Just got C63

Hi there.

Just picked up C63 the other day for our anniversary. The wife is going to drive it, but I am sure that I'll get the chance from time to time.

Very impressive vehicle. Really enjoying it and look forward to learning more about it, and participating on the forum.

Thank you

I am sure we will do some mods after we get a feel for it. Would like to do some clear front markers, I just have to track them down. Other stuff will come with time.

Sounds like you got the short straw being stuck with a 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8, not a bad car but nothing compared to a new C63. I hope your wife isn't the typical woman driver that runs over curbs and hits dips going too fast.

Agreed, but the 300C is pretty heavily modded so, no, it's really not a penalty. I have a business where I really should not be showing up in any MB, so it's just fine. That 300 has almost 80K on the clock with no problems whatsoever.

I'd like an E63, but the performance of the two cars is pretty similar so it's a hard decision...until you get to writing the check. Comparing the 2012 E63 and 300C SRT8 is very tough. Yes, I believe the E63 is a nicer car, but is it 2X the price nicer? A tough question.

Her DD was the Jeep. The front valance on that is much lower than the C63, so she understands about backing in to spaces and all that to keep everything nice.

Oh, and the Roadrunner is hers too. No, she's not typical.
