No. 25's ride.......

[wildcat09]

I knew I liked Mr. Charles. This ride is SICK!

[ChiefsCountry]

That looks like Mizzou's jerseys from the KU game.

[KCrockaholic]

DAMN!!!!

I love it. Chiefscountry is so right, it looks just like the Mizzou outfit from the KU game.

[CHENZ A!]

murdered out

[BWillie]

I don't understand peoples infatuation with rolling depreciating assets

[Hammock Parties]

I could put some flames on it.

[The_Doctor10]

Jamaal better have his agent hammering out an extension by the end of this season, because he's gonna be one of those '65 percent of NFLers are broke 3 years after they're out of the league' guys if he throws around money like that.


That being said, it's a nice ride :)

[Hootie]

my roommate just bought an Escalade today...

[Hammock Parties]

my roommate just bought an Escalade today...

The gambler?

[Rain Man]

Why is it not glossy? It looks like it's only got a primer coat on it.

[The_Doctor10]

my roommate just bought an Escalade today...

Why would someone have a room-mate if they could afford to buy an Escalade?

[Hootie]

it was a 2005 and I doubt it was any more than $25,000 or so...

[The_Doctor10]

it was a 2005 and I doubt it was any more than $25,000 or so...

Fair enough.

[Sure-Oz]

Aren't Escalades crappy and unreliable?

[BWillie]

Why would someone have a room-mate if they could afford to buy an Escalade?

I have four roommates. I could afford three Escalade payments a month if i wanted

[KcMizzou]

Aren't Escalades crappy and unreliable?I'm sure he's got the money to handle it.

And if it was an issue, I could cut him a sweet deal on parts. :)

[Buck]

He should hang a huge "Steal Me" sign on it.

[Pushead2]

if he was going with all flat black why on earth did he put chrome trimmed rims......:shake:

[Pushead2]

I guess my question still stands... Why? And I guess another question, how old are you?

[Pants]

Dude needs to put some bigger breaks on that, those wheels look terrible. Otherwise, nice and classy.

[TinyEvel]

Pretty good.

The guy taking a piss next to me said "Oh, you have an Escalade? I see you've tatooed 'Escalade' on your penis."

replied, "Nope. (stretching it out) It says 'Everybody's calm in the everglades"

[bowener]

I could put some flames on it.

I love hot rods that are flat black with gloss black flames.

I love his ride... I have always wanted a flat black anything really.

That probably only set him back around $100,000. Hell, the shop might have done it cheap so he could advertise it and pass their name along to other players. When you're rich, you get shit for free!

[Jethopper]

it was a 2005 and I doubt it was any more than $25,000 or so...

I drive an 03. It was 16k with 50k miles on it...and that was in 08........

[BWillie]

I guess my question still stands... Why? And I guess another question, how old are you?

Because having a 4 roommates nets me about $2,000 extra every month, thus, giving me much more disposable income. But the reason I have so much disposable income is I don't go buying dumb shit like this. Seems pretty simple.

Oh..I'm 26.

[Jewish Rabbi]

How the fuck does it save you $2000/month? What kind of house would you live in otherwise?

[BWillie]

He should hang a huge "Steal Me" sign on it.

[Silock]

Flat black is hot.

[BWillie]

How the **** does it save you $2000/month? What kind of house would you live in otherwise?

Huge 4 bedroom house w/ a huge full basement "apartment" that I live in. I don't need to go upstairs for anything unless I need to change the thermostat. I rent out all my rooms. If I didn't live here, I'd probably throw away money and rent some cheap apartment...so in all reality, I probably end up saving more than $2,000 a month.

I pay off my mortgage at a clip of an extra 2-3K a month right to principal, I get tax incentives on the interest I do pay, and I don't get f*cked by interest like all of you people living pay check to pay check w/ three kids and a wife who spends all your money. I'm set to own my own home outright by the time I'm 32.

[88TG88]

if he was going with all flat black why on earth did he put chrome trimmed rims......:shake:

Yup, the rims killed the look.

[The_Doctor10]

3 years, 1.76 million dollars. As a running back. Not that I begrudge the dude or anything, and an Escalade I'm sure is a valid purchase; add to that I doubt he paid cash for it, I assume he's leasing it.

That being said, when your earning potential is as uncertain as Charles' currently is, and he hasn't yet had a contract that paid him 10-20+ million, it probably behooves him to take especially good care with his money, at least at this point in his career.

Honestly I don't know why I'm even bringing this up, it's none of my business anyway...

[LaChapelle]

Need the rims to help even out the headlights
backlit diamonds in a goat's ass otherwise

[the Talking Can]

did he spray paint it?


looks like shit

[DumbHillbillies]

did he spray paint it?


looks like shit

That's what I was thinking. I don't get this look.

[Pushead2]

did he spray paint it?


looks like shit

just a flat or satin black paint job, custom shop.

[threebag]

Hella nice ass car.

[penguinz]

I don't understand the obsession with giant wheels and tiny tires.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Flat black is hot.

This.

I Fuggin love flat black.

[13and3]

butt ugly, where is the bling?

[Radar Chief]

I’m not typically a fan of lowering and putting huge rims on an SUV, but I must say I’m digging the subdued stealth look. That is hot.
Also, if one is going to un-off road an SUV I guess a Cadillac is the best one to start with, since it’s the closest to where he’s taking it anyway.

[kepp]

Dude needs to put some bigger breaks on that, those wheels look terrible. Otherwise, nice and classy.

Agreed on the wheels.

[Old Dog]

To each his own, but I think it's ugly as sin.

[Param]

http://www.ilovesubstance.com/images/cars/5ylxil3.jpg

Agree. I like the flat black look and that's how it's properly done.

[wildcat09]

bling is out......stealth is the new thing.

[Dayze]

I like flat black on Ducati's, Porsches, Audi....
.....flat black on an Escalade. meh.

his choice though; just not my cup of tea.

[Fat Elvis]

I could put some flames on it.

Volunteering to be a hood ornament doesn't count.

[the Talking Can]

escalades are fug ugly to begin with...all black just emphasizes it

[mikeyis4dcats.]

it may not be an actual paint job either, you can do vinyl wraps that give the look but are reversible when your tired of it, or selling or turning in a lease

[Monty]

I don't understand peoples infatuation with rolling depreciating assets

This. Love the vehicles though. :thumb:

[Pants]

When he gets his real contract, he needs to do the same thing with a Range Rover or a G class.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

If I was a pro athlete, I think I'd roll in a DeLorean.

[ModSocks]

Sam Color as my Car. But his is more Flat black, while mine is Satin.

I'd def have one in my garage.

I agree. Escalades are more of a bling car. Flat black belongs on a stealthy, sleek sports car of menacing muscle car.

A Satin Black C6 Vette would be off the hook.

[ModSocks]

This.

I Fuggin love flat black.

http://zoosviat.com/audimobiles/wp-content/gallery/matte-black-audi-r8-spotted-in-germany/audir8-matte-5.jpg

This is Satin...or Matte black as they call it. Flat looks more like the escalade above. I dont like Flat. Satin has a much more dark tint to it, while flats look kinda chalky. It also costs more to do a Satin paint job.

BTW, if any if you are thinking about doing this; DONT.

It is a BITCH to clean. As soon as someone touches your door with their greasy ass fingers......ughhh

[Lzen]

Maybe I'm just getting old but that Escalade doesn't look that good to me. Different taste, I guess.

[ModSocks]

Maybe I'm just getting old but that Escalade doesn't look that good to me. Different taste, I guess.

Nah, I agree. People just really love the color. IMO, a car like that should stay shiny. Maybe even a Candy if you wanna go custom.

[Braincase]

Put a shiny black "M" on the side and you have BEAST MODE!

[Bob Dole]

If I was a pro athlete, I think I'd roll in a DeLorean.

Why? You don't need to make pro athlete money to own a DeLorean...

[luv]

It looks like it primed and ready to be painted black. Shine it up, and I'd agree.

[Pants]

Why? You don't need to make pro athlete money to own a DeLorean...

AND it'll even go 100 mph! Barely, but still...

[ModSocks]

Why? You don't need to make pro athlete money to own a DeLorean...

Because you can. you should be making good money to be able to waste 20K on a car like a DeLorean.

If you're going to own a Delorean, you should probably own another car or two aside from that.

If I had the money though, I'd own a Murdered Out Year One '77 Trans Am. /Drool

[Lzen]

AND it'll even go 100 mph! Barely, but still...

Well, you only need it to 88 mph if you've got one of those flux capacitor thingy's.

[Valiant]

I agree. Escalades are more of a bling car. Flat black belongs on a stealthy, sleek sports car of menacing muscle car.

Disagree, some people like the covert I could be MIB look..

[ModSocks]

Disagree, some people like the covert I could be MIB look..

Yeah, I just dont think it looks good on that particular car. Shrug. There is nothing stealthy about an Escalade.

You should see my ride at night. It blends in with the night so well that sometimes all I can see is the overall shape of the car.

I love Satin black, but I Hate taking care of it. It takes me about 2 hours to wash my car.

Rinse
Scrub
Rinse
Dry
Apply tire wet
Apply "Back To Black" on all rubber components

And then....sigh...I have to go over the entire car, panel by panel, with Ammonia free Windex and dry the shit out of it. Otherwise, I'll have filmy streaks all over the car. Simply drying it off after it was soaked in water leaves streaks everywhere, hence I have to use windex once the car is dry.

It's a real pain in the ass. Advantage? No need to wax. That's about it.

[alpha_omega]

Sorry...UGLY!

[Tbone8801]

Why is it not glossy? It looks like it's only got a primer coat on it.

did someone answer this? if not this is a flat black paint job, very popular on the street today. If you have the $$ to have it done right!:)

[ModSocks]

Problem is, most people dont do it right. There are so many ricers in my area that drive around with a really bad rattle can job.

[Radar Chief]

The Corveep may get a similar treatment.
I’ve got a buddy that runs the powder coat line at B&W Truck Beds, he measured their powder coating line and found that it’s just wide enough to get my Jeeps body through it.
When I start the project to put my Wagoneer axles under it I had planned to strip it down to a rolling chassis so we can straighten and box the frame then add the necessary brackets to the frame for the suspension I have planned. At that time the body is going to B&W to get powder coated crinkle black. I think it’ll look sweet, unique, besides being tough as nails and next to impossible to scratch.

We powder coat a lot of our parts in a crinkle black just for that very reason; tough as nails.

Ah, I didn't know that you own your house. Saying that would have sufficed instead of making untrue assumptions about my living conditions. ;)

I dont care much for it. But its not my car. Beauty is in the eye of the owner. Esprcially when it comes to cars. Ive seen some awful cars. Many may not care for mine, but I love it.

I saw a Jeep wrangler once that had been entirely covered with black rhino liner. Possibly the smartest thing I had ever seen for somebody's off roading/mudding play toy.
