`08 AMG C63
Vancouver Island new guy!
Hey Everyone. Just new to the site so I thought I`d do an intro.
I am 36 years old and live on the west coast of Canada. I got my first AMG a little over a year ago.

I own collision repair center and my accountant had his C63 damaged in an accident. It wasn`t too major so while we waited for parts to come from Germany he continued to drive the car. And about three weeks later he was in his second accident. The insurance company deemed that the two accidents combined was enough to write the car off. So that`s where I stepped in and bought the car from the insurance company. The damage was really minor so we repaired the car and I`ve been driving it ever since!

So I hope to meet some new people here and learn some new things!

-Ish

Welcome to MBWorld! Sounds like you got a pretty sweet deal, especially if you were able to repair it yourself! C63 is one beast of a vehicle. Let us know if you're ever looking to modernize her with whiter lighting. We've done full refreshes on hundreds of w204s
