Into the Red With Luxury
The sticker on the window of a 2006 Range Rover Sport HSE parked inside Rosenthal Jaguar at Tysons Corner lists a few choice selling points: a child seat sensor, voice-activated controls and heated windshield washer jets -- all for an asking price of $59,350. A more comprehensive list for buyers to consider might read something like this: $1,741 for a new headlight, $600 to replace a cracked windshield -- and the instant respect of valets and your little brother's friends. Call it the unconscious cost-benefit analysis of the luxury car buyer. It's a calculus more of us find ourselves making. Luxury vehicle sales

More bends in legal road for Benz case.
The price of your typical Mercedes-Benz CL55 ran about $120,000 just five years ago. And it was the price Akron resident Tom Ulrich paid for his new ride in 2002. Today, Ulrich's car is worth about $500,000, although most of that could go to Ulrich's attorneys.

Revolution or Evolution for Law Libraries?
We have read and been told that the old days of beautiful, comfortable, completely stocked law firm libraries are gone and are being replaced by electronic, streamlined "convenience store" special libraries where attorneys go just to look something up quickly. The conventional wisdom is that online, compact libraries are much more cost-effective for the firm. That may be true, but there is one big problem with this scenario: Attorneys and administrators don't always share the same opinion about how a law firm library is used and what types of resources make up the tools of the trade today. How does
A new car shouldn’t need repainting before it’s sold
QUESTION: About a month after I purchased a new luxury sedan, it got dinged in a parking lot, resulting in a small dent and chipped paint in the left rear quarter panel. I took the car to a body shop for repairs and learned there that the left rear door and quarter panel had been repaired previously. I contacted the dealership and was told the car had arrived with defective factory paint. The dealer had the left rear door and quarter panel repainted at a collision and paint center at a cost of $551.65. I was not told about that

It's no fun getting a lemon for a car. Just ask Marci Shumaker. A few months after buying a Ford Explorer in early 2004, the SUV's engine would rumble and lurch forward seconds after acceleration, she said. Honoring the new-car warranty, the dealer tried to fix it. But a few weeks after getting her car back, the SUV hiccupped, again. The "hesitation and surging" of the vehicle almost caused an...

Like dozens of dog owners who packed a courtroom Friday morning, Maureen and Allen Triebe wore a picture of their dog, Snickers, over their hearts. Snickers was supposed to be a 9-pound toy Lhasa Apso. Now she's 14 pounds -- probably not a toy. And she had to go through treatments for mange and a potentially fatal skin disease -- all because she came from a puppy mill. When the Triebes heard Puppy Shoppe owner Janice Cabezas struck a plea deal with prosecutors that would prevent her from selling dogs only for five years, they had to do something. They joined other owners in court representing dogs -- Bebe, Coop, Sadie, Micha -- who...
