Q: Where is the best place to tailgate?
A: Tailgating is the art of parting with your vehicle. So you can tailgate just about anywhere you can you can setup a grill, eat and drink. Many hard core tailgating start at the house and work their way to the race track or staduim. It's a tradition which should be passed on from family to family. It's great for all ages.
Q: How do you use the gas powered blenders?
A: The gas powered blender is the heart of the hard core tailgating arsenal. Setup up for your favorite drinks - refer to "Recipes" , fill the blender with some gas, add your liquid mixture, close top, pull the cord and start the blender. Open the top and drop in the ice cubes and nail the thottle. Wait for the crowd to gather and shut down the blender and enjoy. Remember to share!
Q: What is tailgating?
A: Tailgating is the dangerous practice of following very close to the vehicle in front. In most circumstances a proper gap is 2 seconds long or one yard for every mph (these are two different ways of expressing the same distance). Close following or the advanced driver's "overtaking position" are about 1 second behind the vehicle in front. Anything closer than about 1 second can reasonably be described as tailgating, although some people only use the term when the following distance is very small, perhaps under one car's length.
Q: Is there a good tailgating seat for your pickup?
A: You bet ! It's the TailGatorz! Refer to the "Tailgating Section"
