Off and running in the "6-3"

So i picked up the C63 on Sat...had it for a week and am amazed an nearly every aspect of the car...honestly, beast is an understatement.

Here is my list of pros/cons to date:

Pros:
1) Acceleration--so I've bypassed the break-in period just a bit...had to see/hear her RUN!! OMG!!
2) Handling--Took a bend that I used to take at 60mph max in my 2007 3.5 SL Altima at 70mph...and had plenty of room to extend
3) Sound system0--like the CONTROL and the sound with 13 speakers is sweet...good low end and sounds beautiful
4) Overall appeal--I just really love driving, being seen, giving it a short rev or two and having people spin around

Cons:
1) Gas mileage--not too concerned, otherwise I wouldn't have purchased this car, but..OUCH! "63" stands for more than displacement...like, add a "K" and its the cost; add a "mpg" and its your gas mileage.
2) Navi system--somewhat hard to use...can't just enter a home address and then push the button and say home...that is standard pretty much on every other system I've seen
3) Black = dirty (inside and out)...the napa leather (black) and exterior show even the smallest smudges...oh well--its pretty when clean
4) Trunk space--small golf bag has to be angled and can barely fit...although it shows big, it doesn't have much cargo space...was a little disappointed with that.

Overall: A...the cons aren't that bad, esp. knowing what you are getting.

All I can say is that I SMOKED some Z28 today...and I was cruising in manual and didn't downshift, but I easily pulled past him (and fast enough to get out of the cloud of black smoot he emptied into the air when he hit it).

Lovin life...glad to be a card holder, and easily the best money I've spent! Just thought I would share. I'll post some pics when I have time to take them.

Thanks...I am loving every second...One thing I love/hate is the black on black...I already "ruined" the leather in the back seat using an Armor All Leather Wipe...discolored the leather making it darker...forcing me to basically wipe down the entire back seat...also, the outside is the most beautiful in my opinion when clean...however, that when almost never comes...I am never taking it out when there is so much as a cloud in the sky...now I understand why my dad HATED driving me somewhere in his black Eldorado when it was raining
