Another one bites the dust

Another giant fell this week - no I'm not talking about the financial services companies like Lehman, AIG and WaMu. At the height of the so called strong economy (fueled primarily by cheap mortgage and home equity) we had International launch this monster truck - the CXT in 2004. Recently they announced they would discontinue it. Well, gas prices have almost doubled since 2004 and house prices have halved (don't contest the figures, they may be exaggerated but not by much) - so it shouldn't come as a surprise. I'd like to know more about the people who bought these monsters - wikipedia page says Ashton Kutcher was one of them. If you know of more owners, do comment here.
