you know that not only are there a ton of machines on Indianapolis CL, there are also a ton at GW. And to rub salt into an open wound, the GW store there WON'T SHIP.
so I always see machines I want, and can't get.

I would say it is rather elegant.

I would think that a little clean up might go a long way in increasing the appeal of these:

I completely agree. The 2nd one is filthy.
