My father was chatting with an owner of an EXT as they were both checking out the new model at the car show this year. I walked over and started poking his decision to own one. After dodging a few questions he agreed to disagree on all my points about how his truck was a waste of 10-15 G's but he did admit that part of his purchase decision was based on "keeping up with the jones's". Personally, I don't ever want to live in a neighborhood where the entry fee is buying one of these gawd awful contraptions. I thought the Escalade was bad enough, but slapping a pick-up bed on the back is an even bigger waste....but at least that'll be a few less GM employees that get laid off this year because there are people out there that actually feel the need to own one.
