What is your other car / 'fun' car besides the C63?
1) I have a daily beater 2001 Toyota Camry CE - 206K miles, looks like it has 50K on her - just pristine! Made a homemade air intake, makes her GROWL!
2) My pride and joy is the Garage Queen herself, a 2000 BMW M Coupe... Caroline. 1 of 9 in the US in this color combo with a factory sunroof delete. It's 2000 manual 5 speed, 17K miles, bought from the original owner (wealthy guy who had a huge car collection in Georgia). Car doesn't have a spot on her - still smells new. The wife adores this car, and two boys LOVE it. Go figure I try to drive her at least a few times each month - aimless driving with no destination, just get in the car and drive around anywhere and everywhere til I decide it's time to go home ..
First three pics are the day she was delivered to me, last pic is when I had the windows tinted and the rear fender rock chip blocker applied. Car is still bone stock to the Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
My only plans are wider rims sometime in the next year or so (having difficulty deciding which deep dish to go with) and 295/305s in the rear. Keeping the car stock as possible for value purposes.
POST UP FELLAS!

I picked up a GLA45 AMG a couple months ago that will eventually replace my C300 as my winter car, but man is it a fun car to drive!

Oh, tires have been replaced! I swapped for the MPSS when I bought the car and the original owner swapped all tires once since he bought it new. sorry for the confusion!

Maybe what used to be fun cars, lol. Now they just sit.
Honda S2000 - still love this car. Have a turbo kit just waiting to go on it, but I don't drive it and I'll end up dumping even more money into it if I turbo it.
Honda Del Sol - Fully built 2.0 LS/vtec, sleeved, pistons, itr head, cams, itr trans w/4.9 final drive, blah blah blah. Now this was a fun car. Was cause I'm going to swap the motor for a more timid motor B20/vtec with itr cams and a B16 trans.
W205 C300 4matic - Fully loaded except distronic and ventilated seats. I actually bought this for my mom, but man this is a nice car. I enjoy driving it any chance I get.
As you can probably see, I'm a Honda guy :P. Started with Mercedes and then shifted to Honda and now I'm back with Mercedes. I need to get away from both and try something new. lol

I don't get rid of cars, just keep them.
Like others, my other cars don't get driven much, consume a lot of $$$, or scare the pants off people
1993 RX-7 with GT35R turbo, sits in the garage and gets less than a 1000 miles/yr put on it these days
2004 Subaru STi with an upgraded turbo (47 lb/min equivalent, can't remember the 'name'). Subaru is getting a rebuilt shortblock and will be turned into a track/autocross car.

Love an M coupe. Yours is in mint condition and here in my country, I hardly see any of those around anymore. Would love to own one maybe someday if not a supra.

C63 AMG 507 Edition
Thanks. Its worth the wait. When the next gen GT3 is released in the next year or two, its been all but confirmed they will have a manual option, which means quite a few GT4s should hit the market at that point. Should be able to pick one up at a good price point.
Just watched this video, and have a new dream car.

1987 Bmw 528e
Got it as a rust bucket with a seized motor. Did the swap and then got out of hand. Stripped the entire thing interior and reworked the body. Euro headlight/bumper conversion. I did all the work besides paint. These photos are what it looked like a year and a half ago. Currently sitting with a stripped undercarriage and engine paint. The bay has already been sprayed and ready to assemble.
Sadly had to let this go a year ago to purchase my first home. It's an 89 m3 with an 6 speed s54 swap. This car was a lot of fun and was fast.
