C63 (wife's) E63 (mine) ML63 (gone)
So this just happened ...



While I spent a month in Asia, the wife decided my C63 was more fun than her ML63. So it got taken away. While I enjoyed the ML63, the E63 seemed more ... well ...

(To clarify ... Not a repo ... Haha. Wife took my C63 away and "made me" drive her ML63 because she liked the power. So I sold the ML and bought an E63 ... It finally arrive last night ........ This is the sober translation of my drunken ramblings from last night ... )

yep ... wife "stole" my C63 ... so i traded her ML63 for an E63 and joined the W212 crowd! This is how I spent my night ... after a very cautious driver unloaded a trailer of Hennessy Corvettes.

Expensive insurance claim if anything happens to that load!

Oh. Lol. Well we had been sitting in the driveway way waiting since 330 enjoying the sun and refreshments! So by 930 when he arrived brain function may have been demonized slightly.

Apologies

Hahaha. Sorry guys/gals. The power of rum is intense!!!

This one came from the Midwest. Over the last 3-4 days there were tornadoes and hail covering the pickup location. I was about ready to forfeit the deposit, hop a plane and just drive it.

Kept telling myself "it's just a car" but I scoured the country looking.

First drive this morning and the wife gets out and starts her "wow, I really like this one. So how is it different than 'yours'?" I nearly donkey punched her!!! She was trying to lay claim already 😡 Gotta love her for trying though. Haha

Hahaha that's funny, my GF asks everyday "when her cars gonna be here" 😑... Not happening. My plan is similar to yours, open garage, sit in chair, rum in hand and listen for a truck on day of delivery.

That is literally what we did. We call it "driveway drinking". Us and the neighbors meet in theirs or ours (driveway), pull out rocking chairs and sit until about 9 or so and drink the week nights away at least 2-3 nights a week. Sometimes even the firepit makes an appearance. 🍹

Unless she is a hard-core racer type, I'm sure her preference is for the E. E is, after all, bigger with a more comfortable ride. At the same time, the low-end torque from the M157 is certainly more noticeable and usable in daily driving compared to the M156 in the C63 (or do you have the W205 C63?).

W204. She texted me a lot saying "those cars with a plus sign sure are slow" ... She meant camaros. Lol. She loves the stop light acceleration ... And the Akrapovic! I will miss that. Is there a way to retro C63 Akra on an E63 ?

Hahaha. Thats rough! I can offer some Malibu, Captain 100, or Ballast Point Barrel Aged Three Sheets to tide you over.

The best offer might be my shipper though!
