@EternalPonderer: Tailgating = you have a fast car, but not having a fast car != you tailgate.

Yeah I understand. A lot of people could not live here.

hey…i use to own a fast car and i still didn’t tailgate (expect in traffic cause no f*cker driving on a shoulder is gonna cut in in front of me!)

so i guess that makes me a wuss =(. But i admit…i can’t drive and i hate driving. LA traffic is horrible too! I could never live out there. you need a car to get anywhere but yet traffic sucks. In nyc, traffic still sucks, but at least you can get by w/o a car.

@pepin909: Interesting that despite the vast differences between two cities like Tampa and Los Angeles, we can find something that we all agree with…

@peroty: Haha great idea. Indeed, mellow music wouldn’t be the situation’s calling.

I think this needs a part 2.
Proper soundtracks for tailgating.
I think a good Henry Rollins, Killswitch Engage, or perhaps just something fast and thumpy make for excellent tailgating music.
It’s almost the weekend people. There’s nothing like a little tailgating with enough volume to deafen the screams of your vict….fellow drivers.

It’s all about drafting. The bigger the better…like trucks for example!

If the vehicle in front of you is one of those SUVs or minivans with a built in DVD entertainment system, tailgating is also a good way to make sure they aren’t using it to watch pornography. Those perverts.

(That, or, I guess you could watch along in the modern-day equivalent to watching a drive-in theatre movie from outside the lot. Take your pick.)

Strange, those reasons actually DISCOURAGE me from tailgating. Sorry.

@lonomatjin: Actually, I saw BRMC at The Wiltern and The Fratellis were supposed to open for them but they cancelled! They claimed exhaustion from Coachella…whatever that means. I heard they played a couple shows after Coachella and got “exhausted” after that…

@twolims: Glad to hear it.
