Texas Guy, it doesn't matter what you say. Just because you roll your house to the tailgate, and there's a kitchen inside, doesn't mean there should be mobile bars at tailgates. If you want to sit around watching a TV with air conditioners, ceilings fans and stools, stay the hell home. Some guy enters his business venture in a contest for people just having a good time. Texas guy, stay in Texas. That way you don't interfere with the civilized world.

What is an American car? Out of the three Oldsmobiles I own, only one was built in the states. Ditto with my two Chevrolets.

It is kinda lame that a commercial venture is even allowed in..........*yawn*
Texas Guy - 15 years ago
Ok here is an original idea for you Seal. How about we make a smoker out of moped. Then we could turn your Honda civic into an ice cooler for your soy burgers. Here in Texas we know how to tailgate which by the way usually means we have a bar set up with a TV so go back to your hippie commune with your German inspired wannabe BBQ grill. Either way Michael won so that just proves what real tailgaters belive in.
Kristina - 15 years ago
Voting ended Oct. 19...Michael W won...why is this poll still taking votes?
Seal - 15 years ago
PSG, you're right. And Texas Guy, how is the portable sports bar more original than the VW BBQ? It's not. Just throw a bunch of chairs and some TVs in and there you go. And your comment about it not being a classic shows you must be some kind of hick. Buy Ammmerrrican! Martin, you don't have friends. It's obvious. People with friends don't go to sports bars, and wouldn't go to a tailgate party to plant their ugly butt in front of a TV. People with buddies talk to said buddies around a BBQ. Go away.
PSG - 15 years ago
The sports bar is where you go when you have no friends or fellow fans to tailgate or party with. Why would I want to bring that kind of depression to the venue?
BBQ, please and thank you.
Super_180s - 15 years ago
I'd seriously like to know if either of these trailers are fully licensed and registered with their local municipality.
Texas Guy - 15 years ago
Seal. Let me point out one main problem with your comment. "Go Alex for originality," Have you never seen Gone in 60 seconds. Oh my gosh it has a scene with a car that was converted into a grill. At least in the movie it was a classic car and not a foreign job. Tailgating is all american so at least use an american car. GO MICHAEL!!
Bob - 15 years ago
He should've put a 1.8T in the BBQ
1.8T NevAr looses!!!!
But would it chirp third?
Martin - 15 years ago
The VW grill is a nice little novelty item, but if I'm going to a game and see these side by side...I'll look at the VW while I belly up to the Sports Bar. Its much much better for the tailgate. Don't give me the "purity of tailgating" crap---I've got a cold brew, a seat, and a TV with a bunch of buddies doing the same. Winner by a long shot...
Seal - 15 years ago
Texas Guy, you're as wrong as wrong gets. How is bringing a giant trailer with you tailgating? Tailgating isn't about luxurious portable bars, it's about BBQ, sunshades, folding tables and beer. Go Alex for originality, instead of just throwing as much money as possible at some fancy way to disconnect yourself from common tailgating folks.
Texas Guy - 15 years ago
Really a VW grill. What next a prius George Forman grill. This is tailgating here folks not a sissy competition. A bar is the basic component that everybody wants/needs at a tailgating party. Go Michael W.

We won! I want to thank everyone who voted, I wanna thank O., Rani, Morgan, Leo, Bob Autrey, Eddy D, Gizmodo, My wife, her family and friends, My Family, Calvary Academy Alumni, Calvary Cathedral, UNT, Phi Kappa Sigma, the city of Kenner. I want to thank Pepsi Max for sponsoring the contest. Most importantly I want to thank God Almighty. I've given up on so many ideas in my life and he gave me the drive to finally run with a good one.
All the other entries, you guys did amazingly and gave me some of the most gripping moments in my life. I hope we can get together and all tailgate before the game.
To Alex and the VW guys you are awesome and you have such dedicated friends and fans. Keep up the good work I wanna see the next one!

Damn that looks like the UNT game was a blast! I can't wait to see y'all at the superbowl!
Michael W. - 15 years ago
As the owner, I wanted to let you all see how the bar does at a tailgate, it is the focal point and an attention grabber. We had 80 co-eds on board from UNT, having a blast;Girls and Guys. We had everyone else who was tailgating flocking to our spot, quite the opposite of taking us away from the action. With the freezer every thirst was quenched; with the grill, everybody was fed; with the music and football games on tv everyone was live.
follow the link- picasaweb.google.com/westalicious/PortableUNTEmail#
look at the pictures and tell me again thats not the Maximum.
Yes I rent it out because how else am I going to pay insurance to protect me and get permits and pay my loan for my own tailgates? I finished building this 3 weeks ago, I am not some giant business. I am as broke as you right now. The difference is, I built something so cool, so perfect for partying and tailgating that people want to pay me to rent it, how in the world can that be a shot against me.
Anyway good luck all around, it is a tough, tiring, crazy fight and I wish it would be finished right now. Hey PEPSI its 50-50 just pony up some dough and get 4 tickets, I can tow the VW behind the Portable bar, now that is the Ultimate Tailgate.
Rob - 15 years ago
Haha so let me get this straight... a bunch of people are voting for the car grill just because its a volkswagen and they are part of some volkswagen club? Wow..... well myself, as a person actually looking at the contest and what its about, voted for the portable sports bar. It's the only one that seems to have anything "maximum" about it! And its pretty freakin badass!
Bryan - 15 years ago
A grill that looks like the front end to a VW....how exciting....zzzz. So you've brought a BBQ pit...and? The rolling sports bar has BBQ pit also....and TVs, and a sound system, and a FREAKING BAR!! Hmm, do I want to go to the bar with TVs or the burning car?? This isn't even close.
You did a wonderful thing and I wish you all the luck... For you whiners with nothing better to do than put down others hard work, get a life and grow up.
You all do a disservice to your respective groups.
Good luck to you both...

Audi’s new A1 range (2010): the latest news
By Tim Pollard
Industry news
13 October 2009 09:38
Audi top brass last night outlined plans for the 2010 launch of the new Audi A1 family, including a whole range of A1 hatchbacks and potentially A1 estates, convertibles and small 4x4s.
The Audi A1 will be positioned slap bang against BMW’s burgeoning Mini family when UK sales begin in autumn 2010, priced from around £11,000.
The new A1 three-door hatch will be unveiled first at the 2010 Geneva motor show, with continental sales kicking off next summer. Right hand drive markets follow a few months later in September 2010.
What will the new Audi A1 look like?
Almost exactly like the A1 concepts (the Metroproject Quattro and A1 Sportback), according to Peter Schwarzenbauer, Audi AG board member for sales and marketing. ‘There is no substantial change to the concept car,’ he told CAR at last night’s launch of the world’s biggest Audi centre in west London.
We asked him about the prospect of further extensions to the A1 family and, for the first time on the record, he admitted a whole raft of A1s was in the pipeline.
‘We will start with the three-door version with several different engine variants,’ Schwarzenbauer told us. ‘Will we do further models? Look at what we do with the A3 range – we could something similar with the A1.’
That points to a three-door A1 hatchback (based on the 2007 Metroproject concept), a five-door A1 Sportback (the eponymous 2008 concept), an A1 Convertible and an A1-based SUV to battle Mini’s forthcoming Crossover. No prizes for guessing that’ll be badged Q1.
It’s all part of Audi’s stated intent to expand its range from 32 model lines today to a whopping 42 by 2015. The A1 alone will add an extra 80,000 units a year in its first full year.
And what’s the world’s biggest Audi dealership like?
Err, huge! Arranged over seven floors beside the elevated section of the M4, it’s a citadel of aluminium and glass stretching out over 190,000sq ft and featuring a Auto Union Streamliner installation by Gerry Judah of Goodwood sculpture fame. The whole site has taken six years to build and cost Audi a whopping £45 million.
Like Mercedes’ Brooklands experience centre, the west London showroom is more of a destination than your typical dealer. There are chill-out rooms, a heritage section and space to display every one of Audi’s fast-growing range.
It's probably the most impressive dealership I've ever stepped foot in. But then at not far shy of £50m, so it should.

hey steve a.k.a dumb ass, why dont you watch the video and look at the UNIFORM that THE MEN ARE WEARING, or are you that big of a DUMB ASS that you cant even tell if they are military? seriously man talk all the shit you want, it makes me feel great about my portable bar.... i need you to hate it, have nightmares about it, hell i want you to wake up screaming portable bar... the more you hate it, the better i feel about it! so hate away hater... and yea it is a novel idea, not a copy cat like the grill..been there done that. now go copy someone elses idea and pawn it as your own, but this time go for something better than a vw... WHO THE FUG BUYS VW'S ANYMORE? i can see maybe a bmw, mercedez not a piece of shit vw... dnt get me wrong i loved herbie the movie but lets get real. VW? REALLY?
Robin - 15 years ago
There was obviously a lot of hard work put into both projects, but the Sports Bar is way cooler...hands down. It can grill...plus, it can accommodate a real crowd looking for a good time. It's a place to chill and relax while enjoying yourself... Congrats to both of you for an A+ effort, but my girlfriends and me like the sports bar!
Lets all remember - this is a supposed to be a friendly contest for the best tailgating gadget. The sexual innuendos, character assassinations, slandering, etc. REALLY don't belong here. I personally prefer the Jetta because I can imagine the amount of work it took to remove the engine, trans.,axles, etc. - and replace them with some type of assembly (custom) to make it look as though they are still in there - nice work (and I think I know why charcoal gray was selected as the color!!).

azim - 15 years ago
shout out to the portable sports bar! it looks too tight, I would love to chill and play a little madden before the big game. I'm sure the grill in the bar works just fine, I don't need a wv one, Don't know why its so close. The bar is 100x better.
leo - 15 years ago
STEVE... those old farts you are referring to (Majors, generals) served OUR country for over 40+ years and on their annual cookout we wanted to do something special for them as you can see in the video... and yes they are more than welcome to come because anybody who serves our country in ACES in my book and i will be HONORED to be in their presence..... good job buddy way to support our troops, and the people who fight for our country!!
steve i can talk just as much shit as the other guy if not more, but you know what... why? i just wanna go to the super bowl with my boys and have a good time, hey and if i see you there.... i'll even invite you to our portable bar, after a few drinks and some hot dogs im sure you are gonna have a great time with us. stay classy my friend or try to atleast.
t - 15 years ago
My fraternity rented the party trailer for our homecoming this weekend and it was incredible- definately the center of attention in the parking lot and it took forever to get everyone off once our time was up. If the redneck car grill wins, then this competition is rigged. There is no way that lining up for hot dogs from a vw can be more fun than the party we had going on at the bar trailer.

here is a question... did anybody see the orginial MAXIMUM TAILGATING GADGET??? the GUY who said to send in videos of your GADGETS to win the competiton? EDDIE D!! i wonder if he just has a piece of shit grill or was it A BAD ASS BIG BLUE BUS WITH ALLL THE WORKS... FLAT SCREEN TV, PLACE TO CHILL INSIDE THE BUS, A KICK ASS SOUND SYSTEM!!! oh and the grill he has ATTACHED to the BACK of his bus.... yea you are right i guess IT WAS THE GRILL THAT GOT HIM ALL THE ATTENTION AND WHY HE IS HOSTING THE TAILGATING CONTEST.... NOT THE 50-70K HE SPENT ON HIS AMAZING BLUE BUS!!!! yes its clear to me now that its the grill (portable bar has TWO BIG ASS GRILLS ON IT) that is winner, not a portable party bar.... where you can drink, CHILL AT THE BAR and watch the game on the BIG SCREEN, LISTEN TO THE MUSIC ON THE KICK ASS SOUND SYSTEM.... oh and THE GRILLSSSSS!! I WONDER if thats what eddie d had in mind when he was thinking about the ULTIMATE TAILGATING GADGET!!! now shut the bleeep up cuz there is no way you can say SHIT about EDDIE D....THE GUY KNOWS HOW TO PARTY AND SO DO THE PORTABLE PARTY BOYS!!!!

Yeah a car shaped barbecue grill has never ever been done, ever by anyone, and vws are the best cars ever in the whole wide world. when you think of the very word maximum, a vw comes to my mind instantly but only half of it because the whole thing would make the world explode with its maximum extremeness.
Everyone at the superbowl is gonna say whoa look at those guys over there, forget the game i wanna be with them right now, yeah! that is as maximum as it gets.

Hick Dialer - 15 years ago
The car-b-q is free! It's creation was a collaborative effort to bring an idea to life just for the sheer fun of it. The trailer is a business and this contest is just giving them free, albeit bad, PR.
For the people saying that the car-b-q isn't a gadget- SRSLY? You have no idea the design and engineering that went into making that that thing. Stop and think about it for a sec-
just cause you can assemble a bookcase from IKEA doesn't mean that could create a car b-q.
I think the vw grill is the greatest. its relatively small, portable, and is made for what tailgating is all about: eating food and drinking :beer:, not sitting in some fancy bar
Andre - 15 years ago
The Sports Trailer Rocks. The car barbque people are trying to do a good job of discrediting it, but man, it is pretty awesome, and I would rather party on that anyday! Who cares if they rent it out? I don't! Who says anything is free nowadays. Go Sports Bar!

Since when is a business tailgating?? Im sure everything the sportsbar serves is free right?? Looks more like a business venture then a tailgating experience.
Its goes from "oh wow look at that cool trailer to ... " they want me to pay how much for a burger " ... fail
Jodi - 15 years ago
Having said all that, my vote goes to the Portable Sports Bar because 1. the theme is MAXIMUM tailgating (which the sports bar epitomizes with style), 2. it can be towed behind a pickup and 3. it is a GADGET in the TRUE sense of the term! A gadget is shiny, cool and often requires the use of remote controls to operate it! Heck, it's a gadget with more gadgets inside it! YES, the VW Car-B-Q is great for all the reasons posted here but, for me, it is not a MAXIMUM tailgating GADGET. That is what this competition is about. Good luck to you BOTH from the United Kingdom!
Jodi - 15 years ago
WOW! I feel like I just stepped into a 3rd grade classroom! Apparently there are VERY FEW ADULTS voting and posting comments here. The number of people impersonating other people is ridiculous and that shows what COWARDS those of you who do it really are, no matter what side you're on! Y'all are just bullies, hiding in the relative "safety" of the internet to say things you wouldn't DARE say to each other in person because you'd be too afraid to! Where is the sense of FUN in your stupid comments? Where is the sense of the "friendly competition"? You really ought to think before you write something that would be considered "trash talk" because people WILL read these BEFORE they vote and usually, the person with the most crappy comments about the other LOSES! Personally, I think it is a shame that these two had to compete w/ each other because they really are two totally different animals. One has nothing to do with the other, really. It would be great to pair the two--use the VW as one of the grills for the Sports Bar. I think BOTH are very cool ideas! Sadly, the two ARE competing against one another and only one can win.
JonnyT - 15 years ago
The sports bar is alright I guess. With the loud music and video games it seems like it would attract the younger "party goers".
The BBQ is more family oriented and in my opinion would be more suitable for this occasion. Not only do you get to tailgate, but you get to listen to good music/game, eat good food and hang out with good people.
Actually kind of curious to see how the trailer would have turned out if Alex and his friends had built it. I think they could have done a better job.
My vote goes to alex, Good luck man.

Michael's "Portable Sports Bar" looks like it required a lot of effort and engineering... like a really nice hotel bar. Sometimes that type of environment is nice when you're with friends, but when watching sports, eating and drinking,
...I think my friends and I would rather hang out near Alex's "Ultimate BBQ Trailer" because it would be like hanging out in the car lounge.

Relax there trailer queen. Maybe you shoulda saved some coin and built a trailer with bbq. Wow you spent tons of money to build a business venture.

Texas Guy, it doesn't matter what you say. Just because you roll your house to the tailgate, and there's a kitchen inside, doesn't mean there should be mobile bars at tailgates. If you want to sit around watching a TV with air conditioners, ceilings fans and stools, stay the hell home. Some guy enters his business venture in a contest for people just having a good time. Texas guy, stay in Texas. That way you don't interfere with the civilized world.

What is an American car? Out of the three Oldsmobiles I own, only one was built in the states. Ditto with my two Chevrolets.

PSG, you're right. And Texas Guy, how is the portable sports bar more original than the VW BBQ? It's not. Just throw a bunch of chairs and some TVs in and there you go. And your comment about it not being a classic shows you must be some kind of hick. Buy Ammmerrrican! Martin, you don't have friends. It's obvious. People with friends don't go to sports bars, and wouldn't go to a tailgate party to plant their ugly butt in front of a TV. People with buddies talk to said buddies around a BBQ. Go away.
The sports bar is where you go when you have no friends or fellow fans to tailgate or party with. Why would I want to bring that kind of depression to the venue?

I'd seriously like to know if either of these trailers are fully licensed and registered with their local municipality.

The owner of the portable sports bar said "Hey PEPSI its 50-50 just pony up some dough and get 4 tickets, I can tow the VW behind the Portable bar, now that is the Ultimate Tailgate. "
That's a classy move.
The portable bar is the BIDNESS!! That, my friend is taking a puny idea like tailgaiting and representing for that Funkytown! This is Texas, haters. of course we DO IT BIG! wouldn't know how to do it any differently!
We had the portable sports bar at our homecoming in Texas this past weekend. Pretty much the best thing ever. Most likely will do it again. Good luck Mike.
Damn that looks like the UNT game was a blast! I can't wait to see y'all at the superbowl!
As the owner, I wanted to let you all see how the bar does at a tailgate, it is the focal point and an attention grabber. We had 80 co-eds on board from UNT, having a blast;Girls and Guys. We had everyone else who was tailgating flocking to our spot, quite the opposite of taking us away from the action. With the freezer every thirst was quenched; with the grill, everybody was fed; with the music and football games on tv everyone was live.

look at the pictures and tell me again thats not the Maximum.
Yes I rent it out because how else am I going to pay insurance to protect me and get permits and pay my loan for my own tailgates? I finished building this 3 weeks ago, I am not some giant business. I am as broke as you right now. The difference is, I built something so cool, so perfect for partying and tailgating that people want to pay me to rent it, how in the world can that be a shot against me.
Anyway good luck all around, it is a tough, tiring, crazy fight and I wish it would be finished right now. Hey PEPSI its 50-50 just pony up some dough and get 4 tickets, I can tow the VW behind the Portable bar, now that is the Ultimate Tailgate.
Haha so let me get this straight... a bunch of people are voting for the car grill just because its a volkswagen and they are part of some volkswagen club? Wow..... well myself, as a person actually looking at the contest and what its about, voted for the portable sports bar. It's the only one that seems to have anything "maximum" about it! And its pretty freakin badass!
A grill that looks like the front end to a VW....how exciting....zzzz. So you've brought a BBQ pit...and? The rolling sports bar has BBQ pit also....and TVs, and a sound system, and a FREAKING BAR!! Hmm, do I want to go to the bar with TVs or the burning car?? This isn't even close.
Michael,
You did a wonderful thing and I wish you all the luck... For you whiners with nothing better to do than put down others hard work, get a life and grow up.
You all do a disservice to your respective groups.
Good luck to you both...
P.S. Call off your junkyard mutts...
Dude, that portable sports bar is freakin awesome...it should totally win!!!!
Audi’s new A1 range (2010): the latest news
By Tim Pollard
Industry news
13 October 2009 09:38
Audi top brass last night outlined plans for the 2010 launch of the new Audi A1 family, including a whole range of A1 hatchbacks and potentially A1 estates, convertibles and small 4x4s.
The Audi A1 will be positioned slap bang against BMW’s burgeoning Mini family when UK sales begin in autumn 2010, priced from around £11,000.
The new A1 three-door hatch will be unveiled first at the 2010 Geneva motor show, with continental sales kicking off next summer. Right hand drive markets follow a few months later in September 2010.
What will the new Audi A1 look like?
Almost exactly like the A1 concepts (the Metroproject Quattro and A1 Sportback), according to Peter Schwarzenbauer, Audi AG board member for sales and marketing. ‘There is no substantial change to the concept car,’ he told CAR at last night’s launch of the world’s biggest Audi centre in west London.
We asked him about the prospect of further extensions to the A1 family and, for the first time on the record, he admitted a whole raft of A1s was in the pipeline.
‘We will start with the three-door version with several different engine variants,’ Schwarzenbauer told us. ‘Will we do further models? Look at what we do with the A3 range – we could something similar with the A1.’
That points to a three-door A1 hatchback (based on the 2007 Metroproject concept), a five-door A1 Sportback (the eponymous 2008 concept), an A1 Convertible and an A1-based SUV to battle Mini’s forthcoming Crossover. No prizes for guessing that’ll be badged Q1.
It’s all part of Audi’s stated intent to expand its range from 32 model lines today to a whopping 42 by 2015. The A1 alone will add an extra 80,000 units a year in its first full year.
And what’s the world’s biggest Audi dealership like?
Err, huge! Arranged over seven floors beside the elevated section of the M4, it’s a citadel of aluminium and glass stretching out over 190,000sq ft and featuring a Auto Union Streamliner installation by Gerry Judah of Goodwood sculpture fame. The whole site has taken six years to build and cost Audi a whopping £45 million.
Like Mercedes’ Brooklands experience centre, the west London showroom is more of a destination than your typical dealer. There are chill-out rooms, a heritage section and space to display every one of Audi’s fast-growing range.
It's probably the most impressive dealership I've ever stepped foot in. But then at not far shy of £50m, so it should.
hey steve a.k.a dumb ass, why dont you watch the video and look at the UNIFORM that THE MEN ARE WEARING, or are you that big of a DUMB ASS that you cant even tell if they are military? seriously man talk all the shit you want, it makes me feel great about my portable bar.... i need you to hate it, have nightmares about it, hell i want you to wake up screaming portable bar... the more you hate it, the better i feel about it! so hate away hater... and yea it is a novel idea, not a copy cat like the grill..been there done that. now go copy someone elses idea and pawn it as your own, but this time go for something better than a vw... WHO THE FUG BUYS VW'S ANYMORE? i can see maybe a bmw, mercedez not a piece of shit vw... dnt get me wrong i loved herbie the movie but lets get real. VW? REALLY?
There was obviously a lot of hard work put into both projects, but the Sports Bar is way cooler...hands down. It can grill...plus, it can accommodate a real crowd looking for a good time. It's a place to chill and relax while enjoying yourself... Congrats to both of you for an A+ effort, but my girlfriends and me like the sports bar!

Lets all remember - this is a supposed to be a friendly contest for the best tailgating gadget. The sexual innuendos, character assassinations, slandering, etc. REALLY don't belong here. I personally prefer the Jetta because I can imagine the amount of work it took to remove the engine, trans.,axles, etc. - and replace them with some type of assembly (custom) to make it look as though they are still in there - nice work (and I think I know why charcoal gray was selected as the color!!).
Ze Car lounge will vin!
Go BBQ grille yay 3000GT powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
J dogg- Dose your mother know you talk that way, Brains, to take a trailer cut the sides add tables and chairs, novel. And are you just a trailer groupie, cool.
Steve, first of all, you're a fucking faggot, 2nd of all, get off his cock, don't be mad because you don't have the brains to think of something this good. Highly doubtful that you can afford it either. Nice life.
LEO- the only way you and your toothless girls go to the superbowl is that you buy a ticket, or is your bowl the shit bowl, that redneck trailer houses. As for your majors,generals, right !!!!!!!! Our men would not set foot in that bagdad piece of camel dung. rage on vw.
shout out to the portable sports bar! it looks too tight, I would love to chill and play a little madden before the big game. I'm sure the grill in the bar works just fine, I don't need a wv one, Don't know why its so close. The bar is 100x better.
STEVE... those old farts you are referring to (Majors, generals) served OUR country for over 40+ years and on their annual cookout we wanted to do something special for them as you can see in the video... and yes they are more than welcome to come because anybody who serves our country in ACES in my book and i will be HONORED to be in their presence..... good job buddy way to support our troops, and the people who fight for our country!!

steve i can talk just as much shit as the other guy if not more, but you know what... why? i just wanna go to the super bowl with my boys and have a good time, hey and if i see you there.... i'll even invite you to our portable bar, after a few drinks and some hot dogs im sure you are gonna have a great time with us. stay classy my friend or try to atleast.
My fraternity rented the party trailer for our homecoming this weekend and it was incredible- definately the center of attention in the parking lot and it took forever to get everyone off once our time was up. If the redneck car grill wins, then this competition is rigged. There is no way that lining up for hot dogs from a vw can be more fun than the party we had going on at the bar trailer.
LEO, Are you taking the toothless bartender, err your mom and all the old farts sitting at the bar to your make belive bowl party. Its just a lame gay bar.
A BADASS BIG BLUE BUS WITH ALLL THE WORKS!!!! go eddie d.. can wait to party with you ON THE PORTABLE PARTY BAR at the super bowl this year OH AND THE HOT CHICKS YOU HAVE IN YOUR VIDEO!!!!
here is a question... did anybody see the orginial MAXIMUM TAILGATING GADGET??? the GUY who said to send in videos of your GADGETS to win the competiton? EDDIE D!! i wonder if he just has a piece of shit grill or was it A BAD ASS BIG BLUE BUS WITH ALLL THE WORKS... FLAT SCREEN TV, PLACE TO CHILL INSIDE THE BUS, A KICK ASS SOUND SYSTEM!!! oh and the grill he has ATTACHED to the BACK of his bus.... yea you are right i guess IT WAS THE GRILL THAT GOT HIM ALL THE ATTENTION AND WHY HE IS HOSTING THE TAILGATING CONTEST.... NOT THE 50-70K HE SPENT ON HIS AMAZING BLUE BUS!!!! yes its clear to me now that its the grill (portable bar has TWO BIG ASS GRILLS ON IT) that is winner, not a portable party bar.... where you can drink, CHILL AT THE BAR and watch the game on the BIG SCREEN, LISTEN TO THE MUSIC ON THE KICK ASS SOUND SYSTEM.... oh and THE GRILLSSSSS!! I WONDER if thats what eddie d had in mind when he was thinking about the ULTIMATE TAILGATING GADGET!!! now shut the bleeep up cuz there is no way you can say SHIT about EDDIE D....THE GUY KNOWS HOW TO PARTY AND SO DO THE PORTABLE PARTY BOYS!!!!
The portable bar is an ingenious idea and definitely good for tailgating!
Cool Story Bro!
I like the vw trailer, but its been done before:
http://www.mr2bbq.com/
-pnts for originallity
+pnts for good quality and car club loyalty
Alex is really cool dude, Part of the VW gang hope he wins. PNW Vortex all the way
"It isn't tailgating if you are in a bar. Yes the bar took a great amount of effort and money, but you are removing yourself from the whole tailgating atmosphere which is not "maximum tailgating"."
AMEN!
Yeah a car shaped barbecue grill has never ever been done, ever by anyone, and vws are the best cars ever in the whole wide world. when you think of the very word maximum, a vw comes to my mind instantly but only half of it because the whole thing would make the world explode with its maximum extremeness.
Everyone at the superbowl is gonna say whoa look at those guys over there, forget the game i wanna be with them right now, yeah! that is as maximum as it gets.
grill = 1.8t = nevar lose. TCL FTW
I keep looking at both in the competition and one looks like you could cook up a bunch a stuff at any game with friends around... the other (the sports bar).. all thats missing is the beer company signs.. go to the local pub and sip your suds around a big screen..
My fraternity just rented the party trailer this past weekend for our homecoming and it was incredible. Definately the center of attention in the parking lot and it took forever to get people to leave once our time was up. If the redneck car grill wins, then this competition is rigged. People waiting in line for hot dogs from a vw does not compare to the party we had.
Jewish_,
1. You need to learn how to spell, use correct grammar and appropriate words. 2. "Gadget" as in the colloquial definition, which wouldn't be in any dictionary.
I have been to the portable sports bar. it's a total sausage fest. worst bar in whatever town it's in.
Surely the VW grill will break down and leak oil
COOL STORY, BREH!!!!!!!1!!
COME ON THE PORTABLE SPORTS BAR HAS IT ALL, AND THE VW GRILL COULD HAVE ALEAST USED A COOL VW MODEL INSTEAD OF HIS LEFT OVER CAR BODY PARTS, THEN I MIGHT OF THOUGHT HE PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO IT BEFORE JUST BUILDING A FIRE. MY VOTE FOR THE SPORTS BAR
Jodi, you need to open a dictionary before you open your mouth and research exactly what a gadget is.. a gadget does not require an form of electronics or controls. hell a fucking rubix cube is a gadget and that is strictly mechanical...
This is a tough vote. The bar is a form of ultimate... but not really tailgating. It has more than the VW.
I settled it based on which would I prefer to own and actually use for real tailgating. VW wins
the grill in a car idea was already passe' when ti was on Gone in 60 Seconds, old boring news. Why didnt you come up with something really nice and creative?
Well I guess you vw people can thank all the stupid vw forums for voting just because of what car it is.... What a joke.
PRETTY COOL STORIES BRO
LOWER IT
REPOST
BAH HUMBUG IS A RAGING HOMO
FUCKING TCL
It isn't tailgating if you are in a bar. Yes the bar took a great amount of effort and money, but you are removing yourself from the whole tailgating atmosphere which is not "maximum tailgating".
The car-b-q is free! It's creation was a collaborative effort to bring an idea to life just for the sheer fun of it. The trailer is a business and this contest is just giving them free, albeit bad, PR.
For the people saying that the car-b-q isn't a gadget- SRSLY? You have no idea the design and engineering that went into making that that thing. Stop and think about it for a sec-
just cause you can assemble a bookcase from IKEA doesn't mean that could create a car b-q.
I think the vw grill is the greatest. its relatively small, portable, and is made for what tailgating is all about: eating food and drinking :beer:, not sitting in some fancy bar
The Sports Trailer Rocks. The car barbque people are trying to do a good job of discrediting it, but man, it is pretty awesome, and I would rather party on that anyday! Who cares if they rent it out? I don't! Who says anything is free nowadays. Go Sports Bar!
Thanks to whomever called me from the Dallas area, I haven't received the voicemail yet due to AT&T but I'm sure its wonderful...
Do you want to be burned to death with 'the ultimate BBQ trailer'? It's ugly and useless.
The winner must be 'The Portable Sports Bar. It has class and provides fun.
Since when is a business tailgating?? Im sure everything the sportsbar serves is free right?? Looks more like a business venture then a tailgating experience.
Its goes from "oh wow look at that cool trailer to ... " they want me to pay how much for a burger " ... fail
Having said all that, my vote goes to the Portable Sports Bar because 1. the theme is MAXIMUM tailgating (which the sports bar epitomizes with style), 2. it can be towed behind a pickup and 3. it is a GADGET in the TRUE sense of the term! A gadget is shiny, cool and often requires the use of remote controls to operate it! Heck, it's a gadget with more gadgets inside it! YES, the VW Car-B-Q is great for all the reasons posted here but, for me, it is not a MAXIMUM tailgating GADGET. That is what this competition is about. Good luck to you BOTH from the United Kingdom!
WOW! I feel like I just stepped into a 3rd grade classroom! Apparently there are VERY FEW ADULTS voting and posting comments here. The number of people impersonating other people is ridiculous and that shows what COWARDS those of you who do it really are, no matter what side you're on! Y'all are just bullies, hiding in the relative "safety" of the internet to say things you wouldn't DARE say to each other in person because you'd be too afraid to! Where is the sense of FUN in your stupid comments? Where is the sense of the "friendly competition"? You really ought to think before you write something that would be considered "trash talk" because people WILL read these BEFORE they vote and usually, the person with the most crappy comments about the other LOSES! Personally, I think it is a shame that these two had to compete w/ each other because they really are two totally different animals. One has nothing to do with the other, really. It would be great to pair the two--use the VW as one of the grills for the Sports Bar. I think BOTH are very cool ideas! Sadly, the two ARE competing against one another and only one can win.
The sports bar is alright I guess. With the loud music and video games it seems like it would attract the younger "party goers".
The BBQ is more family oriented and in my opinion would be more suitable for this occasion. Not only do you get to tailgate, but you get to listen to good music/game, eat good food and hang out with good people.
Actually kind of curious to see how the trailer would have turned out if Alex and his friends had built it. I think they could have done a better job.
My vote goes to alex, Good luck man.
DISREGARD THAT COMMENT, I SUCK DICKS!
Michael's "Portable Sports Bar" looks like it required a lot of effort and engineering... like a really nice hotel bar. Sometimes that type of environment is nice when you're with friends, but when watching sports, eating and drinking,
...I think my friends and I would rather hang out near Alex's "Ultimate BBQ Trailer" because it would be like hanging out in the car lounge.
Relax there trailer queen. Maybe you shoulda saved some coin and built a trailer with bbq. Wow you spent tons of money to build a business venture. Have fun at your local highschool creeping on the girls with that thing. It is nice but damn thats not tailgating thats setting up a bar in a parking lot, do you have a liquor license?
That Portable Trailer ROCKS! What a classy tailgating gadget. Wins my vote any day.
I own this poll.
Go Alex R.
Go TCL
