Just Got ONE!!!
Well hello everyone,

Just wanted to share my excitement. I just picked up an 07 KBP Type-S. Only had 17000 miles on her. Pretty much brand new not even a scratch anywhere or signs of any wear. I will post up some pictures tomorrow afternoon after i shine her up a bit. Thanks for listening.

Chris

i got it for 28k. they originally wanted 30k for it but i talked them down and they threw in a 4 year warranty along with gap insurance. I checked kelley blue book and it was almost 33k i believe. I think i got a good deal, but i could be wrong. hahaha

not sure if i have any mods planned. I also said that when i bought a Subaru STI and ended up spending 6k in mods..haha I dont really feel right now that it needs anything. I guess the navigation hack stuff but i dont really feel comfortable doing that since i just bought the car..lol

sorry about the pics guys and girls, it hasnt stopped raining here since i bought the car. Hopefully tomorrow if it stops i will get some pics. It is pretty basic and stock but i think its pretty sexy. i love the sound of the 3.5L. It grumbles a little bit, but i think i will leave it stock, i changed out my exhaust on my STI and it was pretty loud and im not looking for that just the luxuries in life. lol

currently i am a 19D and was in A TRP 5-15 Cavalry.. so glad to be done with that place. The new chain of command is making it absolutely ridiculous.

I like the Type S...a lot! Love the "wet look". And the Navy version of the Blackhawk is called the Seahawk!

I've only been on one Seahawk (SH-60) and found it to be pretty smooth. Not sure what you meant by ramp? I know it has side doors, like a Huey. The SeaStallion is very shaky and has a ramp.
