Silver CL63 030 in Miami
I was on my way to work yesterday around 2 p.m. and saw a silver CL63 030 heading North on US 1 in South Miami. Anyone we know?

Don't know how common are CL63 030s in Miami, but they're still relatively uncommon in BH/SF...
Though had an interesting CL episode last ?Summer....dined at an SF restaurant and came out to see two silver/blk CL63 030s and a blk/blk CL63 030 parked in front of restaurant...all w/dealer paper plates (from same dealer)....the other CL owners were colleagues of mine and also regulars at this restaurant, and we had fun trying to figure out which silver CL was whose (one had cf interior and other had blk wood, as it was an earlier build before cf became available)....
One of the guys w/the silver CL (w/blk wood) later traded it in for a maj blk/blk/cf 030 simply b/c he was tired of seeing the various slvr and blk 030s around certain SF office pkg garages/residential areas.......

It's funny you should mention how common this vehicle is in SF, specifically Miami. In the 7 months I've owned mine, I have only seen one other (blk non 030) on I-95 a few weeks ago. Besides the silver one I mentioned above, and the blk/blk I saw at the body shop in September last year, that's it. I see a silver S63 in my neighborhood once in a while, but these 63's aren't a dime-a-dozen like the regular S classes and ML's. Either I don't drive in the right places, or they're more limited than one might think. As for the Maj Blk, mine may be the only one, or one of two in Miami AFAIK. I can tell you, though, that of the Premier Edition GL's like mine, I've only seen one other and of the 99 CLK Cabriolets silver with a blue top, I have only seen one other in the 9 years it has been in my possession, and that one had standard wheels, not the AMG's like mine. One would think that in so much time, if there were more copies of the same car, sooner or later one would see oneself driving down the road. Anyhow, it's a moot point.

Any decent looking car is an eye-catcher over here! So far, I spotted a whopping total of 2 new CLs on the road - both 550s.

Kinda not moot....
I was in Greensboro last year where S 63s are really rare parked my CLS 55 next to it. The next day I asked if it was a forum member and got a couple WTF posts. Just being neighborly.....
Are you a neonatologist?

I'm an ER specialist
We do see lots of trauma at our facility here in NC.
We have a place on the bay in South Beach to get away.
I have a friend who is a NICU nurse. My hat's off to you as well.
