Millionaire
Vacation
What
do you do when you're rich and famous and need to get away from your luxury mansion
or your extravagant daily life? How about renting someone else's luxury mansion?
Or dropping a few grand a day to "get away from it all" on a remote
private island with a dozen staffers to cater to your every need?

A Rust Must
or Bust
Cover
paint chips as quickly as possible. For a quick fix until you can get some touchup
supplies, dab a little clear nail polish on the scratch. Touchup paint can be
found for virtually every vehicle ever built, including antiques.

Water Woes
Random
tests of the water aboard 169 U.S. passenger planes conducted by the Environmental
Protection Agency in November and December found contamination by fecal coliform
bacteria on about 17%.
[GO] Gas
Guzzling Gone?
Consumers
no longer have to sacrifice engine performance to get better gas mileage. That's
the welcome news coming from our recent auto tests. More vehicles, in almost every
category, now let you have it both.
[BANG] Vehicles
with SABs
SABs
offer protection to two principal areas of the body -- the head and the chest
-- during moderate to severe side-impact crashes.

Cruise Ship Crud
Noroviruses
are found in the stool or vomit of infected people and on infected surfaces that
have been touched by ill people. Outbreaks occur more often where there are more
people in a small area, such as nursing homes, restaurants, catered events, and
cruise ships.

Helps Seniors Drive
People
over 65 are the fastest-growing population in the United States, and by 2020 there
will be more than 40 million licensed drivers ages 65 and older.

| Ounce
for ounce, as anyone of more diminutive proportions can tell you, overall size
isn't really what counts. Rather, it's what's contained in the package, how well
it functions and where it fits in the scheme of things. In offering our "Cute
Utes" buyers guide for 2005, we look at many different qualifications, from
rough 'n tumble scramble ability, to funky function, to no-nonsense enduring,
to just plain good looks.

| A
home-style feel used to be found only at extended stay hotels,
and a chic, high-tech, luxurious feel used to be exclusive to boutique hotels.
Today, all hotels, from boutiques to national chains, are all looking for ways
to make everyone feel like their hotel room is just like -- or better than --
home.

| The
Sportwagon is based on the X-TYPE sedan, but with a body styling and structure
all its own. Starting at the B-pillars and flowing the length of the roof to the
rear tailgate – the new X-TYPE Sportwagon offers an unrivalled combination
of luxury, refinement and versatility. [SPORTY] |

| Women
are no longer taking a back seat to men on their Harleys. A national trend is
taking hold as more females are purchasing their own motorcycles.
According
to the Motor-cycle Industry Council, women accounted for nearly 10 percent of
all motorcycle owners nationwide in 2003, up from 8.2 percent in 2002.

| Martinique,
a Caribbean island with a strong French history and culture, is a haven of breath-taking
beaches, a stellar climate, lush vegetation and luxurious hotels. Yet this French-speaking
island has a unique distinction all its own, a very special je ne sais quoi. It
finds roots in the island's Creole joie de vivre -- the excellence of its cuisine,
the beauty of its landscape.

| Booster
seats are very effective in preventing injury. Children aged 4 to 7 years who
ride in booster seats are 59% less likely to be injured in a crash than children
restrained by only a safety belt. Children aged 4 to 8 years are old enough (and
usually big enough) to graduate out of their child safety seats, but most of them
still need to be in a booster seat. [KIDS]

How
to Look for a Sedan

Tips
If
you have a written warranty that doesn't cover your problems,
you still may have coverage through implied warranties. State

quality standards. [COVERED]
