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 
Now those self-entitled ****** that fly allllllllllll the way down the off ramp or merge lane and try to cut in at the very last second? Those people get no mercy. It's kind of funny because everyone seems to unite against them in rush hour. The closer we get to the end of the ramp or lane, the closer everyone starts following one another until it's blatant tailgating. However since it's all for the same cause, nobody gets pissed at anybody else - except the out of towners, they kind of freak a bit. Once the choke point is passed everyone opens up the proper gaps (for Houston), and continues on their way hating and yelling at each other. Lol.

I drive a commercial truck and really HATE the guys/gals who are on the phone and just expect a big rig to just let them in when they make NO attempt to merge. I love giving these people a little air horn....bonus points if they drop their phone!

Can someone find out if my 01 horn is quieter than my 04 horn? I have only hit it once at a lady that was on her phone and slowly coming into my lane while driving with her knee and I swear it's louder. It might just be the fact it's further from the ground though, stupid sound waves.

You should be able to use your phone as a sound meter. Get your other half to honk the horn while you stand in front with your app.
Put your head down near the horn for best results.

Sorry, accuracy is needed when the thread title is "You know you drive an Excursion when..."
Your example doesn't take into account the gas powered Excursions, hence it isn't inclusive of ALL Excursions, which responses must abide by, since we're talking about ANY Excursion, even those that are powered by gasoline. 
A gas powered Ex can't lose two gallons of oil and still have half left. It doesn't even have a two gallon capacity.
On the bright side, your post would be perfect for a thread titled: "You know you drive a diesel when..."

Soon to be sub topics:
You know you drive a diesel Excursion when...
And
You know you drive a Gas Excursion when...
Then it'll break down into motor sizes... Then years.... Then colors.... Then it turns into a build thread.

You know you drive a 2001 2wd Excursion XLT in White with a slight alignment problem causing your front passenger tire to wear prematurely when 2 men (one named Queequeg) try to harpoon you at every chance!
