Did any of you catch the episode of Monster Garage Saturday night? Basically, they built the ultimate tailgate vehicle. I couldn't believe they built an on board beer keg and it had a 17" flat screen TV that popped up in the trunk when opened. It's even got an X-Box and propaine grill for food! Can you believe those rims? Their 26's!
