1 year has flown by! I've put 12K miles on my S65 AMG with a 6L twin turbo V12. Whats it been like and what are the pros and cons of owning this car that Mercedes no longer makes?

And even my wife drives it and makes it pop and crackle and thinks it’s fun lol. Amg definitely knows how to create an experience and emotions while driving.

Very nice car - I don't get visual "upgrades" though: The blacked out chrome, too large wheels and aftermarket grill make it look like some tuned hood car, instead of the supreme and elegant cruiser it should be. Just my opinion!

@epicon6 2 ай бұрын

It’s not an aftermarket grille, but the facelifted grille. And the upgraded are cool in most people’s opinion because otherwise it would just look boring like he’s retired and moved to Florida, and all the upgrades are good content for the channel

Tuned hood car is a push lol it looks awesome. The upgrades just make it look sporty

@epicon6 2 ай бұрын

@@Donfrasl It’s not far from a tuned hood car though to be honest. This is not the cleanest setup. The color of the wrap looks sort of self painted, it’s a little too low even for a sporty low setup, the wheels aren’t as clean and classy and high quality as Vossens or HREs or Rotiforms would make it. So this would only need Lexani wheels and it would be certified as a tuned hood car 😂 When you don’t know how to create a nice classy and clean setup properly that actually elevates the class of the car there’s a fine line between a sporty look and a hood look. I don’t blame him for setting up his car like this because it’s all for content and it works, and i’m sure he doesn’t have Vossens on it because he got those for free for sure through a sponsorship. And in the end it’s up to the owner to do whatever they please and all us broke fellas should shut up and get this kind of dough so we can do our thing.

@fit_pharmd4830 2 ай бұрын

**Mike a few suggestions: you should branch out and do more car culture content. Examples: Road trips with friends thru multiple states, collabs with other KZfaqrs, buy/finance an affordable iconic vehicle and slowly modify it maybe a 90s or early 2000’s vehicle that isn’t super expensive to modify. I’m just pitching ideas so you can gain a larger following. Danger Ranger is great but it’s never going to be a resto mod. You need a project car that takes you across the states to different well known car garages where you can modify the car while you’re there and meet the crew. Idk, I’m just trying to help improve/expand your channel. The AMG stuff is your bread and butter but you’ve gotta have other car passions you can dive into!? Love you man!

Hey Mike, cheers from another Mike here on the west coast of Canada. First comment in 6 years. Watched you since your first tribulations with that water locked C63S. Had the opportunity to purchase a W205 C63S in 2021 and love it. Prior to that I missed out on a used 2013 W204 507 edition. Literally missed it by hours. Nevertheless I have warranty on this one to 2025 and ability to extend it. Your V12 sounds great but the V8 is plenty fun given the crap roads here. As a German ex-pat, I miss having the ability to stretch this car’s legs on say the A8 Autobahn between Nuremberg & Munich. But I live near a German built racetrack owned by the dealership group here and am able to take it out on the occasional track day. If you’re ever in the Vancouver area, drop me a DM.
