You know you drive an Excursion when you think up excuses to drive it and ignore how much gas you use.

When you look at any trailer that's not a fifth wheel and think "no problem".

This happened to me this weekend. Meet a guy at a wedding with the exact same truck, same year, same color! We left the reception and took our beers out to his truck to listen to the UGA game on the radio! Good times.

People who ask: "Why do you drive something that big" who then say,

You know you drive an Ex when you pull into a parking place and someone acts like they are working at an airport giving you signals where to taxi.

You know you drive an Ex when parallel parking people signal how far you can back up not realizing you have back up sensors.

You know you are driving an Ex when you and another Scoutmaster haul the whole troop to the beach in two Excursions. They are affecionately refered to as the Scout Haulers.

You know you are driving a diesel Ex when you get in and look at the fuel gauge sitting at 1/4 tank and know there is no problem with you going on that 250 mile trip before fueling.

You know you drive an Ex when your co-workers leave an unsigned note on your window asking you to park your "large" vehicle in the far lot so they can feel comfortable parking their tiny cars in the close lot.
True story...and I still park in the close lot

You know you drive an Ex when the plows pile the parking lot snow in the corner and the one spot still open is half covered with the pile but you consider it a viable parking spot. Kind of like they were reserving it for ya

Another true story; I was trying to rent a place one time and she said I could park 2 vehicles in the side lot until she see the EX and then she said it is the same as 2 so that's all I could park there.

You know you have an Ex when the hippies scoff at you and the real men give a half a smile.............and the women look confused.
