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, Mibz rips around in the grandpa mobile, Benyl's Mercedes E63S AMG Wagon. Check out what he has to say about the fastest car he's ever driven.

I feel like I need to add that benyl is a chill guy. I didn't get much of a chance to talk about him in the article but, like most of us, he's not the ass he portrays online :P It was a seriously fun time, and I'm upset the article doesn't convey that.

[shadowz]

Love this car, easily favorite wagon on the market right now

[mrsingh]

So nice! :drool:

[schocker]

See it downtown often, sounds so good and looks nice too!

[kvg]

That would be my perfect car right now, too bad it's currently above my pay grade:cry:

[94boosted]

One of the nicest wagons I've ever seen :thumbsup:

And x2 on those active bolsters being a bit weird at first.

[killramos]

beautiful, trying to get the small car thing out of my system for a while before life necessitates a move to something bigger.

Great article.

[never]

The age of high HP sedans and wagons is awesome...and this E63S is a perfect example!

[86max]

I enjoyed reading that, well done. Car is sick too

[max_boost]

Mibz where's your special user title. you get to drive all the cool cars etc.

[xnvy]

Have played Forza with Benyl. Can confirm that he is both nice and a cunt :D

Seriously nice car though. I see it around occasionally and it looks amazing. Sounds epic too.

No need to rock the boat and ask for a custom title :P

[eglove]

Saw this the other day on country hills. So goddamn nice. Even my gf was like holy!!!

[avishal26]

I personally love the high performance wagons. I wouldn't replace my SUV with one, but I would definitely consider the E wagon when its time to replace my aging sedan... in a couple of years :D

I definitely can't afford an E63S AMG at the moment lol maybe an E500 wagon??

Good article.

[rage2]

There is no E500 wagon. The Wagons either come in E350 (E400 w/300hp turbo next year) or E63S. You can't even get a non S next year haha.

The E400 has jump seats options, AMG ones do not.

[avishal26]

^ E400 it is! :D

I'm just picturing rage as clarkson and
Mibz as Hammond...

I'll volunteer to be a cameraman. For this topgear concept, or the next time you guys need a gangbang filmed, which I think you'll find is pretty often.

[xnvy]

Does that make Benyl, May?

I might be old, but you are definitely "Captain Slow"

You guys should do a challenge series at the end of the summer to wrap everything up

Get 3 people to procure 3 different member cars; then have a number of challenges you need to complete with those cars to determine the winner (minus the destruction like actual Top Gear, haha). For instance... how many balloons can you fit in it, or a parking challenge for downtown, or how many thumbs up can you get on 17th ave.... etc

Video format would be fun, but it could all be summed up in an article as well.

Could be fun!

I sense the start of something good and lucrative! Beyond already has a good reputation in Alberta as a Car Forum - if you start doing reviews and videos from a truly car enthusiast perspective - I see dolla dolla bills!

I will volunteer to drive any member's C63 or M3 or M5 or S7 or S4 or S6 or.... I guess the list could go on....
I could be STIG! :angel:

[ExtraSlow]

Maybe a "calgary's worst driver" challenge in some meber cars? I'll volunteer a boring minivan or pickup truck to the challenge.

[schocker]

You can do a guess the race segment so we can guess the races of certain members :rofl:

[ExtraSlow]

You are all asian. I am the only white guy on beyond. FACT.

EDIT, I guess HeavyFuel is white too. But that is it!

Sugarphreak is very white. He also is nothing like Johnny Bravo.

Please make someone review the Isuzu against the E63 and compare them as chick magnets and corporate cruisers :rofl:

Shit, it's summer, we're all giddy from the heat . . .

[flipstah]

Nothing like some wagon burnouts to get rid of the heatstroke from your system.
