C63 Daily Driver Crew!!!
I didn't realize how truly ridiculous my C63 was until i got to Vancouver and rented a base 180HP impala.
This chevy floats over the road, making no noises and offering no steering feedback. Going over potholes in this car feels like going over a tiny hairline road crack in the Beast.
I can't even rev this engine over 4K when car is in P or N. I hammer the gas in the lowest gear and... hilarity ensues. The engine makes a little whining sound but the car doesn't really accelerate. Everything is on the other spectrum of insane compared to our AMGs.
With that being said, the Impala is just so much more... comfortable and practical. Drove a ****ton and only had to fuel up once for 30 American Pesos in WA. I'm sure my AMG would have tripled that easily.
Those of us who daily drive a C63 as our only car should be proud. Please check in here brothers!!

I DD mine.
23 miles each way to work.
I just got mine back yesterday, actually - she spent almost 4 months in the body shop. During that time, I had the "pleasure" of driving around a Hyundai Sonata. Christ was a pile of ****. I would gladly exchange any type of relative practicality for the joy a C63 brings.

I daily mine 40 miles round trip per day to and from work. I also didn't realize how great these cars were till I had to have the base c300 as a loner for a day.. that car was horrible. This was later again confirmed when I test drove the Jag F-Type and while it had similar performance the braking was horrible in comparison to a P31 setup. After a few short miles the Jag's breaks were cooking and smelling like hot brakes and began to fade horribly. We have supercar performance, breaking, and handling in a sport sedan !!

I daily my whip since I bought it in January. 150+ daily, 15000km since... not bad I drive from Stoney Creek(Hamilton) to GTA Monday to Friday. My car sees the good old QEW, Gardiner, and DVP daily
My GTAers will know the commute is great!!!
I've had a B250 loaner for last 4-5 weeks because of a rattle from my steering column. Can't wait to get my car back. The pull C63 has very little cars can match that feeling.

Do about 80 miles everyday driving back and forth from Venice to OC. Gas is cheap in CA relative to when it was almost 4.50$ a gallon a while back, so going to the pump every three days doesn't feel so bad... yet. But then again I judge this car not by mpg, but by spm (smiles per mile), so it's winning in that department. Borrowed a friends new E300 4-matic for the week about a month back and it obviously felt better driving over CA roads, but in overall comparison it really wasn't that much better in terms of comfort.

I daily mine. I wouldnt mind the mileage if the tank was bigger. Filling up every third day is a pain, especially in Vancouver where they are bulldozing all the gas stations to put up condo towers. There is no longer a gas station in downtown Vancouver.

Daily with catless LTHs and noisy Bridgestone RE-71Rs. And I love it...when it's not broken

DD here. 10 miles round trip through neighborhoods. Luckily that distance means I only fill up about every week and a half, but only if I don't drive it anywhere else which it usually stays parked. Soon as I get my new wheels and tires though it'll see more driving time.
*edit* And my car is stock exhaust but catless.

Bi-daily car for me now, but used to be a daily-daily.
Super smooh, quiet (well, in terms of zero drone), thumpy and ricey sounding exhaust note (which I strangely like) and somewhat reasonable fuel consumption for the car that it is....

I DD mine 9 miles each way. Love the sound and fury. Don't mind the gas mileage. Need to change the alignment to get better rear tire life out of it.

Daily drive mine as well on catless long tubes. my work drive is only a mile though . I do a decent amount of tooling around about 75 to 8k miles a year on my car. Fill up a lot but partially cause I like the throttle and on e85.

I've asked them. They don't notice the sound. I start the car with the garage shut and as soon as it lights off I open it. It blocks most of the sound. Right now it's in the shop for new fuel pumps and fuel sending unit. I also had the headbolts, lifters, valve stem seals, upstream O2 sensors, fuel rail pressure sensor and MAFs replaced...including normal maintenance, I am over $11,000 in maintenance since January
And I almost forgot...on the way to drop the car off for the fuel stuff, my oil temp sensor died
