Well, Stealth, if she is really a lady (I have found that most Allante ladies have a little bit of tart in them) then let her get dolled up before that photo shoot.
Bill - my Hot Rod (Amante) hasn't sent any spa vacation pictures lately - although I think the new wheels have arrived - Vogue Sage IIs
He can stay at the spa as long as he needs - but I need him in May - road trip to Santa Fe, he was invited to a car show.

Bill,
Got it on a handshake. It was 1st owned by the wife of a USAF Col in Jacksonville Fl,
then transfered to another gentleman in Texas. In some ways, she better than expected,
in others, not as good.
Damn parking lots do make a lasting marks on some cars.
Engine, trani, interior, exceeded my expectations.
Soft Top, NEW ! Tires .. almost new, probably 95%.
Here is the FINAL SCOOP ..
Dallas to Los Angeles, terminal to terminal, $418 ALL COSTS INCLUDED (no wash, no wax, no detailing .. )
Then .. I had AAA flatbed the car 30 miles to the home cave .. cost of that ? $0.00 .. well .. I did tip the
friendly driver $10, he did deserve it .. everything I requested he answered .. "yes, sure, no problem".
Travel time: delivered in Dallas on Friday afternoon, arrived here yesterday Tuesday morning.
Somewhere along the way, the ashtray took a walk ...
Fox,
she IS a lady .. was very embarrassed to travel on public showing the dirt of the 1,400 mile journey ..
upon unloading off the flatbed, she quickly took a fast shower to feel better, took a spin around her
new neighborhood and then she quickly retreated into the cave for a nap.
she is not moody .. so far .. maybe too tired from travels to be moody?
...

I know the analog in the '88 does just fine .. its been soaked before.

Stealth,
You left the lady out in the rain...
If she now gets moody you have only yourself to blame.

Fox,
There was no rain forecasted ...

now she's a bit unkept and soaked ...
I think I'm gonna be made to pay ....

You can buy my 93 if you want. It has a pretty fresh motor, and I've never left the top down in the rain, so it's not a FLOOD car.
Good luck dude.

Knowing Zal, I don't think he would appreciate such a low life award. It might cause actions of great sabotage or ?

No offense to ANYONE involved in that award at AN .. but ..
For the month of Feb 2008, AllanteNet crashing has got to be the biggest ooppsss I can possibly imagen.
THAT being said, and with all the humor intended on the subject award, I personally find it distasteful,
somewhat offensive, unfriendly, and as a MODERAOR, I would certainly NOT allow it. But that is me.
So, no .. I am not recommending that it be given to anyone responsible for crashing the site.
=================
As for MY '92 .. she is in the sun, sunbathing and drying out, battery disconnected to avoid any shorts on
the digital dash, maybe Dick can chine in and talk about that possibility?
Dick .. you out there?
Anyone else that knows what to do after a digital dash gets wet ?
slowroll ?
Katz ?
Fox ?
brougham ?
zinzin ?
