THE MAXIMUM TAILGATE FINALS!!! Who deserves to go to the Big Game? (Poll Closed)

That Portable Sports Bar is an amazing idea! Love it! Hope to see it in Miami for the big game.

The Portable Sports bar is sooo classy looking. I would totally have it at any event! I want to get my pinup gals there! Go Michael W!

The sports bar seems to be a bit of an over-kill for a tailgate party. It looks like a burger trailer you'd see at the fair. (with a TV) don't get me wrong, its cool, but my vote is for the VW BBQ. Great idea and it being street legal is stinkin funny!!

Supercool Sports Bar!!!! I'd park it my yard or tailgate with it if I could! It's a party waiting to happen!

The Sports Bar is cool.. but this about tailgating.. its a bar!!! The VW for a tailgate party... AWESOME... definetly would be a hit at any game....

This bar is all about tailgating, I designed it from the ground up with it in mind, and we will be tailgating at the UNT game tomorrow. Also because people keep asking, we have the freedom FG-100 that fits in the umbrella holder onboard and we have a giant smoker that we can tug behind the bar. The whole thing is portable and registered and street legal andwe pull it with a regular 3/4 ton pickup. The entire unit is custom from the ground up and filled with the all the sweat, passion and new debt that me and my partner could get our hands on.

The sports bar (as cool as it might be) has nothing to do with tailgating.

The VW BBQ (to me) is al about hanging out with friends and having fun.
The sports bar is about hanging out with strangers being a poser.

Sounds like poor Cedric doesn't have enough friends to have a good time on the portable bar. Won't somebody be his friend?

That vw grill is awesome!

I'll be Cedric's friend. I've seen that VW BBQ feed over 100 people at games, car shows, you name it.

I'VE GOT A SPORTS BAR TOO. 2 TABLES AND 8 CHAIRS WHATS THE DIF.

The sports bar looks like a nice little trailer but it has none of the novelty of the carbque. I voted for the car one simply because it is much more creative.

The sports bar is waaaaaaaay cooler, no competition

THE VW GRILL IS GREAT! RATHER SEE A TRUCK FRONT END, THAN A VW... BUT BEATS 10 METAL BAR STOOLS WITH WHEELS ANYDAY.

The trailer belongs at a fair, carnival or at a lake landing. Nice project, but still it looks more like a mobile business.

The VW grill belongs in the stadium lot actually TAILGATING! I'd like to actually own that thing. Hmmm, there is that dead Thunderbird up the street....

Constructive comments only... Sell the positive points only... Tailgating is in the eye of the beholder... You will see Portable Events in the national spotlight very soon...

The Sports bar is by far the coolest thing that i have EVER seen,... and I've seen many, many things!!!!

The VW MKII grill is so original, seems like a great place to hang out with friends. I'm not really feeling the sports bar. Looks more like a diner, too impersonal.

Whatever, I think the best part about the bar is that it can be decorated to whatever you want it to be, its like a portable building that this guy built that goes away when we are done partying leaving nothing but hangovers.
Maybe this is the wrong website, I'll party in the rolling nightclub with my Zeta's(represent) while you nerds play circle jerk around your junkyard fireplace.

The "Sports Party Trailer" thought of everyting!!! When you need to party big
it's called "trailer gating". West's is done right!!!

Hahaha, the Jettaque is amazing. You can't fight the power of TCL!

I thought the trailer looked okay enough until I opened the pictures. Snore. Seriously? The Car-be-que is creative and fun. And the marketing shots of it are far better than the "challenger's."

Besides, how on earth can you call it tailgating without fire? You eat cold hot dogs? Or just stuffed green olives?

The question remains: is the sports bar capable of becoming a boat? Has it been on a boat? Does it float like a boat?

I'm pretty sure I saw it in this music video once...

Portable sports bar is ALL about tailgating. Yeah the grill is a grill, and it's in a vw, but it's a grill. The sports bar brings a mini environment to the parking lot you're at and is freakin AWESOME! I get to tailgate tomorrow in it and am SO FREAKIN EXCITED! let's do this.

as the designer of the car-b-q.. i believe all this is about having fun and making people see something out of the ordinary. Regardless of where this poll takes us i think all the ideas people posted on here were interesting and innovative...

The Portable Sports Bar seems like an easy choice. It looks safe, organized, and it even has an xbox to play madden before a big game.

My love for the MK2 VW's aside, the grille has a LOT more to do with tailgating than the bar. Its easier to pull to the game, very functional in the BBQcentric tailgating atmosphere, and would be killer at the next ISU/Iowa game. The bar is nice & well built, but seems to sterile and boring to me.

michael i totally voted for your portable sports bar!! i would park that in my yard and use it every chance i got! great idea..i hope to see it at the big game

As the designer of the Portable Sports Bar, I believe your "car-b-q" is idiotic. It's just a grill.

Micahel W. Of course you feel that way since your the designer of the sports bar. But as you can see the voters feel other wise. So deal with it and stop complaining cause your losing

I don't understand what the issue is. If you were at a game with some friends, would you want to hang around a busted,burning VW? or ? Would you want to hang out where the party is at? Cold beer, smoked food, flat screens, seats, and oh yeah a full DJ booth and system? The question is. Do you want to party with some V.I.P. amenities? OR yee haa lets watch a V.W. burn!
This is the Super Bowl!!! Not a hillbilly reunion!! My vote is for the transformer trailer great job!

I have to agree with Sharbel. All I see with the VW is something that would be cool at my 1 year old daughter's birthday party (if my grill is broken!) I have an old Mercedes in my backyard. If I cut it in half, can I get in this competition as well?!?! I mean after all, this is a Mercedes-Benz! LOL
Seriously, Mike's Transformer Trailer is where I would want to hang out and party.....not on the side on of cut in half VW hanging with the Fat Boys eating a Earl Campbell Hot Link! I know where the honeys will be hanging.....at the Trailer.....you know!

I thought Mike's ideal was stupid until I saw this other Herbie the luv bug. I was wondering what happened to him. This is not even a fair comparison. The portable party is actually a good concept. Best of luck Mike.

I'm looking at this VW again, and I really don't get it! It's a GRILL!!!!! Nothing more, nothing less! You should've cut a little less of the VW so there would at least be place to put a 6 pack!

Is that a remodeled single wide? "The entire unit is custom from the...new debt that me and my partner could get our hands on." Nice, real nice. I prefer built, not bought. Go Alex 55/45 as of now!

I think this is about tailgating - not sitting in a trailer "watching" the game - but being at the game (or whatever). VW Jetta - nice choice - easy to tow, inconspicuous, low maintenance, make people bring their own chairs, no generator needed....cool! Works nicely with the PepsiMax ad campaign.

I'm confused, I thought this was about "MAXIMUM" tailgating, not "what can you stuff a grill in".... I thought it was about innovation and taking it to the max fun level, which is what I see in the portable sports bar and why it got my vote. That thing really takes it to the next level. I think the VW grill thing is kinda cool and would be fun to hang out around with some friends, but I don't see how on earth it innovates anything or takes anything to the next level. I have seen many grills under car hoods before. Best of luck to the portable sports bar! Hope to see you at the Superbowl!

quote "As the designer of the Portable Sports Bar, I believe your "car-b-q" is idiotic. It's just a grill."

dang someone woke up on the wrong side of the barstool... good thing you have a bar... so you can drink it up when you lose

The portable sport bar is awesome! Great design.

I like small asain men so i voted for the portable sports bar.

I think even though the owner may not be asain, you'd never know it with the lights off.

So the portable sports bar is a business? The recession must be pretty bad if you have to enter your business into a contest to win superbowl tickets...

For the record I'm Michael W. The owner of the bar. Not micahel w. So whoever posted " the barbq grill is idiotic comment for me, cut it out. While I may not think it fits the "Maximum Tailgate" profile. I know those guys worked hard and I wish them well.
Also the new debt went to parts that I used with a team of other guys to build it from the ground up. I'm not rich just imaginative. And the pictures that are up were 2 days after we finished building it so yes it did look sterile. But you should see it now.

.......yeah, but the car-b-que has soul.

I suck and Im a tool. Mom and dad payed for everything.

Personally, I'd rather send the guy who created something clever. The Sports bar appears to be something of a business venture. The vw seems to be very obvious- a barbeque trailer for tailgate parties. One of you looks like you can probably afford to buy tickets to the bowl if you lose anyway. The vw looks a hell of a lot more welcoming then a bar in an oversized mobile home.

Are we voting for which one looks cooler or which one is a better invention? A grill that looks like a car is extremely boring compared to that kickin' portable bar. And I don't get the comments that it's huge... I watched the video for it and it doesn't seem remotely large until it's folded down and opened up. It's not an RV, it hooks up as much as the grill does; in fact it even has a hitch on the end for the grill to be brought as long as well. :)

Wow, by the line posted by "Michael W." just above Ian I can see what kind of folk the car grill has supporting it.
And how is the portable sports bar not clever? It folds out and sets up in no time and is self-contained. Not like some vendor that has a trailer with a window to serve beer and hot-dogs out of. If you can't tell how much time, effort, and desire went into (the real) Michael W.'s portable sports bar then I must contest that you are blind. It's a rolling set it up just about anywhere party, perfect for the parking lot at the big game. If you really saw the two sitting next to each other, would you walk over to the grill or walk over to the tailgate party? I'm just sayin...

Here are my comments from Switzerland: the Sports Bar is bound to me the number 1 with great potential in Europe. How can anybody not vote for Michal W.?
There is style, there is class, there is future.
Off you go to Miami-

i would walk over to the grill... simply because i dont really wanna pay a cover charge to tailgate.. ;)

As I said in my hit song 'Human Spark', "God, for the love of me I don't know why We hurt each other In the name of what is right."

Let's just all try and get along! Surely we can appreciate the innovation and craftsmanship of both parties entries. They are well done and interesting. That's why they made it to the finals!

With that said, why don't we all take a lesson from another song I wrote called 'How to Say Goodbye'. Goes something like this:

Tell me why
Why does following your dreams
Take you far away from me
And I knew that it would

Tell me how to feel the space you left behind
And how to laugh instead of cry
And how to say goodbye

Wise words... And I know that someday you guys and your portable sports bar will find a way to laugh instead of cry. I just know it.

I can not understand why we are comparing a grill to a portable party trailer?
Ok the grill is a grill... am i missing something else? The grill is a car grill,seen many other makes and models from cars to shopping carts. The key is tail gate party... correct? How many portable transforming party trailer have you seen????? Answer? Fewer than creative grills! It does not matter how much money was put in or any of that. The most creative, inovative,coolest tailgating idea. RIGHT? TRAILER WINS! A ONE STOP SHOP!

I think there are enough smartasses here..... but since people are feeling smart today... Glad I didn't vote for the grill, I have one of those in my garage. It also fits in the back of my truck, which oddly enough can also go to the game, and has a tailgate to sit on at least. Maybe I should enter my truck with my grill in the back next year...

Just checking it all out both of you look like you had some great ideas. But judging the pictures, it looked like a bunch of toolboxes with some busted vw's hanging around a grill having a sausuge fest. As a matter of fact the only female in the picture was standing way in background looking very bored. She was probably one of yalls cousins though. As a heterosexual male I would prefer the party trailer. WHO SKIMPED MY RIDE AND PIMPED MY TRAILER. Peace be with you Michael W Smith.

Easy guys. I thought this was a neat little competition but it's getting ugly. Just like that vw grill. Are you guys serious? George Foreman just called and said it's on now. By the way if the grill loses Obama said he will give the owner 2000 dollars for cash for clunkers since it's only half a car. If you go find the other piece we can make that part a portable potty. Now there's an idea. Is it too late to enter?

Great idea Mike,that's real innovative and looks so cool.I'm not feeling the VW grill too much.Having sold VW's for awhile,I know a piece of sh*t when I see one,it's nice to know the finally put good use to a VW.

since when has a VW in any form been practical; i suppose the whole part of setting it on fire was a good thought, but they even missed the mark on that...

nice one !!!

I dont get it, what the big deal, its a grill. I can take one of my clunkers and make grill tomorrow. There is no competition here the trailer is awsome and I would much rather party with that than a grill.
GREAT JOB MIKE,

The sports bar is a commercial enterprise. Do you have to pay cover? How much are drinks and food? How long do I have to wait in line to get a seat? Sorry man, the VW BBQ goes to the root of what tailgating is about, relaxing with friends and being laid back.. not paying my way in an attempt to look look like a "balla" on trailer

Glad to know the dealerships are putting the cash for program to use with that VW. Where do you get beer from at the VW? The trash can keg?

Why do you people keep assuming things like that you get charged a cover and stuff like that? Do you really have any idea how he uses it/plans to use it? If not then why are you basing your opinion on that and henceforth choosing something that serves only one of the many purposes the sports bar serves? My vote goes to the sports bar, since this is a competition about maximum tailgating and that's what it is, not just what form you use to get your grill to the game.

My point exactly, Jman

This is to P.

Michael W. has a website on Facebook that you can rent his thing out at, but for SOME reason, Gizmodo won't let me post the link to the page even though I have tried several times now.

Hey guys no one said there would be a cover charge! How much is the drink and food? Same price it is at shitty shitty bang bang on fire! Jeff, you are right what a bunch of tools. Yes there will probably be a line at the trailer! Cause it's bangin and the music is bumpin. I hope they do charge a cover! It is a well known fact it keeps the riff raff out! TRAILER WINS!!!!!

Markus-
Just out of curiousity, what exactly on you going to lay back on?!?!?! I'm sure sausages will be very popular around the hillbilly campfire!!!!!

Great news Markus. By the looks of your comments, you my friend won't have to worry about getting laid or looking like a balla.

The reason Mike has a link on his facebook is because he has an amazing product that people would pay for. I am not sure about the rest of you but there is no way I would pay to use a VW grill.

I dont think there is a cover charge. other wise all the old men sitting at sports- senior bar would not be there. You know fixed income. I bet that muisc is bumpin, like franks you did it my way. You think the old folks get there meds with the can sodas. Yeah that senior bar ROCKS. Courtesy wheelchairs included. And who the hell is that hot toothless bartender, Mike oldlady, sweet. Wake up people thats not tailgating, just a bunch of drunks with tabels and chairs. lammmmmmmmme.

In your FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. West hands down
!

Steve that fuction you are refering to was a party for returning and retired Iraq veterans. Yes the served soda,yes the served 400 lbs of brisket,yes they could not play 50 cent. One of those old farts was a 3 star general. You hillbilly suasage sucker wouldn't know anything about that.Steve is that your name? or summers eve or masangill cause you are a douche. Class is like your ass it allways shows,and i'm sure all the guys around the VW know what your ass looks like huh! and you know i'm sure what their ass taste like!! real tailgating huh? burn me a frank homo and shut up wow that's a party.

Vet, settledown bigboy, If those were iraqi veterans, they sure did age. looked more like a retierment party for your grandpa. brisket my ass, how the hell could they chew it. you big stud tailgater keep dreamin, ill roast a dog for you at the big game. now time for your nap.

Well back to the topic at hand.... Garry, there's a big difference between renting something out to people so they can use it and charging people a cover to come on your portable sports bar at the game. The possibility of him renting it out has nothing to do with everyone's stupid comments about not wanting to pay a cover charge or whatever. Two different deals but people tend to mix everything up in their heads it seems. And to be honest, even if there WAS a cover charge I'd pay that before I stand around the burning vw all day. It gets old seeing everybody making assumptions though and basing their opinion on what they do not know rather than what they do know.

Steve don't roast on for me keep it warm where you hide them:IN YOUR ASS!!
I'm sure the warmth of the fire keeps the swelling on your busy anus! I would love to tell you to suck it, but i'm afraid you would interput that as a come on....... SOOOOOOOO take your young loose ass to the VW grill and suck them all. OR go serve your country, your people can be free and openly gay in the military but thank Obama for that.

Sharbel- Just FYI- if you enter your email address where it says "Your Website URL" it shows up when you put your mouse over the name you make up. Making up new names doesn't change this fact.

Just based on your last post as 'Vet' I wouldn't buy a car from you and I would discourage anyone I know from doing so... Maybe that's why there have been 5 customer complaints against you guys in the last year... Hmm.

VET, have a little class, now dont you have some glasses to wash errr cans to crush. and wipe those chairs down, Hey wheres the hot chick with no teeth, errr your mom.

Since when does this have anything to with somebody's car dealership? And either way, jackass, do you run a car dealership or something? Are you captain everybody that comes into your dealership leaves with a smile on their face? If 99 out of 100 customers are completely happy it will be the one that expected their ass to get wiped for them and is disgruntled that will go to the effort to try to make the dealership look bad. So if you don't really know what you're talking about, why don't you shut your ignorant ass up and worry about your vw buddy's little rattle-canned rolling grill and all the dudes that hang out around it in the woods....

And that is even assuming that person is somebody from that dealership, who really knows, you can put any email address in here and it works either way. And if you want to judge any business from what you read on the internet from a couple of pissed off people your opinion is worthless anyway.

Sharbel/Vet/P/Boss/Whatev-

Nope. I don't run a dealership, but you do. All I'm saying is that just because you are behind in the vote doesn't mean that you need to spew the trash that you've been talking. It is immature and foolish.

The internet is a crazy beast and it would be too bad if your comments and the fact that you own a local car dealership made it into the star-telegram...
Kinda makes for some bad PR.

Go Michael's Portable Sports Bar! Yeah!

A bunch of good friends, Brauts cookin on the grill, and Great sounding music... and all with a BBQ trailer that does not require a lot of space .... the makings of a great tailgate party. Good job Alex!

Wow! It's supposed to be a Maximum Tailgate experience! It's about hanging with your friends before the game getting excited! At least with the the Portable Sports bar you are covered a bit and can watch the flat screen in style while your friends (and listen to Jimmy, Terry, Howie & Gang). When you're done, fold it up and lock it up! By the way, it was built from the ground up with two guys who enjoy nothing more than enjoying sports. By the way, have you tailgaters never been to a Jimmy Buffet tailgate?! The parrotheads KNOW how to tailgate, maybe we should invite them to vote?

The difference P is that one is built by a company to make money and the other is built by someone who wants to have a good time. Next thing you know Budweiser will have an entry into this contest just for the publicity and who is going to be able to compete with them?

But of course all of you fools will go "oh shiny" and vote for the submission that spent the most money no matter where it came from anyway.

TCL NEEEEEEEVVVVVAAARRRR LOOOSSSEEEE

@ Michael W Smith, seriously bro, why don't you shut up and just vote for the Trailer!!!! Sounds like you are getting sensitive.....is it that time of the month?!?!? Because everytime someone talks about sausages, you get offended....its a super bowl tailgate competition, not a pick up contest....Oh I get it, you keep thinking about the word TAILgate!!!

Why are the sportsbar supporters so angry? Glad I clicked here before voting. The grill would be better if it was made from a boxster though. Ban me.

At least the VW Car-b-q could chirp third, and look cool doing it.

Good job on the sportsbar but my vote is for you Alex.
GO BEARS!
and
GO TCL!

honestly, mike put a major amount of effort into the sports bar, just for the purpose of having a good time; sure there is always a bigger dream, but at the heart of it was the idea of having a great place, to have a great time...anywhere. Realistically, the VW does not support the whole premise of The Maximum Tailgate Party - the sports bar does.

Michael W.Smith,why do you take this so seriously? This is just trash talking like the VW grill,lol! Didn't you sing a song with the lyrics,"looking for a reason,roaming through the night to find my face in this world,my face in this world". You found it alright,to be a whiney lil' beyotch!!!!

i love how people are getting offended by this crap... who cares... votes dont lie

VW BBQ Trailer FTW. You can't fight the power of TCL!

Your trailer kills the climate! Global Warming is not a myth! My pseudo-scientific job depends on it!

Dearest Taco Man- Yes, I did grace the world with that hit. Glad you know it. I also wrote another tune called 'In My Arms Again'. And taco man, I wrote it just for you:

I really wanna see you
I really wanna touch you
If only I could hold you in my arms again

Call me.

aw yeah...old "friends" reunite

I am voting for the Sports Bar, TCL can suck it.

That trailer is carnival material... the Car-BQ is way better for this theme

The best part about this car b que is that our friend had a random idea one night and we posted this on our volkswagen forum in the northwest. People started jumping on the idea, because they wanted to bring it to all the car shows... we had people all around donating almost EVERYTHING. It stands as a symbol of comradery of the VW community in the northwest.

true... i have seen this bbq personally and it really was well built and well executed. The trailer is cool, but it does remind me of something i would see at a fair... good luck to both! bbq FTW...

TCL OWNAGE

We want shiny win. We like shiny trayler!! It give us elefant eer. nom. nom.

We look for things. We are smart.

We are strong!!!

shiny trayler lovers r strong an smarT

I own this poll.

Go Alex R.

Go TCL

That Portable Trailer ROCKS! What a classy tailgating gadget. Wins my vote any day.

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?

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.

DISREGARD THAT COMMENT, I SUCK DICKS!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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...

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!

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 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.

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".

PRETTY COOL STORIES BRO
LOWER IT
REPOST
BAH HUMBUG IS A RAGING HOMO

FUCKING TCL

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.

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?

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

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...

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

COOL STORY, BREH!!!!!!!1!!

Surely the VW grill will break down and leak oil

I have been to the portable sports bar. it's a total sausage fest. worst bar in whatever town it's in.

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.

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.

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..

grill = 1.8t = nevar lose. TCL FTW

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.

"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!

Alex is really cool dude, Part of the VW gang hope he wins. PNW Vortex all the way

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

Cool Story Bro!

The portable bar is an ingenious idea and definitely good for tailgating!

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!!!!

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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- 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.

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.

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.

Go BBQ grille yay 3000GT powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ze Car lounge will vin!

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!!).

The Portable Sport's Bar is the real deal.

Bro, that was a cool story, Bro!

eco forums WHADDUP

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!

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?

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.

Dude, that portable sports bar is freakin awesome...it should totally win!!!!

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...

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.

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!

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.

Damn that looks like the UNT game was a blast! I can't wait to see y'all at the superbowl!

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.

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!

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.

I really like the portable sports bar.. And I believe hands down that the sports bar was much more creative. Good Job!

TCL owns this poll!!

Vote for the VW so I can take a pic posing in front of it!

The portable sports bar is AMAZING!!!! I wanna take it to the next big game I go to!

guess who is goin to the super bowl???? ME AND MY CREW BABY!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! thank you alllll for all the support and love guys... as the owner of the portable bar, i would like to INVITE EVERYBODY WHO VOTED FOR US TO COME PARTY WITH US AT THE SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR....

Congrats! You guys have a great design and to tell you the truth I'm not sure how we got this far in the competition but have fun at the big game and if you're ever in Washington look us up and we'll have a BBQ.

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!
Woohoo!

Shenanigans.

Alex this competition was insane, and you have mad support from people who love you, that why and how you got so far and so did we and thats a pretty awesome thing to have... we definitely need to do a BBQ man, you guys are awesome... it was a good competiton lets party together we are not bad people, and it looks like you guys know how to have fun too. takecare and much love!!!

Its not faster than my 3000 GT

Alex, well done with a nice finish. We're proud of you.

Michael, congratulations - enjoy the game.

"The Ultimate VW LoserQ Trailer"

VW Trailer brings Tail Gating Together FTW...

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.

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.

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...

He should've put a 1.8T in the BBQ

1.8T NevAr looses!!!!

But would it chirp third?

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!!

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

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.

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.

Voting ended Oct. 19...Michael W won...why is this poll still taking votes?

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.

It is kinda lame that a commercial venture is even allowed in..........*yawn*

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

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.

-Peace
