Well gents, I was holding off until everything had gone through and worked out. The c63 is sold and should be on a trailer off to it's new home sometime next week. As much as it pains me to say, my step-father who raised me committed suicide last Friday. He was married to my mom for 12 years and was the family's financial backbone. So, the one thing I have going for me right now is that I will have an extra $1100/mo in my pocket to help out my Mom and just get things going again. I will be stuck in a 3 liter x5 but that will have to do for now and at the end of the day it does it's job getting me from A to B and is actually pretty nice to be in so it's not all bad.

I was actually lined up to get into that E63S I posted and raved about a few weeks back but as mentioned above things are quite different now.

I wish I could say I'll miss this place, but I am actually looking forward to the time away. These boards seem to have been slowly changing direction or at least here in the w204 section but that is just the nature of forums. Awesome community while cars are higher in price, but now these things can be had low 20's and we get a bunch of that crowd. Not speaking down on anyone, but it just is an atmosphere I'll enjoy a break from.

Anyway, it was a long week, and I just want to thank the buyer (if he see's this) for being so patient and bearing with me and you guys through a the 3 years of c63 ownership on my end. I was as on top of things as I could be and we wrapped up the funeral today so tomorrow I will begin a new adventure I'm sure.

Cheers fellas

I am so very sorry for your loss, and saddened to hear about this tragic turn of events. Take good care of your mom, and yourself, cos at a time like this thats what really matters. Cars, forums etc are all just amusing diversions really, but thanks for the time that you have put in here. You have made a real impact.

Kiva, I hope you read the responses in this thread and pick up on what I am getting from them....

that there are a lot of people here who genuinely like you and care about you, enjoy interacting with you, respect you and what you have done, and who appreciate what you have done for them and are wishing you all the best.
Silver lining, my friend. Its good to be loved.

And remember, we haven't lost our loved ones.
We know where they are

^ I've been going through and thanking as my way of acknowledging that I see everyone.

As much as I try to walk away, coming here as become such a daily routine that I keep doing it anyway. I'm sure I'll still chime in from time to time and would be lying if I didn't admit I already looked at a couple c63 coupes as a cheaper option to an e63 hah.

I know that in a few months time my sanity will need an AMG.

One good thing, my step-father was a smart man, and we were well off, so as we have been putting pieces together over the past 10 days we are finding that my mom, step-brother, and step-sister will be well taken care of financially in the coming weeks and months so I am a little more at ease.

However, at the end of it all we would rather have him back.

Thanks for the support everyone.
