This summer, we will be featuring member cars on our blog, where we will be taking a look at some of the more interesting cars and stories that have graced this forum in the past decade.

This week, I hand the keys of my own car, the C63 AMG Black Series, over to Mibz to rip around in. This car is pretty special for me, it's the first car in a decade that I've wanted to keep long term.

If you have an interesting car with interesting stories and would like to be featured, feel free to contact me via PM.

Did mibz choose the photo locations himself? :rofl:

Good article though :thumbsup:

[KRyn]

Great article! Really digging the last few articles, keep up the good work.

[Mibz]

:P Photos were done by our staff photographer.

I've been shooting each car near the owner's houses. Trying to keep that trend going, even if it means grungy ghetto Arbour Lake alleys. :rofl:

[shadowz]

I can say this car has the best "balance" where it can be very raw and fun when hammering on the throttle, to very cosy and subtle when just cruising. One of the more enjoyable cars I've ever driven

[J.M.]

good article, great car!

[rage2]

This car is officially the office slut.

[max_boost]

Nice mibz. U write good.

[shakalaka]

Very nice, enjoyed reading it. Sexy car.

[killramos]

Gorgeous, and a great writeup.

I am expecting a finale where all of the cars end up on a track! :D

Makes me regret not picking up a 507...

BTW, was the goal for the photoshoot to have a 'hood rich' vibe?

[ExtraSlow]

Are you kidding? That's a beautiful alley compared to the slums of Mount Pleasant.

[Skidro]

Great car!

[never]

And the shots to rage didn't get edited out...excellent!

Definitely a cool car...and the pics are great!

[CSMRX7]

This car may just have the best stock exhaust note ever! Perfectly matches the look too!

That was the goal, but it didn't turn out too well. At least 1 person picked up on it haha.

It's all about flipping the seats down.

[shakalaka]

I tried flipping the seats down on mine and couldn't do it. Lifted the knob and tried to pull them down but those bitches wouldn't budge! :(

I think the only knob is you haha. There's no knob to flip the seats down. You open the trunk, there's 2 levers below the back window (one for each side) that you pull to unlock it. Then you flip the seats down.

See page 204.

[schocker]

Do you have any 1080p pics for work wallpapers rage? :D

Should do some ghetto edition and drive around the NE and get a bunch of pics with airplanes in them

Lol really. :banghead:

I just saw the flush buttons behind the head rests of the back seats and lifted it up and tried to pull the seat down. It didn't work and I gave up. Granted I only gave it 30 seconds, didn't even think that the there might be levers in the trunk! lol

What's more shameful? Not reading the manual when you couldn't figure it out or admitting that you didn't in public? :rofl:

[shakalaka]

Haha I didn't care enough cause I never looked at it again. Then I got into a motorcycle accident and have been on bed rest for the last 3 weeks and never got the chance. I shall try it this weekend again when I go back up to Edmonton. :D

WIN!

I'm seeing that more and more actually. I think it has to do with Valet more than anything (you can lock out your trunk by pressing a button in your glove box which is physical key locked).

The whole process is invalidated if you can just fold the seats down hahaha

The 2 series is the same. Wish i had a dedicated valet key though...

Sure, which one specifically?

[NRGie]

After driving this beast I can see why rage loves it so much. And damn the exhaust note is priceless

Enjoyed the article too.

Doing a lot better as it's been a while (3 weeks tomorrow), thanks for asking. Luckily nothing broke but I got a fair bit of road rash on my right arm and leg. Some of the gashes were deeper than others which are taking a while to heal.

I am able to walk a lot better and move around the joints but the only downside is that these massive scars will be around for a while. Other than that, most likely will have to get rid of the bike if I don't want my gf and family to murder me. :(

Good to hear you are getting better.

A month after my wife and I got married we witnessed a van turn in front of a bike then take off after the collision. That ended my dream of ever convincing my wife to let me get a sportsbike. On the bright side you are walking, and at least you still have a fun car to drive!

As for the BS photoshoot, car looks sweet!!

Glad to hear you're okay. Gashes are just reminders. :)

Brutal man, hope you are feeling better.

My brother did the same thing two weeks ago...

Except his first response was to order a new bike :nut:

Thanks, yea this is pretty much it for me from the sounds of it. The gf or the family wasn't too happy with it in the first place, now they just have an excuse.

Thanks, plus I hear chicks love scars lol. I am just glad it's nothing serious and the scars aren't anywhere too prominent.

Haha thanks, my bike is fine for the most part. Not too much damage, I am fixing it and selling it.





On a side note, I think we've derailed Rage's thread enough now, so a question for Rage pertaining to the BS. How different does it feel from driving a C63 with PP?
