2007 Cadillac Escalade


Recommended Posts

You do realize there is a *huge* surplus of oil, and many deposits have not even been tapped as of yet. We'll have at least enough for the next two years or so, don't worry. You'll have more than ample oppurtunity to annoy the general public with your "blarin 1000 watt speacers".

lol but still it wont last forever and that v10 engin is going to use more gas.

So what if someone wants to drive an escalade with a V12...it's their choice and if they can afford more power to them. I don't like the escalade but I won't be telling others not to drive them.

Also I'm not sure if the escalade is made on the platform as the suburban (like a lot of GM based cars are but actually the Hummer2 is nothing more than a new shell on top of a Chevy Suburban. One of the best marketing schemes ever. "hey buy a Hummer, shh don't say anytihng about how it's practically a chevy suburban." Says the GM executive

So by your account, we should never question what someone does. Rather we should just accept everyone as they truly are, and not push them to be more introspective, thoughtful, reflective, or educated.

If we all live the way you claim to, we will find it truly difficult to move society forward.

but still though.....should we think about the enviroment a LITTLE BIT?!?...I mean come on...a V12? WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DRIVE IT AT?!? I mean come on, you obviously won't take it off road because...well....who wants to scratch the paint..:p...and when you drive it around the city...30% of the gas will be used JUST SO YOU CAN GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC...it's like...burning money...

Yeah us Americans are stupid....not.....yes we like big cars and we like them pimped with the stereo blaring out of the car! Also we try not to pollution but people that own companys for bad things pollute the air not us good people .

you try not to pollution?

guess where most pollution comes from?

"good people" like yourself.

if you want a car with lots of sound, then get a Scion and put some big speakers in there. No use ruining a nice car with that kind of crap. the cadillac escalade simply shouldnt exist.if you want to seat a lot of people, get a minivan like normal people. if you want a nice pimp-mobile, then you need to learn about a little thing called "class". If you are trying to make up for your inadequacies by having a big and loud car, well then you are an idiot.

Yes, but you're forgetting the most important aspect; you'll look rich, *and* ignorant, all with minimal effort on your part. What could be better? And to top it off, imagine how much "1000 watt speacers" would improve that image tenfold?

Food for thought: Most nice cars on the road are rentals.

In areas of the United States where SUVs are still cool, the majority of nice cars are rentals.

Wow, that's right on. You just perfectly described one of my best friend's family. Just left out the cross-over SUV for the second son.

The people you just listed are not necessarily cool. Wealth doesn't necessarily equate to an understanding of where the edge is (aka cool). It's much more difficult to set the trend, than it is to ride the one that has just passed by.

So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week.

The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
