well, it's not a kx500 but its pretty close....

story: my friend seth has/(had) a saab 900turbo all tricked out with the blow off's and nice rims, exhaust etc.. well he installed brembo brakes 2days before a huge rainstorm and wasnt used to the high stopping power they had. so its pouring and hes on a backroad doing 55 and comes around a sharp turn to fast, so to slow down he hits the brakes... they lock up. he slides into 2 trees and then a new impala. the imp had $2500 of damage to it and the saab has a bent frame... he need's $ because the guy with the imp said if he can pay for the damage in cash he wont get insurance/police involved. so seth sold me his nasty atk 409 with a new topend, new f/c suspension, new plastics, and a new pipe for a cool $800 heres some pics of my nasty new whyp.

yeah... hes completely bs. but hes also a real responsible kid and his insurance would go sky high if he didnt pay the $2.5K in cash, so he didnt really have a choice

(ps he was doing 55 in a 30 w/ wet roads and worn tires... so hes really really at fault on that one)
