2009 C63 - 2019 C43
Excuse me but is that...

So last weekend i pulled into Sheetz to get some gas. Got the pump started then all the sudden a cop pulled up right behind me. At this point i was trying to remember if i was speeding or if i had cut anyone off?? The Officer ' in his late 30s i'm guessing' came out of his car and said "Excuse me but is that a C63 AMG? That's my dream car! I followed you for a bit there" It was such a relieve to hear him say that because i thought i had done something wrong and was about to get a ticket.

"why Yes officer, yes it is" so yeah we chatted for a few mins about the car and he said that he pulled over so many M3s but rarely see the C63. and that he'd take the C63 over the M any day of the week. I live out in Manassas VA, i'm guessing there aren't many around the area. Just thought i'd share the story with you guys...

Funny! The same thing happened to me around Xmas, but he was an SFPD officer off duty. He ended up pulling the trigger on a C63 a few months later. We chatted for a little while, but it was certainly less "thrilling" of an encounter

in Sydney C63's are everywhere. I am guessing they outsell M3's by quite a margin.

Actually, there are quite a few C63's in the DC MD VA area.

Do you just have the center piece for a front spoiler, or am I not seeing the whole thing? Just wondering bc I am weighing different front lip options.

Agree, I just don't see very many of us in the area. I can go weeks without seeing one.

Great story. VA cops have a bad reputation because of strict traffic laws in VA. Good to see that there are enthusiasts out there who appreciate awesome machines.

I see 2 or 3 every week.. guess it helps that I drive from MD to VA every day.. there is a red one with diplomatic plates that parks near my building in Balston and eats at either Chipotle or Pot Belly. There is also a white one I see parked near Starbucks on Fairfax drive somewhat regularly. Also see a new ML63 every other week or so near Pentagon City Mall when I am driving home.

Used to see a white lady with blonde hair from the 80's... seriously wild hair.. probably keeps hair spray companies in business .. in a black C63 just down the street from me in Bowie, but have not seen her in a while

The red one w/diplomatic plates is on here Maroonc63 i believe. Met him at an OE tuning a few years ago. I've seen a few around reston and a couple around Loudoun/Dulles.
