Default Another reason not to buy an Excursion...

...or whatever that bigass SUV from Ford is called (Leviathan? Colossus? Gibraltar?):

Going to the movies saturday, turn into parking lot to go into the garage...and stop. Trying to figure out why we're backed up getting into the garage, and why that sport ute up at the head of the line isn't moving into the garage. Turns out a lady's Leviathan was too tall, and she had wedged it into the opening anyways and gotten stuck.

Served her right! BTW, "Leviathan" is a great name for one of those!

Default I read a review of the 2002 explorer this weekend

which mentioned "new features not previously seen in the compact SUV class." A sad commentary that the Explorer is now considered a COMPACT SUV.

Default I believe an orca is considerably smaller than a leviathan. Perhaps that's the code word for...

...the now miniature Explorer.

Default saw a customized Excursion in pasadena yesterday...

two-tone paint, teal and white with lots of scrolly pin-striping. Some really ugly chrome wheels (the thing looked LOWERED(!)) and the best part, where the Excursion badge should have been, someone had painted (in lovely scrolly letters)--

"ExVictorian".

What the hell does that mean?
