When you get confused on the highway because you aren't getting cut off and traffic seems to part for you.
When you hear little voices from behind you yelling "slow down!" or "stop it!" because you are playing with the turbo again.
When you don't have to get your face close to the window and look up to see the truck drivers anymore.
When you use your truck to get on the roof.
My wife always complains that she wishes she took the Ex instead of the car when she goes into town. The other car is an Aveo.

She says it's a pain to park and back up, then I remind her about the rear sensors and she shuts up

We refer to our Excursions as trucks (since family complains about the ride)
and your family takes great pleasure in pointing out EVERY highway sign that states: "all trucks must exit [enter weight station]"
Where did that "ejection seat" mod thread go..

YOU know you have an x when people ask "Does it use a lot of gas
'' then you reply "I did not buy it for fuel efficiency, I bought because I love it"

...when you look back in the rearview mirror and realize you can't see what's on the floor of the cargo area because it's so far away!!
Seriously, I had a vacuum cleaner laying on the floor today and forgot about it until I HEARD it move back there going around a corner! (and yes, a swaybar is on order....)
Thanks for reviving this thread, it's fun!!

i know right...i've lost count.
You know you drive an Excursion when you think the most economic way to fill up your Excursion and Expedition at the same time is to tow the Expedition to the gas station with you...makes so much sense right? it was well worth the looks!

I'm bored at work now, so just for fun I counted them up...............10! Yeah the same post (or variations of the same thing) T E N times in this thread! I'm not going to comment on how funny it is or isn't
But I think any rational person would just give it a break after TEN tries. 
And for those keeping score at home, you can find Brent's gem in ALL of it's glory in posts 70, 76, 95, 177, 204, 226, 318, 404, 425, and 460.
Oh, And I know when I'm driving my Ex when I don't care what hippies, other men or women think or do because I'm happy just driving my EX.
And I can't wait for all of this salt to be gone from the roads so I can get back behind the EX's wheel again!

Then I realize that I'd spent 5 minutes watching the dog chase its tail.

You know you drive an Excursion when people ride in the passenger seat, look back and say: "Holy Crap that's alot of room!" and you simply reply: "I know "
Had that happen to me the other day too!!!!
I was helping a buddy work on his car, put my tools away, but forgot to strapdown my "carry all" 65 gallon container I keep all my roadside emergency tools in. I made a left coming out of his neighborhood and the whole thing slid and then I rememberd, forgot to strap everything down
