And then we have the "original design" by granny lalo and her band of russian gnomes.

Don't see any resemblance. The IWG is a Special Edition.

The first Illinois is unspeakably cool. The IWG version is unspeakably ghey. Like, Truman Capote eating a Thuringer ghey.

Yes, I agree with the peanut gallery; the Illinois is good. That other one, not so good.

What is the deal with the crown on that Infecta?

Is it a coincidence that "In Cold Blood" is next on my reading list?

Supposedly, Truman Capote had anal sex with either Richard Hickock or Perry Smith in the joint, I forget which.

However, enjoy the read!
