| I saw a guy in an Escalade try to take a curve tonight, posted speed was 40 mph, he was leaning really hard, then BAM, there goes the brake lights! I took it at about 65-70, passed him on the curve and never missed a beat! Of course, after he corrected, he started haulin' right pass me, but the point had been proven!
I know Brad, don't say it! I'll do better, I promise.  | |

I know Brad, don't say it! I'll do better, I promise. | I do the same thing, I do take corners pretty hard. Guess I better stop when I get some rims and tires, though. I like when these other people are hauling @$$ and then the corner comes along and they have to slow down, but not me!!! I LOVE it!!! But just like you, Dion, they start hauling right pass me when they finish the corner. | |

And after you get rims and tires (and a drop!), you're gonna be even worse! | |

| My dad has an escalade so I am always right behind him. No matter how fast he drives, he can never get away.  He is mad that I have more room in my back seat than his. | |

I know Brad, don't say it! I'll do better, I promise. | People who think their vehicle is fast on the straight aren't too knowledgable when it comes to real driving. It takes a combination of straights and turns. Anyone can drive straight. Its hitting the right apex and carrying the right amount of speed that counts.

| Yeah, never been a huge fan of the Escalade. We sell 'em, but I really don't see them being worth $60K, you know?
They have, however, shown me the first instance of my unattainable mod: POWER FOLDING MIRRORS!! Damn I want those soooooo bad!

-Alex | They don't offer power folding mirrors for the bB/xB? For some reason I thought Dave Moulton was running a pair on his xB. I'll have to check, maybe I read something wrong somewhere. | |

| They EXIST, but they're JDM and pretty damn rare around here. Occasionally they show up used on SL, but usually around $350 and they're never Lava, so figure about $150+ in paint on top of that. Oh well...
