When it comes to tailgating, expert asphalt-dwellers agree you need three key elements for true parking lot success: good BBQ, good beer and good buds. This spectator sport of sorts is no isolated phenomenon reserved only for hillbillies and rednecks. In fact, tailgating fever has spread across the country like a Britney Spears rumor, firmly establishing itself as a bona fide, national pastime.

With the NFL’s regular season fast approaching, there’s no time like the present to stock up on brand new tailgating gear, gadgets and gizmos. Be sure to visit National Tailgate to choose from the latest and greatest products. After all, you don’t want to be “that guy” or “that girl” who’s always mooching off of his or her neighbor.

National Tailgate offers up all the essentials, including prep must-haves like tables, tents, heaters and inverters…plus grills, games and even flat screen TV’s! The knowledgeable retailer also provides daily tips to help you get the most out of your tailgating experience.

And, don’t forget to sign up for exclusive email promotions to take advantage of money-saving offers to pimp your ride—tailgater style—for a fraction of the price.

See you at the game!

Uggh, you need new tires. We usually just kick 'em and see what happens. But then again, we live in Los Angeles,

where everyone rides with a AAA card, and an Iced Caramel Macchiato, but no jack, spare or knowledge of how to use either. Even if you can change a tire, eventually you’ll have to buy a new one, four, or even eight. Egads, Joe Mechanic says you need to replace them all? Pirellis, Goodyears, Michelins, oh my! Jeez, where to start? Buywheelstoday.com navigates over the hills and through the woods, saving a scare from the big, bad, tire wolf and his pack of deal-toting salesmen. Tread stylishly with their simple search windows. Finding new wheels and tires is as easy as sitting on the 405 freeway, at any time of day. Search by brand, make/model, or by size. That’s easy isn’t it? They even have a Nitrogen Inflation Service! A what? Oh yeah, we’re from Los Angeles, car driving, capital of the nation.

We established that soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Globally, that’s great. But how about bringing it all back home, USA style? Guess what the most popular American sport is?

Here’s a hint. Instead of balls, whistles and referees, it features high octane fuel burners, green, red, black, yellow, checkered flags, happy hours, lugnuts, Talladega nights, and athletes such as Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson. It’s certainly not badminton…that’s right, NASCAR! When was the last time 107,097 fans showed up for an NFL, NBA or MLB game as they did for the Chevy American Revolution 400? Claim the pole position with one turn at the wide variety of NASCAR licensed items at Racefanfurniture.com The Dale Jarrett UPS Chair or Nextel Cup NASCAR Beanbag chair may provide some relief when your donut spinning head overheats. Ladies and Gentleman…start your engines.
