In the wake of Tiger Woods’ notorious early morning crash, GM took pity.. On the Escalade. GM now plans to repair and possibly auction off the battered SUV, as it was one of several vehicles Woods agreed to be seen in after his promotional deal with Buick ended last year. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell explained:
“The vehicle will be repaired, firstly. This is a promotional/marketing vehicle -- the kinds of cars used for advertising, public displays, photography, etc. That makes this a little different than a garden-variety car repair - given its special usage.”
Caldwell said the repaired Escalade could go back into service as a promotional vehicle, be repurposed for other internal duties or be sold off, most likely through an auction. USA Today believes that if the SUV does go before the gavel, it might be best to sell it as is:
“Ironically, we expect the car -- with its bashed-in front end and windows broken where Woods' wife took a golf club to it, is worth more in damaged condition than repaired. A lot more.” (1)
I would agree. Repairing Tiger’s Escalade makes about as much sense as patching up Abraham Lincoln’s top hat.
What’s the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.........
Maybe it can make the Bonnie and Clyde car circuit.
If they want to make money from the auction, they should include the whole golf bag, along with the ‘club’ that was used( signed by Tiger’s wife).
they need to upgrade the window glass to bulletproof or 9-iron resistant at least.
$300!
And much, much more if unrepaired.

You can’t put ugly chrome rims on a golf ball...
It’s pimped out.
Does it have AstroTurf in the back?
You know, on vicadin, Ambien & alcohol. At 3 am?
The man had a come to Jesus moment with himself.
Is it pathetic? Yes. Sincerely.
I’m for laying off the guy. He has to look at himself in the mirror, and in the eyes of his children.
And the black Escalade comes with a little black book?
What about the wet spots on the seats?
