Getting car shamed :(

[RearAdmiral]

I try to keep my car out of sight at work just to avoid comments like that. There is an upper parking lot and not very many people park up there so that is where I hide my car. Great for avoiding door dings too.

BTW-I picked up a 2017 AMG C63 Cabriolet recently. I fricken love this car! Notice the complete lack of other cars nearby? I took this pic at my work.

My boss drives a Mercedes though so he understands. There are some nice cars here for sure but most drive econo-cars, SUVs or shit boxes.

Pretty nice looking car. I don't know much about euro cars but I could fap to that.

sounds like my 2014 C300 benz. but i found it with 21`k miles. love it and i love the looks i get of "holy shit you drive a benz?"

My wife gave me shit for years about my 'luxury' car. I got '12 c350. I paid less than she did for her CRV and I do all my own work. It hasn't been any more problematic than any other car I've owned. I just don't get it. I mean I had a corvette too for years and paid even less for that. Some people just can't wrap their head around the used market I guess.

Haha...my wife did that to me too, so I got her a 2014 Audi A6 TDI. It was sold as new in 2016, still had a year of warranty, and an extended 4 year warranty on fuel/powertrain systems due to "dieselgate". It had 28K miles on it and got it for $17900. Crazy deal! She absolutely loves it and feels all fancy driving around Keeps her off my back for car purchases too lol.

Wow! That's the one with the V8, right? Fantastic! (Not as nice as a BMW M4, but fantastic! )

Yes, 4.0l V8 Bi-Turbo, 469hp and 479lb-ft of torque and from what I've read it is putting that much power out at the rear wheels. It's a beast of a car and it has the AMG exhaust so in Sport+ mode it barks on downshift something fierce. Just an amazing car. Bought it off a 2 year lease for about $30k less than what they go for new. It has 16k miles on it.

I haven't driven the BMW M4.

Honestly, I don't think the M4 looks as good. It definitely doesn't sound as good.

Skip the M3 and just get a 340i. It's 90% of the M3 without the insurance costs or insane parts costs.

Model 3 is great car. You don't want the inferior dinosaur BMW version.

Better pic of my car. I removed the front license plate bracket and cleaned it up some. I'm really enjoying this car, it's a freaking rocket ship.
