I think the Escalade is the least of Rob's worries.
Check the class the Escalade is in. Then compare the Escalade to the death traps most "folks" ride around in.
"But drivers of today’s SUVs are among the least likely to die in a crash, the Institute’s latest calculations of driver death rates show."
The Escalade is one of the safest cars you can own. ( If you can afford it. ) I surely would not want to be hit by one though.
