Its a different thrill about reps, the research, the modding, re luming polishing etc. bought case back openers just to marvel at the innards, tried removing hands etc!
With my gens i never dared open them nor even polish them, i send them to the AD. With gens its buy and wear.
With reps "its like a box of choclates, you will never know what you will get"
So it is hard very very hard to be done with reps. Its an adventure!
