Cruising around the neighborhood with the intent of showing off one's car, especially when the car is actually lame.
"Hey, did anybody see who hit my car?" "Yeah, it was a bunch of dudes Escalading in a blue Geo Tracker."

An SUV manufactured by Cadillac which uses either a frame from a Chevrolet Tahoe, Avalanche (EXT model), or Suburban (ESV model). Starting at a little under $50,000 US, these trucks are a blatant status symbol amongst young Urban people and senior citizens, the later being a more traditional fanbase for Cadillac. Escalades were made popular from hip-hop artists and have traveled into the mainstream.
The vehicles themselves are highly decorated with chrome and Cadillac decals to show prestige. Their only true claim is that their engine is the biggest of the full-size SUV market (second only to the Porsche Cheyenne, which classifies as a mid-size SUV). The EXT model is a crew-cab pick-up, similar to the Chevrolet Avalance. The ESV model is a full-sized utility, similar to the Chevrolet Suburban.
The Escalade transcends the typical age braket as an SUV, appealing to young men, well-to-do family moms, and old rich white folks.

A vehicle which inner-city morons with bad credit aspire to drive; much in the same way hillbillies aspire to own a fireworks stand.

A SUV equally popular with rappers, drug dealers, old men and soccer moms. Basically a dressed-up suburban .

A.K.A. Lade: A large American SUV based on the GMC Suburban and Yukon models. Favored particularly by hip-hop stars, as they can accomodate more members of their crew than a Ferrari or luxury sedan.
