you know you drive an Excursion when.....

You know you own an Excursion when an aerial photo from the county creates an inquiry about the "unpermitted structure/mobil home" in the drive way.
I had to go by the county annex and look at their "skilled observation". Looks like one of my trees had blocked the hood of the Ex and all they could see was the roof line.
I guess if it's not a Prius they want some addition property taxes. The civil engineer and I had a good laugh... but the clerk has a case of the as*.
Bite me.

...when you pull out of a parking spot and a Honda races across the spots into the lane, getting mad you are interfering with his dart to a spot, so you stop in mid turn and watch him pull up to your side and wait.
Here is the new owner part:
Being new to the game and not so fast thinker on your feet, you do NONE of the following.
...Tell the wife to open her door and step out onto his hood.
...Put the passenger window down and say, "I'll wait, go ahead UNDER"
...Shift into neutral and blast the exhaust at his window.
Instead, you lean over and look out the passenger window and realize that he is about eye level with the bottom of your door and chuckle saying, "Okay, now what are you going to do" then get bored after watching his female passenger yelling at him for about 30 secs and drive away.
But, you are amused by how emasculating it must've been for the ****** to attempt to bully you then be confronted with a closeup view of...your RUNNING BOARD! HAHA.
Afterwards you briefly consider looping around and parking ON TOP of the Honda, but decide to go on your way.
And the admiring smile on the wife's face when you say, "We're 3 TIMES his size. The worst he can do is some sheet metal damage and his insurance would have to pay. We're good."
Another one.
...When you chuckle out loud the first time you use your horn for a dumb non-looking driver and realize your 'not wimpy horn' is right at his driver's side window and might have actually made ripples in his coffee!
...When a hip-hopping Corolla tries to jump line in a merge on the on ramp at highway speeds, pulls beside you, and you casually look forward and say, "Well, it's his problem now" There is no "forced merge" against you when driving the EX

Luckily nobody was injured in the incident, although I suspect his pride and road rage took a severe hit and got knocked down a few points. I don't get road rage, but I also don't sucumb to it from others - especially to some dinky little Malibu.

When a hopped up newer Dodge Challenger is revving his engine at a light so everybody can hear his Flowmasters and when the light turns green you floor your 8000 lb 6.0L Ex from the light and take him, he is only able to pass because you have a greater stopping distance.

I was very big on the force merging before and made it a point to "get in where I fit in" and "make a hole" when needed before... but with the new truck I swear it's 2 feet higher and when anyone starts to come into my lane I just pull a little closer to them (but stay in my lane) and give them one of these
