Political humor

And to be fair and balanced - how about that debate. A laugh a minute.

Note that is a F-350, doubt you'd see it on a hybrid Escalade.

They make a HYBRID Escalade now?

Yeah it takes gas and if you want you can shovel the coal directly into the engine.

I think you have a serious problem when you go so far as to get a customized license plate.

As if the original Escalade wasn't bad enough... they had to make it a hybrid? What a joke.

The car industry never ceases to amaze me.

Does it catch on fire like the Volt?

The whole hybrid thing is a joke, after 4-5 years the batteries start to go bad and the fuel consumption goes way up because the batteries don't hold a charge. Someone told me in the auto repair business it is about $4500-5000 to replace the batteries.

Not sure about the cost, but I can say that my mom has a hybrid that is about 7-8 years old with 100k+ miles on it and has had no battery issues so far and no decrease in milage. So I only have a sample size of one, but so far no issues.
