Default just saw a c63

I've seen a handful of M3s and S5s, but so far no C63s...until now - that's a great looking ride. Saw a white one parked at whole foods (somewhat ironic, dontchya think)...very striking in person. Maybe a little over the top with the exhaust tips and small rear spoiler, but a very hot looking ride. Much sexier than it appears in pictures.

I'll take two; they're small. Sorry, no pics (wouldn'tdo it justice anyways).

C63 looks sick in person. I almost went with the C63 but ended up buying a RS4 because of the manual tranny.

The rear actually isn't that impressive. The side profile and front look very aggressive, but the rear (besides the 4 exhaust tips) looks fairly mundane.

Either way, it would make a heck of a daily driver. I saw one here in Dallas last week cruising down the road. Even with gentle acceleration away from the light, you could hear the burble of the deep exhaust.

Only if Mercedez made one in manual.
Not that I can afford one or anything, but it'll be good to dream about it.

Got behind one on 120 between Oakdale & Sonora this weekend. Thought for kicks and giggles I would bait him into punching it. Freakin walked me like I was in reverse AND there were 4 guys in the car. Ohhh...and btw, the sound.....I needed to change my shorts. Beautiful car!
