What about an Excursion V10? How's that for overkill. People up here are getting suckie, they complain about bad gas mileage, I guess they should buy a Civic.

 

[Ralph]

You got to admit that 8,000 pounds and a V-10 will make a man out of any wimp. I hate to knock our own, but to me, it just seems that the Escalade is just a Tahoe or Denali with an inflated sticker price. In Canada the EXT truck is stickered at 72,000, GAK, for a truck? I'm sorry, thats just too much deniro to be practical or look good.

 

[Ralph]

And the EXT is just a Chevy Avalanche, who would want to drive down a country road with the back window out, can you say "eat dust."

 

[Ralph]

Come to think of it, the SLS looks a little like a Taurus, or a Pontiac Bonneville.......oops.

 

[Ralph]

Don't mind me Daddy-0, I've just fallen in love with my fins and skirts. How many cars have those today.........NONE. LOL.

 

[Ralph]

Hey Lev, If you are an American, I notice you do not use a location? People seem to forget that in 1776, the FRENCH helped Americans fight the BRITISH! You have no future without your past BUD.

 

[Ralph]

Heard it was a shotgun wedding,.............oops.

 

[Ralph]

I have to admit, if I won a lottery, and had a neighbour I didn't care for, and wanted to show him up, I'd buy one. My next choices might be a Lincoln Navigator/ Aviator, or a H2. If money were no object, call me petty! PS because I'm not wealthy, in the back of my mind they might be considered a waste of money, but then, most cars could be with too many options.

 

[Ralph]

Wouldn't you rather have an Aztek (LOL) I hear they are comming out with a Rallye or GT package. KC might buy one.

 

[Ralph]

Actually in the Peoples Republic of California you have the freedom to play a stereo loud, but here in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Canada we might get jailed for having a more powerful stereo than a Honda engine! Damn your dog is ugly, KC, but at least it is more pretty than my last girlfriend. PS is that an albino pig, oops, I mean dog?? I'm serious about the GT package on the arsetek, I read it in the Drive section of the newspaper!!?

 

[Ralph]

Well I have to admit that when we cruised we never got pulled over for loud music. Gee, maybe I am in a free country after all (free to be dictated over LOL) I guess in larger metropolitan areas there are noise laws. 11 pm is when our noise bylaw kicks in. We never took classical along, in the late 80's, it was metal all the way. I don't think KC listens to classical, then again my Fiance can't see him in a Caddy either. (hehe)

 

[Ralph]

Yeah (now I can spell it) I love Sinatra, but I don't think I will crank it loud if I go cruising in an Escalade, might scare the old ladies comming from a dark-haired younger dude.

 

[Ralph]

Ralph, I would like to mention to you that when you say that I live in a larger metropolitan area....it makes me cry. I wish I lived in a larger area, you see, I live in a quiet little town called visalia, there is nothing to do here, the weather is horrible, about 4 people speak english(everyone else speaks spanish only) and it is just too small. We do have very good cruising nights though. Anyone who has been to visalia know not to come back unless they have to.

Sounds like where I'm from (Yorkton) 15,000 people and all there was is cruising. It's not so bad cruising or racing in small towns, except all the cops get to know you and what you drive. We also knew what the cops drove, and every month they would repaint their cars (pretty obvious in those days with a big antenna out the roof). As long as there are two lanes and sets of lights every block, it's fun! PS you live in California with fruit trees and surfers? How bad can the weather be?! You don't get 40 below weather and have the wolves scratching at you door at night! Love those Escalades (so I don't get kicked off this thread)

 

[Ralph]

Yeah, I LOVE those Escalades!!!!
