Women's 15-Pocket Voyager Vest 29 29
Voyager Vest is Terrific This Voyager Vest is terrific. The pockets are great and I love the zippers. Also the khaki color is an excellent hue. November 21, 2014
Ode to pockets I wish that I had this vest for my first travel tour experience this past autumn. The multitude of pockets would have been perfect for storing subway and museum tickets, as well as maps, receipts, glasses (reading and sun), loose Euro coins, and a spare wind shirt or scarf. I saw it on sale and purchased it immediately, because I knew that it would be of great value to me. Either of the two zippered external pockets of my Women's small vest can hold an iPad Mini. This is great for pre-loaded audio tours and guides. The cut of the small is comfortable for my size 6 frame. There is room to layer the vest over a light jacket or fleece cardigan. But the shape is not boxy. Plus the bottom hem is adjustable to keep it close to the hips. The charcoal color contributes to the sophisticated look of this vest. I don't look like I am on safari. There are 4 interior pockets, one of which zips, and two that have velcro top closures. I can't yet comment on how well the garment launders. I'm wearing it around the house so that I have an excuse to wash it. But so far, this vest meets all my expectations. November 20, 2014
Very nice fabric and a good, useful vest for travel or walking around. I own 4 of them! October 18, 2014
Love This Vest! Purchased two of these vest in different colors. They arrived quickly and fit and look great. Would purchase again. October 18, 2014
So glad I bought this. This vest is great. I wear it when I take my grandchildren on outings. The weight is just right, but does add an extra layer of warmth when needed. There is a pocket for everything and I have two hands free for holding little hands. Perfect. October 18, 2014
fits fits great 39 l3ft 31 left 23 left 15 left 7 left 1 October 16, 2014
Really like this vest. My husband has the men's and he loves his too. We wear ours when we travel so we can put all our stuff in the various pockets that we need for the plane ride or when we are on a tour, etc,etc Made well and comfortable too. October 15, 2014
Finally I have been looking for this vest for 2 years. The color & features are exactly what I wanted. I am a vest person and this one will get a workout, at home and away. October 14, 2014

You can work out the number someone else is thinking of as follows. Ask a friend to think of any natural number less than 100. Then ask them to tell you the remainders when this number is divided by. . . .
Here are three 'tricks' to amaze your friends. But the really
clever trick is explaining to them why these 'tricks' are maths not
magic. Like all good magicians, you should practice by trying. . . .

About Donna
I love to travel and use Homeaway properties for my vacations. I have hosted many foreign exchange students from around the world and love welcoming new people into my home.
Donna purchased this house in 1996
Why Donna chose Chicago
Large single family home with 4 levels of living space AND a private back yard with deck. This is not a condo! Very private. This house used to be a three flat (had three 2 bedrooms apartments) and was converted to a single family home in the early 1990's.
What makes this house unique
It is a single family house that is located only a few blocks from the Lake Michigan and the park. Wrigley Field is just north of the house. When you step outside, the area is filled with shops, great restaurants and super close to public transportation. My rear yard is a perfect oasis in the city.

On April 18, 2013, Google announced that Google+ Comments were being enabled into their Blogger platform. Almost overnight, blogs that appeared to have little reactions or comment activity became a vibrant community of reactions and shares.
Last month I received a message from Citrix about the renewal of my GoToMyPC account. After having success with GoToMeeting at Three Deep, I signed up for their GoToMyPC service in order to be able to remotely access my home computer while at work or traveling. The service is very slick and easy to use, but I haven't really used it nearly as much as I intended while signing up. In fact, I can't remember the last time that I actually used the service.
Last Tuesday, Three Deep had the honor of hosting a Google Engage Connect Event. Three Deep was one of just a small selection of agencies asked to host this event for small businesses to improve their online marketing initiatives. We were fortunate to have a few of our friends join us despite the snowy weather, both in the office, and online.
Last week Google Announced major changes to their AdWords platform by rolling out an "Upgrade" to AdWords called Enhanced Campaigns. This is one of the largest changes to the AdWords system in years and has been discussed quite frequently by search marketers across the globe.
While this may be an actual enhancement for some, we view it as mostly marketing speak by Google to put a positive spin on a fairly unpopular set of changes among search marketers.

The pilot reported that moderate rime ice had accumulated on the airplane during the inbound flight to the fixed-base operator (FBO). FBO employees reported seeing 1 1/2- to 2-inch thick ice on the wings' unprotected surfaces, the left wing's radome, and the propeller spinner and around the stall indicator when the airplane arrived. The pilot removed some of the ice with his hand and declined an offer to have the airplane deiced or put it in a heated hangar. Subsequently, the airplane was parked outside at the FBO for about 1 hour, during which time it was snowing and sleeting. Witnesses reported that they did not see the pilot check the tail surfaces for ice and that, when the airplane taxied for takeoff, they saw ice on portions of the airplane, including the radome, and snow on the wings' surfaces. The pilot reported that, during takeoff, the left wing dropped and was not generating lift, likely due to the ice on the airplane's surface. The airplane veered left, impacted terrain, and then caught on fire before coming to rest. A postaccident examination of the airplane did not reveal any failure that would have resulted in the loss of control.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

As members of Congress return to Washington this week the mood stands in stark contrast Christmas' message of peace and goodwill. House and Senate negotiators are offering the American people: $42 billion in budget cuts and a $453 billion defense spending package; drilling in the Artic, reductions in student loans and more cuts in welfare benefits. In addition, there are roving wiretaps, and maybe enough strong-armed persuasion to extend the Patriot Act. Where is the "gift" to those displaced by Katrina and to those waiting for both houses of Congress to act, so they can rebuild their lives and move toward wholeness?
The New York Times has uncovered the National Security Agency's practice authorizing the federal government's Orwellian practice of "spying on its own citizens." Some ask, "must we sacrifice our rights to privacy for the 'gift' of freedom?" Moreover, on behalf of Khaled El-Masri, an "innocent victim" affected by the CIA's policy of "extraordinary rendition," a lawsuit has been filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) . The ACLU charges former CIA director George Tenant with authorizing "kidnapping a foreign national for the purpose of detaining and interrogating him outside the law. It finds the CIA "snatch[ed] Mr. El-Masri off the street…hiding him away in a secret prison, and keep[ing] him imprisoned after his innocence was established." The lawsuit challenges us to ask if some wish to take away the "gift" of "the rule of law [as] central to our identity as a nation?"
The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams recently observed, "Christmas reminds us of one thing we know for sure . . .God doesn't wave a magic wand, or descend briefly from the sky to clean things up. He arrives on earth as a human being who will change things simply by the completeness of his love. New things become possible for us, new levels of loving response and involvement ... Faith is restored and strengthened not by talking but by witness in action.
In this New Year, be God's watchman on the city wall. Let Congress and the White House hear from you. Act to preserve Freedom, act to guard Truth. Act out of love for those who suffer injustice in this New Year.
Call the White House at (202) 456-1414 and the U.S. Congress at (202) 224-3121.
Tell the President and Your Representative that:
"The Gift of Liberty Endures" Protect our Constitutional rights! Feed the Hungry! Care for the Earth!
Urgent! At the end of December 2005 Congress extended the USA PATRIOT Act until February 03, 2006. The Senate and House Judiciary Committees will convene at the end of January to decide on the fate of the USA PATRIOT Act. Call the Senate and House Judiciary Committees and tell them to protect our civil liberties! Ask them to oppose the USA PATRIOT Act.

Enough of the Vietnamese restaurants already! Just kidding. You can never have too many Vietnamese restaurants, and judging by the preponderance of new ones opening around town, the genre's giving the chop-suey biz a run for its noodles. Four Seasons took a chance by opening along a mile-long stretch of South Grand that boasts eight Vietnamese restaurants. On the downside, the menu is huge, and about half the items are Chinese dishes listed by their Vietnamese name. But a close reading of the menu reveals that the Four Seasons folks know what they're doing: Check out the lobster, whole tilapia, clams, crab, eel and catfish that bulk up the seafood section in addition to the typical shrimp. Quail and frog legs are rare finds in most local Vietnamese restaurants. Not here. Chim cut ro ti, three quail split and marinated in coconut juice and spices, steamed, then tossed in more coconut juice, arrives steaming with a luscious pungency, the glistening birds arranged on a bed of fresh cilantro, tomatoes and onions. And do not miss the pho dac biet bon mua -- Four Seasons' beef pho is made with fresh stock that's been cooked down all day from beef bones.

you cant beat lead
Reviewer: A viewer from Alpha, NJ US
You really cant beat lead when it comes to getting you down. The other composite wires are no where near as dense as lead. AS far toxicity, buy some nail polish and coat it. I do it to the lead after its wrapped on the hook. Its a cheap way to seal it off.
Very convenient & effective
Reviewer: A viewer from East Rand, Gauteng ZA
I use different sizes dependent upon the fly size.
#10 & larger = 0.025 #12 = 0.020 #14 = 0.015 #16 = 0.010. Thicker than 0.025 is too thick to easily work with & tends to break.
I cover with Zap-A-Gap to prevent it moving on the hook shank.

Ballmer talks Linux, security, SaaS
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on Wednesday pegged three key areas of focus for Microsoft this year: competing with Linux in the high-end server market, software as a service (SaaS) and Internet advertising.
Speaking at an event hosted by two Silicon Valley groups, Churchill Club and Commonwealth Club, Ballmer said Microsoft may not be reporting 20 percent growth like the old days but the company has an innovation agenda that "qualifies us as a growth company."

Walter Huston, Abraham Lincoln (1930): Because most people don't look like attractive movie stars, biopics rarely wind up starring people who look like them. Erin Brockovich doesn't look like Julia Roberts, Virginia Woolf didn't look like Nicole Kidman and Salvador Dalí looked nothing like Robert Pattison. That said, apply the right makeup to Meryl Streep and she'll look like Margaret Thatcher, as happened with The Iron Lady. Likewise, throw the right beard on Walter Huston and doesn't he look like Honest Abe. In his first sound film (of two), D.W. Griffith did just that, with Huston making for a more believable Lincoln than Joseph Henaberry in a previous Griffith production, The Birth of a Nation.
Val Kilmer, The Doors (1991): Val Kilmer looks exactly like Jim Morrison. That's about the only thing this Oliver Stone movie got right.
Robert Downey Jr., Chaplin (1992): Kilmer's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang co-star looks exactly like the younger Charles Chaplin. RDJ's expert pantomime is about the only part of Dickie Attenborough's doddering biopic—perhaps the poster child for all that is wrong and insufferable about the genre—that's actually entertaining.
Stephen Fry, Wilde (1997): The British comic legend was born to play Oscar Wilde. Why he got stuck with this paint-by-numbers biopic while the less deserving Rupert Everett scored the Wilde-standby roles in An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest is a question for the ages.
Toby Jones, Infamous (2006): For one of his least interesting performances, Philip Seymour Hoffman scored an Oscar for impersonating Truman Capote, even as he more closely resembled Ralphie from A Christmas Story. This performance and film wound up entirely overshadowing the Capote -circa-In-Cold-Blood project made at the same time, which starred an actor who actually looked like Truman Capote, and wasn't as ponderous or tiresomely self-satisfied to boot.
Ben Kingsley, Hugo (2011): Of part Indian descent, British-born Ben Kingsley made a shockingly credible Mahatma Gandhi in Gandhi. But the person of historical importance he most truly resembles is Georges Méliès, the magician-turned-cinema pioneer. Lucky for him, a major studio was convinced a $170 million extravaganza about his obscure latter life was a sure bet.

LOGIN TO myHadassah
Last month over 200 Nigerian girls were kidnapped by an Islamic extremist group, Boko Haram, which has announced that it will sell the girls. On Tuesday May 6—as the United States offered the government of Nigeria military and other assistance—additional abductions were also reported. In response, Marcie Natan, National President of Hadassah, The Women's Zionist Organization of America, Inc., released the following statement:
On behalf of Hadassah's 330,000 members, associates, and supporters I express our horror and outrage at the kidnapping of these Nigerian girls and support for the worldwide #BringBackOurGirls campaign. I appreciate the American government's offer of assistance and I urge the administration to provide all avenues of support and exertion of international pressure in order to ensure that these young women can return home speedily and safely.
Nations and leaders from across the globe must speak out against this atrocity and demand that all women—especially young girls—must be protected from violence, trafficking, and exploitation.
As we celebrated our freedom during the Passover holiday last month, we also recognized the 27 million people for whom slavery remains a modern-day reality. Situations like what has happened in Nigeria, unfortunately, illustrate how much work is left to be done. Hadassah is an advocate for the International Violence Against Women Act and urges Congress to pass this legislation, which would send a strong statement that ending violence against women and girls worldwide is a top American priority.
See below to thank the President for his offers of support to Nigeria and insist that he continue working to ensure that these young women can return home speedily and safely. Also, urge Congress to pass the International Violence Against Women Act and support the #BringBackOurGirls campaign on social media.

I want an advice about a laptop gpu.
I want to buy a new Hp laptop and I can't decide whether buy laptop with nvidia,ati or intel gma gpu.
I'm aiming to buy laptop with core i3 330m/350m/370m/380m.
I can't decide the gpu because I had hp pavilion notebook and its nvidia gpu fried in 2 years,it become very hot even by playing counter strike.
I don't want a powerful gpu I will just play few games like need for speed world.And I want an advice which gpu is cooler and better.I want to buy a laptop with maximum price $600.
what do you say about ati radeon 6470m?
|My System Specs
|02 May 2011
I would stay away from any type of Intel video if you want to do any gaming.
I myself have always used ATI video in my builds and laptops, the issue is the laptop version is not as powerful as their desktop types of the same model, it would be better to go with the highest video card in the laptop you can get for your price since they will quickly get outdated.
|My System Specs
|02 May 2011
in my price the most powerful is ati radeon 6470m 512mb or 1gb,and how do you think will it be cool?I think it can handle need for speed world at low or medium graphics.
|My System Specs
|02 May 2011
I say go with the 1gb, as for how cool im not sure.
|My System Specs
|06 May 2011
well that is not a very powerful card so even 512MB wouldn't hurt it at all. It also doesn't come in any other flavors than DDR3 for the memory (another reason having 1GB of GPU ram wouldn't do much). I have a GT 540m and even this card, I don't think, would benefit from that much ram. A card like that would probably run your game at or around 25-35 FPS on low-medium settings at a low resolution. (1366x768, or 1280x720, given the DDR3)
|My System Specs
|09 May 2011
Windows XP Professionnal 32-bits
You should get at least the 1gb, because today's games are really demanding, especially if you want to play games with high recommended specs.
|My System Specs
|09 May 2011
Yeah but that card is not that powerful
Running games on high at good framerates would only
Be possible on lower end games like half lif which wouldn't require lots of video ram.
The ps3 only has 256 and the 7800gt (ps3) is more powerful. Am I right? And most games, if not all, run at 720p which is about the same resolution as mist 11-15 inch laptops which is what this ati card is geared for.

Car Forums / Audi / Audi A8
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
High End Luxury Cars
Maybe the analogy is flawed but I believe the 745 offers the all-around better drivers experience. I like the exterior, interior and ride better. If one took the "drivers connectedness" out of the equation, I would fully agree. But people buy BMWs because they expect it to be a top notch drivers car, not a top notch passengers car.
I haven't driven a 7 in a while but I certainly tend to agree with you. But if you're looking for more luxury ride than drivers car it works the other way around. It's really a matter of preferences and its nice to have choices in each sector. I said a long time ago - no one really can go wrong with any car here. This is an all-star team.
designman - The wedding in Florida?? No - Alice - but substitute George Washington for Clemenza - in the episode where Ralph says men run the world. Or are you wondering about the state? Hint - they had to cross the river to kill Paulie - the same river that many commuters from that state do every morning to go to work. Hey - Billy C was hillarious in Ananlyze This. The shark scene was great.
Ah-ha, you're talking in serious riddles there. Hey, you know what's wrong with MBs these days and why they're on a course correction with quality? It's because Schrempp found this thing in the engines that interrupts the flow in the dynaflow! (Vacuum cleaner episode)
Joyzy. No?
Mike I'm going to do this point by point so you don't get any more confused.
"When I talked about 250 HP that was for Pre 1993...Since I am sticking to comparing 93 Allante to 93 SL500 in order to try and avoid your dancing around issues by switching between models and year."
Ok pre-1993, you mean from the 1987-1992 models right? The 500SL came out for 1990 Mike and it had a 322hp DOHC V8. Fact. It outperformed any pre or post Northstar Allante quite easily. Fact. The 1993 500SL had the same engine as the 1990, 1991, and 1992 models, why this is so hard for you to grasp is beyond me. The 500SL later renamed (along with all Mercedes) the SL500 was the SAME CAR from 1990-2002. My point is that the R129 SL (the chassis code) for the V8 engined 500SL/SL500 from 1990-2002 would outperform any year Allante you'd care to mention. You really can't understand this?
There is no dancing from model years to do here, the 500SL/SL500 was the same car for 13 MY years (1990-2002)!
"Support for the Allante...There was a young man who wrote about his fathers Allante and how much he liked it.
Wow, and the car got cancelled anyway. Find a knowledgeable source the put the 500SL over the Allante and then post. People can like whatever they want, obviously. Doesn't mean they have a clue about the vehicle.
No one here agrees with you about the Allante being superior to the SL. An owner of just then Allante (and not having even driven the SL like you haven't) doesn't qualify as an expert to anyone but themsleves. The industry put the SL at the top of the class then as they do now. If Edmund's editors said anything like what you're saying about the Allante and previous SL it obviously goes in the "what were they thinking" tank with Motor Trend naming the 1991 Chevy Caprice their "car of the year". A completely off-base view and not supported by any other automotive source. That alone tells you that it was a mistake.
"At to the sales numbers in the US...the Mercedes SL500 sold a little less then 800 and the Allante sold 6700...Your figures made my point...Prior to 93 I don't believe there was an SL500. But with Mercedes funky way of labeling their cars ...Who knows and for this comparison it really doesn't matter."
Where do you get this stuff? Didn't you read the link I gave you? The 500SL/SL500 (since you can't seem to understand it is the same car) sold 1721 units in 1993. Fact. Again the numbers:
Year U.S. Sales
1990 2,830
1991 6,061
1992 5,355
1993 1,721
1994 3,118
1995 4,721
My source for this is MBSUSA.COM, please give your source for the 800 units you say MB sold for 1993. Otherwise I'll go by the what the people who sold the car says. These are U.S. sales not worldwide sales and it says that clear as day. Are you saying that MBUSA is lying?
"Prior to 93 I don't believe there was an SL500
OMG. Prior to 1993 there was a 500SL which was merely renamed the SL500 along with every other Mercedes, it was the same exact car.
"I still haven't been able to determine the performance figures for the 1993 500SL ...Yes I did look at the chart by it doesn't give the year of the car on the chart that shows 0-60 times.
Wait a minute, you looked at the chart for the performance numbers but you didn't look up above (on the same chart) to see the sales numbers only to come back and fabricate this 800 units in the US for sales?
When you read "the chart" you didn't see this:
"Body Style 129, Introduced to U.S. Fall 1989, Name changed to SL500 in Fall 1993."
It clearly states this at the bottom of the sales numbers. If this doesn't clear up the naming and model year confusion for you then it is hopeless. It was the same car from 1990-2002!
Like I said before when I get time I'll look through the mags and find the comparo.
You say FACT is outperformes the 93 Allante...What are the Numbers...Lets see them.
You say lets compare any year Allante to the 500SL...OK...Compare the 93 500SL to the 93 Allante...LETS SEE THE NUMBERS...LETS SEE A LINK
In your previous post the chart showed 700+ units and you said that was US sales???? I accept 1700+ for the SL500....Allante sold 6700 in 93
P.S the chart I looked at for the SL did not specify model years as I have already said in previous messages. OR...I did not know how to read the chart.
Except for mechanical quality, your link shows, the Allante is not that great for Body & INterior quality.
I don't know man, you keep asking Merc1 to bring up facts about the SL being better than the Allante. But you know what? I don't see much facts from you either. Links to reviews from both cars would be good. Better yet, the SL vs. Allante would be good. The Edmunds link doesn't tell all that much except the Allante's Body & INterior quality stank.
At least you have seen some facts from me....Apparently you looked at just the figures you wanted to ....It is the over 5 year figures that matter and you are obviously discussing something else.
P.S. the Allante figures were almost exactly the same as the $100,000 500SLs numbers...My point was that all this Mercedes built like a tank stuff from Merc. was a little overboard at least compared to Allante.
The tank like stuff is not overboard. Even when the C5 Corvette Convertible came out, every magazine was comparing it's solidity level to the SL500s, which was considered up until recently the benchmark for convertible solidity.
The JD power mechanical quality or interior ratings say nothing about solidity.
4-5 yrs. Allante
Mechanical Dependability 5 out of 5 (SL was the same)
Body & Interior 3 out of 5 (SL was 4 out of 5)
Feature and Accessory 4 out of 5 (SL was the same)
I owned my Allante for over 11 years It was tight as a drum when I sold it. (only had 79,000 miles on it.) Because I owned one and Because most people are not very familiar with them there is a lot of mis-information about them.
The 93 was the fastest front wheel drive car in the world but not as fast as the modified XJR-15 which sold for 1 million and went 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.
I still think the Allante is far more beautifull then the SL...The Allante actually still looks fresh and a look at the 93 SL makes it's age obvious.
Some of the things the Allante can do
it can sense the onset of traction loss and apply pulsed braking EVEN WHILE THE DRIVER KEEPS A FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR.
It can electronically cut out up to five of the eight clyinders to provideadditional slowing power, and bring them back on line when traction has been restored.
It shifts its four-speed transmission electronically, guided by a computer that actually anticipates each shift based on the driver's demands. If you are driving agressively the car anticipates that and the Powertrain Control Module holds the car in each gear a little longer for better acceleration but when you want to drive sedately the computer recognizes that too and shifts eariler, saving gas and engine wear.
The Allante, in an emergency, can drive for miles with an empty radiator, cutting cylinders out in rotation just before they overheat and then switching them back in as they cool.
But what the Allante mostly is, is really, really fast, the fastest front-wheel drive car in the world, the 32 valve, 4.6 liter V8 engine, which Cadillac calls the Northstar, is just a detuned raching engine, with aluminum pistons (to save weight) and a fuel-injection system built of nylon, magnesium and spaceage plastics intended to insulate the incoming fuel from the heat of the cylinder head. "the beauty of this system," in the estimation of J. David Powell, and engineering professor at Stanford," is that the fuel is much cooler, allowing a more dense air/fuel charge into the combustion chamber for additional horsepower," In practical terms this means that the 1993 Allante will go from 0-60 in 6.9 sec. That is pretty fast although not as fast as a specially modified Jaguar XJR-15 which will do it in 4.5 sec. But that costs $1 Million dollars.
FROM MACHINE DESIGN June 11, 1992
The engine is quiet, even with the hood up, and the car is quiet while running. Cadillac designers' work on lowering wind-noise paid off, because with the top down I was able to hold conversations without yelling.
The Twisty mountain roads allowed me to test the car's real-time damping and speed-sensitive steering. Damping system sensors measure the relationship of the wheels to the car body to reduce body pitch and roll during cornering, front-end dive during braking, and lift during acceleration. The speed-sensitive steering is continuously variable, so changes are imperceptible, even during the slow-down/speedup of hairpin turns.
All together, the car inspires confident driving.
lexusguy Posts: 6,419And still this pointless war rages on. Mike, buddy, you need to give it up. You're not convincing any of us that the Allante was an SL killer, just as the motoring press was not convinced, and the general public was not convinced. When you have a superior product that is doing well, you don't kill it off, plain and simple. The "sport light" cars have been around, in their various nomenclatures for more than half a century. The Allante seriously pales compared to that kind of dynasty of historic automobiles (show me a $3,000,000 Allante 40 years from now.) It was a nice try, but nice try isnt good enough, and its fate was sealed.
IF you had not posted again on this subject, I would not feel obligated to do so.
When you say any of us ...do you presume to speak for the rest of the board?
Based on the figures provided in 1993 Allante sold 6700 units and the 500SL sold 1700 units...Why Cadillac discontinued production I do not know and didn't understand at the time....I do know that Cadallic engineers had finally figured out how to have a fully retractable top without losing luggage space they were scheduled to introduce the car in 1995 when cadillac pulled the plug.
40 years from now show me a 3 million dollar 1993 500SL...It is more likely that I will be able to show you that 3 mill Allante. It is still a beautifull car today. The 93 500SL looks dated today.
Articles saying the ALlante was good doesn't mean it was better than the Mercedes SL. Those are excerpts of just the Allante and none of them say the Allante is something along the line of.."the best convertible money can buy"..."The most solid convertible"..."the best built convertible".
From everything I remember reading about the SL from 89? to the late 90s said it was one of the best convertibles money can buy with unmatched solidity. I don't need proof, everyone hear can pretty much say they have read the same thing in magazines. Besides, you say Car and Driver rated the Allante over the SL500, but where's the proof? You haven't shown any proof/facts either. I think if you went down to a Public library and pulled out every article about the previous SL, they will pretty much tell you the SL was the most solid convertible on the market. Also, read some C5 Corvette Convertible articles, which will mention the SL, but no Allante in reference to body rigidity.
And no one is saying the Allante is flimsy or something, just saying the SL was the benchmark for convertibles in the 90s.
