Tech Star Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Exactly. It will cost well in excess of $500 a month in gas, just to keep the tub of lard moving. And that's if you no more than 40 miles on it a day. 585751849[/snapback] Gas will be finnished by then.....

joseph- Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 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".

Tuffgong4 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 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."

I don't like the escalade but I won't be telling others not to drive them. 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.

g-n-t Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 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 . 585751606[/snapback] 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.

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.
