2012 W204 AMG C63 Coupe
Wink Farewell AMG C63 folks

It is with some sadness that I bid you farewell my AMG C63 friends. I really loved my 2012 AMG C63 coupe. It has departed for the next chapter of it's life via Carvana (If you are interested in WDDGJ7HB7CF882544, reach out to me for the history of its life from 50K to 95K miles.) MBWorld has been a great forum, and I appreciate all of your advice.

I was a lifetime convertible and 6-speed MT driver, and for some reason, I made a brief detour with a 2015 C300 and the C63 into the world of non-convertible automatics. Now I've returned to my roots: I found a 2017 Camaro ZL1 convertible 6-speed manual. It was in NJ, and I flew there, and drove it back to San Jose, CA. It had only 3K miles, and I added 3.8K more. Whenever I miss the finesse of the Merc, I just tell myself "six hundred and fifty motherlovin' horsepower"!

Since "this post is useless without pics", feel free to jump over to my "Hello" post on the Camaro6 forum (seems to be down right now), or enjoy a few pics here.

(FYI, AMGBAHN Cali black plate soon to be replaced with CAM ZL1 black plate...)

Thx agp423, appreciate the kind words. I would not poo poo the Tesla though - you know the future battle is between the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S (Plaid). It's we stone age V8ers that are the dinosaurs.
