crackhbob Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 He's already said that his father doesn't have to worry about the gas receipts... Nice vehicle, I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxster17 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I don't particularly like it, I much prefer German SUVs like the X5, and ML, but I must say that the new line of GM SUVs are really good, and they've done a lot of work to improve them. It's got a nice engine and the interiors are finally looking good in these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogerjones Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 This post is starting to smell like bull**** to me. First, people don't debate purchasing an Escalade vs. a 760. Second, it seems funny that it's justing sitting in a parking garage. I realize the dude could live in an apartment, but still sounds fishy (there's no way you'd put a 760 in a public space like that anyway). But people with boats and cottages and Escalades don't usually live in housing complexes. Third, doesn't it take time to get plates for a new car, even if they're transferred (I could be wrong about this)? I'm not saying I'm convinced you're lying, dude, but this is fishy at best.

My dad lives in the penthouse of a condo. Its actually pretty nice. Granite counter tops, hardwood. Heres what ill do. Next time im near it, ill get a piece of paper, and write my username on it and take a picture with the username and the truck. And im not sure why he got new plates. His old plates wernt even that old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandnewfantx Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I dont like peoples oppinions when its biast. Theres obviously a market for SUV's so the people who buy them are willing to pay the price for it. My dad speciallizes in selling high end real estate, so he cant show up to a 4 million dollar house in a toyota or a honda. As for me, ill probably end up getting a SAAB 95 when i turn legal age to drive, which is 16 years of age here in ontario for a G1 (basically a learners) Your a retard Honda makes Acura Toyota Makes Lexus Maybe your Realstate of a father should buy a Acura or is that to foreign for him ? Second I can't wait for GM, and Ford to be bought out by a foreign Car Maker, ah The Honda- Escalde 35 MPG; People can dream huh ? EDIT: I hate American Cars, Also I live in USA So I'm not a USA hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiBer Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hey mate that's an awesome car, good stuff :) I'm from Australia so i'm not quite familiar with Escalade's, what are the engine specs? Looks pretty powerful! good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I'm not calling you a liar (I'm not trying to start a fight), but taking that picture with your username proves nothing. And im not sure why he got new plates. His old plates wernt even that old. Can you get new plates without having already purchased the vehicle? I'm pretty sure you need the title (which the old man wouldn't have had until last night). And it would take several days, at least, to receive the new plates.I dunno...it's just the way you post you sound like one of my friends who likes to tell tales (but isn't very good at it). I'm probly wrong about you, but I like to debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some minute proofe for the people who don't really beleive. But like I said before. I only get to see my dad once a week, so it will be a little bit before I see it again. There also might be some proof here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...c=271198&st=765 http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27127 http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26700 Im not saying that this prooves anything 100% but its not like im lieing for a while hoping that one of the people that lives in the condo gets one so i can take pictures of it and say that its my fathers.

Boxster17 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Plates don't take that long to get. When we moved to US from Canada my dad spent the whole day getting everything sorted out and had the new plates by the end of the day. And brandnewfantx, what does Honda owning Acura, and Toyota owning Lexus have to do with this? You're mocking him, yet you're the one looking like an idiot.

Circaflex Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 why is it nobody on neowin can be happy for anyone else? always with these new car topics you get some lame 10 year old kid jealous that he doesnt have one, give the guy a break he was just posting to show he had a new car. Had it been an old hunk of junk you guys wouldnt bash him, so what his dad pays for what he likes, no matter the price. Work your way up there and then you can maybe afford some of these cars too. OT Nice escalade, i like it more than the older one. In one of your pics the side view one, it kind of looks like the old navi IMO. I plan on getting something big in a year or so.

fr8t Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 okay, its a deal. cool beans... look, i'm not saying your retarded or anything along those lines. I just find it funny when ppl online make post bragging about things like this more or less, things that aren't even theirs per se, in your case. So if you do make post like this, expect ppl to call you out on it. Simply put... if you're gonna talk the talk, walk the walk. and no, i'm not jealous or envious in the least...

planetik Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Talk about rich family... By the way for the people who are complaining about the gas: 1. It's not your money 2. If he wants a car that eats up fuel (and is aware of it) then thats fine 3. People who spend money on the economy FUELS the economy. (no pun intended) And lastly, besides enviromental reasons, who gives a damn? I've read somewhere newer cars emit less toxic fumes. I have a 97' Honda Accord for god's sake.
