You know what I say when I see someone running around? I say "Would you look at that, just look at that!"

My R9 is my holy mother of fifi god forever.

So don’t say it’s painful on every level, money can buy happiness, hooker or R9? The choice is yours, sir!

I'm burning for this 2019...I've even sent in the request for a shipping quote. It will be painful at every level. But look at it!!! And yes, it looks a bit like my current one...but there are plenty of differences.

You deserve it.
End of story.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

In the long-run the shipping cost won't matter. Just buy it. :-)

If it is a keeper (and with that top you should never, ever part with it), the purchase cost pain will subside much more quickly than the pangs of regret if you don't buy it.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Could be a printed top though. Better sleep on it for a few weeks till such horrible feelings subside.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Did think about looking for a pic of a hooker dressed in blue but then realised that the internet might throw up some "interesting" results! :lol:

Actually, I can understand this. The money buys a lot of hooking...although I imagine you have "needs" that would attract quite the premium.

So Grant, that does indeed look killer. What are the main differences construction wise to your current one? Does this one have the ‘custom buckers’, or is there a new secret sauce that they’ve gone with?
