Talking New Car, New Plate

Well, I tried to get something else, and apparently I just can't get away from the C63 (yes, that's a good thing, this is my third one in a year and a half).

This time around she's diamond white with black/red interior, and all the goodies except from the PP and parktronic.

I think everyone here will appreciate the plate...a little bit of a "sleeper shout-out" if you will...but ya gotta know your stuff to pickup on it. (it's the displacement of the engine)

Last car had CF5's, this time I'm on CF10's and they are matte black.

Totally love the car, and wanted to just share a couple of photos.

Will post high res pics once the car is clean and lowered...waiting on springs to arrive tomorrow.

Missed you guys and missed the AMG product even more (no offense fella's!)

Most welcome...and more importantly CONGRATULATIONS!

I would assume that you are enjoying the car?!?

Nice! I love the bronze wheels...I think those are the same one's on the C63 done by Vivid Racing?

LOL - the first one was sold because someone approached me about it. Second one I sold because my wife and I are expecting and I wanted to get something bigger, but couldn't live without the AMG so picked up another one.

It's a vicious but beautiful cycle.

Nice come back!
My wheels are CF10 as well. The only C63 done by vivid that i know is CoolBDPhenom03's red car with HREs.
So what did you end up buying bigger?

?? Random.

The possibility of something happening and it actually happening are two very distinct things...theory vs. reality.

I had springs on my last car and never had an issue.

I guess it's as simple as knowing that your car is low and paying attention to what's in-front of you. (whole point of driving)

FYI a stock C300 will shred bumpers all day long on stock suspension and those cement parking stops.

EOR.

Oh yeah that's right...they look so similar.

Ordered the wife an ML :-) Should land about 2 months earlier that necessary just in case that little girl is as eager to greet the world as I was.

ML..63? ML is a nice car maybe lacking a 3rd row. That's why i ended up buying a Mazda CX9 as family car.
By the way congrats on the soon to be new baby born

Thanks! She was dropped today so will be taking some high-res photos as soon as it stops raining and sleeting here...

Thanks for the plate comment! My goal was to have something that only the people in the know would understand...

Nope unfortunately not - would have loved that but couldn't justify that level of car for our first one...

I can only imagine what the baby seat would do to the leather!

But, to answer your question, ordered an ML350 with literally everything on it (even the air suspension)...

Did someone just say RennTech ELM?

If so, yes, that's the plan.

Will upgrade to GL once we get a second one.

Thank you very much for the congratulations - we are certainly looking forward to her entrance into our lives! I guess you could argue that that has already begun.
