and driving roads in NY just north and east of the city.

But if I had my way, NY is not where I would be. In the future when family obligations no longer keep me bound to NYC I'm going someplace warmer and hopefully more tax friendly lol

That's too bad. I loved the car, had it for 3 years... it's one of the few cars that I can say I'm wasting LESS gas by switching to a C63

I just wanted something that was a little more practical but could keep up, and the C63 had always been a favorite of mine.

The GT500 was a real beast though, it was strictly a summer car and would go away for the winter... the C63 I have no problem driving through snow or bad weather, easier to toss around and much more compliant.

It's difficult to have a car in NYC. When living in Manhattan, one friend paid $400/month just to have his M3 parked in a "sardine can" lot at the bottom of the building. You know, the type where you don't have your space, and all cars are parked bumper to bumper and side mirror to side mirror in this tiny lot. You give your key to a parking attendant, hoping he/she doesn't abuse your car or take it for a joyride. Of course, it takes a while to retrieve your car, too. Obviously, tips are pretty much obligatory everytime.

After a while, this friend moved his M3 across the Hudson River to be parked for $200/month at a parking garage in Jersey City or Hoboken. He came over to drive it once or twice a month just to make sure the battery stayed alive. I believe he disconnected the battery terminal meanwhile.

My buddy's dad has a penthouse across from Carnegie Hall that overlooks Central Park. I have never seen a nicer NYC Apt parking garage (and I have seen a lot of them)...each apt owner had a bigger and more spacious section than most suburban house 3/4 car garages. Maybe that portion of the garage was only for the penthouse owners, not sure (there was 3 of them, but since then I think my buddy's dad bought out one of them and expanded his into a gigantic apt, thereby also doubling the space of his parking garage). Funniest part is he only has one car and rarely uses it.

Vic, why an M5 and an M6?
