Spotted a CLK63 Black Series in Indy...I am in love.
So I was in my E63 and zipping home at a bit of a rapid pace when I looked over at the Mercedes dealership and through all of the cars, I swore I spotted a familiar shape. I evidently got a look like I just saw a ghost because my wife asked me what was wrong. I said, 'Ummm...I know we are running late, but I need to turn around...now'. Concerned initially, she asked me why. I said, 'I am fairly certain that I just saw a Black Series'. Now, far less concerned since she realized it was a car, she was not amused when I hit the brakes and turned around to go back.
I have been going back and forth on what I want for my next car, and I had never seen a CLK63 Black Series in person, so was leaning towards something of the 911 GT3 or Turbo variety. Not anymore. I am in love. The CLK63 Black Series looks epic, and I can only imagine how much fun it must be to drive. Here is a quick picture that I took of my E63 next to all of the goodness that is the CLK63 Black Series.
Since it was a Sunday, and it was a customer car outside the service doors, I went in the next day and asked them to give my information to the owner so that I could get some impressions of the car from an ownership perspective, but have not heard back. Either way...there is no decision anymore. I have to have one. The garage must have two AMG with that amazing V8 motor.

Just found this old thread of mine, and I still remember this day and seeing that wonderful car. As I sit here, 4 years later, I am 1 year and 2 months into CLK63 Black Series ownership, and I still absolutely love that car. Yes, I miss the E63, but The Black is a whole different level of fun and awesomeness. Color me lucky.
