There are a number of popular tailgating games to play in the parking lot before the game or concert.

You can tailgate without a tailgate but most people prefer the extra room and versatility a truck or SUV provides. Problem with that logic is most trucks and SUVs are gas guzzling monsters that produce more pollution than their “greener” brethren. So on this Earth Day 2008 I present to you the Top 8 SUV Hybrids with tailgating in mind. Continue reading →
