I also might have been more willing to cut them some slack if the high horse they rode into town on hadn’t been a fully tricked-out Cadillac Escalade. — here (Seriously! What is the deal with people who drive Escalades?)

I mean really- every time I hear some self-important hack call the Eighth “overblown,” I just want to shout “Really? Overblown? Really? How much less blowing did it need, in your opinion, Mr Critic Pants?!?!” — here

If I’m not mistaken, Escalades are repossessed at by far the highest rate of any vehicle type.

My knowledge of Escalade owners is limited to two personal encounters with what was probably the same Escalade (never met the driver face to face, thank goodness) and various stories on the Internet, but my impression of Escalade owners is that they are people with a highly over-inflated sense of their own importance and they don’t care about other people. They think they have the right to expect the rest of the world to get out of their way.

There’s an Escalade in my town with the vanity plate “UNDRPD” which I assume means “underpaid.”
My reaction to it, the first time I saw it was “‘Underpaid’ or ‘Overspent’”?
Seriously, you’re driving a luxury car that costs as much as my house did when I bought it*, and you’re complaining you’re underpaid?
(*and that costs more than I make in a year)
