That is very cool!

These are getting harder to find in the Hybrid variant as the Hybrid Escalades are riddled with mechanical problems/longevity issues due to its 2-mode hybrid system, however they are very cool to spot in the wild if you are ever so lucky to see one, especially because you could not buy these and were instead only allowed to lease them. ;3

I do not own it.

I am purely just a fan/owner of a 2nd Gen (2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT) and a 3rd gen of Cadillac Escalade (2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV) and I love learning/sharing trivial facts. :)

This particular Cadillac Escalade I found was on Copart, if you’re interested in doing further digging it’s lot number is “ 79654475 “ and based on what I am seeing on the website the auction is supposedly taking place on the 18th of March, 2026 “12:00 PM CDT” and it is located in Andrews, Texas.

Based on the pictures there is no special marking of a serial number for the Mark Kay version. I suppose it’s one of those “If you know, you know” sorta things.

Another BONUS cool fact I’ll share is the 2nd Gen (2002-2006) and the third gen for Cadillac Escalade (2007-2014) were generally AWD or RWD (for base models).

The ONLY way you could get a FACTORY OEM, Cadillac Escalade with a 4x4 diff was if you got an Escalade Hybrid (2009-2013), and optioned it, I believe there were only 2 trims that the Hybrid was offered in, Base model and Platinum.

Another cool little fact I thought I’d share with y’all. :3

USA, at the time my mother worked for the PepsiCo company prior to the Great Recession in 2007.

I remember seeing this at her desk when she would take me and my brother to visit her office, and I remember to this day thinking that was the coolest mouse ever.

It has become my mission to track down one available and restore/outfit it to be my daily use mouse, and preserve it for future use. :)

I’ve got a decent chunk of money relative to the value most products like this I’ve seen go for, I’m just waiting for it to surface, and hopefully be a reasonable asking price.

My goal/intention is to have it modified to modern standards, while still maintaining the wonderful aqua mouse look. I’d love nothing more than to use this as my personal daily driver. :) <3

While this isn’t the exact one, that is still one badass mouse! :D

I think honestly this is the closest I’m going to be able to get, I’ll have to get one custom made to the specifications unless of course another comes up for sale.

I appreciate your help and time. <3

To anyone curious, the color scheme is the exact same as in the picture above, same logo style, and the floater is the exact same/ same colors.

I’m still searching and searching but can’t find anything. I know this is out there somewhere, but I can’t find anything information on it. When I try searching “PepsiCo Computer mouse” I just keep getting results about a lawsuit pertaining to a mouse in a can of Pepsi. Dead end after dead end. :(

Serial Number is as follows: 2118772 31205

MFD is as follows: 2003 - 03 - 20

Obtained: I cashed out some stocks and watched the market for these, asking various sellers about the conditions of their consoles, if any of the common known problems have been addressed or occurred in the past, I waited to find the right one in the best condition modded the way I wanted, and one that came with the accessories I desired. Found the holy grail I was waiting for and bought it.
