Gauntlet thrown down at the Joneses

My apartment complex should be named Joneses Landing. I'll watch the lease arms race grow between adjacent parking spaces (they guy who used to have the X3 was outdone by the guy who got the X5 so the X3 guy got a Range Rover Sport, etc etc etc).
My Aero is overshadowed by an Escalade to the left ('Mount Blingmore' as I refer to it, since it's that pearlescent white), and used to face another almost identical escalade, until they decided to go for a Vette, then 2, to beat the other guy who only has one.
However, one resident just dropped the thermonuclear bling bomb, and it doesn't fit in the garage. Yes, an International CXT. I originally though they were a web joke. Or that it was concept car (truck) vaporware.
If you don't know what this is, it's an SUV based on a semi: http://www.navistar.com/site_layout/xtfamily/cxt.asp
It's very real, it's VERY big, and I don't think he has much luck parking it. At least everyone else can just give up now. I'll try to get a pic or two of it dwarfing something for size reference (like a Camry, Yukon, or the USS Intrepid)
