​Fuel Forged Wheels and Tailgaters

30th Mar 2017

Fuel Forged Wheels and TailgatersWhenever you cram thousands and thousands of people into a small, concentrated area, you are bound to find broad diversity. The same thing holds true in tailgating. Most tailgaters hang out with like-minded people and do their own thing without drawing any attention to themselves, unfortunately, they are the minority. Most tailgaters are anything but quiet and well-mannered. OK, it just might seem like most tailgaters are annoying tools because they are the ones that stand out.

Look, if you want to be a classy tailgater, it all starts with your truck. If you drive a truck that is dirty, unkempt and rolling with factory wheels, chances are you will be stereotyped as an annoying tailgater. So take some pride in your ride and before you throw a tailgate party, clean up your truck and buy a set of custom wheels. A nice set of Hostile wheels, Toxic wheels or Fuel Forged wheels will do.

Anyway, when talking about tailgaters, there are several types, some good, some bad and some who you want to, well, some who just really annoy you. Here are a few types of tailgaters.

The Chef

No pregame tailgate activity is complete without food, lots of food. And for those who watch too many shows on the Cooking Network and think they have skills, a tailgating party is the perfect stage to showcase their talents.

Since tailgating occurs outdoors, these game-day chefs are well-versed in the art of smoking and grilling. The two things any good cook needs to succeed are quality food and a decent grill or smoker. Throwing an Oscar Meyer hot dog on a hot plate will just not cut it.

Even for the most skilled grillmaster, cooking in front of a crowd can be a distraction. Stay focused or your famous behind-the-back burger flip will result in disaster.

The Unprepared Dude

This is the type of tailgater you don't want to be parked next to you. This is the guy who tries to light his grill, but realizes he forgot to bring matches or a lighter. He will inevitably borrow yours and not return it.

When his burgers and dogs are grilled, he will realize he forgot to bring condiments. Say goodbye to your ketchup and mustard.

He will ask if you have extra space in your cooler because he forgot to bring ice and his beer is getting warm.

Finally, he will ask if you have a spare ticket you can sell him because he left his at home.

The Bro

You can spot “the bro” right away because he is wearing a visor in any direction but the right one and he refers to any male as “bro.” The bro loves doing shots of Jager and doesn't understand why everybody doesn't want to take a shot when he does. “Bro, why don't you want to do another shot?”

Bro guy will also try to hit on your girlfriend, wife, sister, mother or grandmother. He might even float a wink at you after a few shots of Jager.

The Drunk

The drunk started drinking the night before the tailgate party and can barely stand when the festivities begin. He will puke by 10 a.m., and either pass out before game time or get arrested.

The Uber Fan

The uber fan, or face painter as he is also known, is the die hard fan who doesn't leave an inch of his body free from his team’s colors. That’s right, not even an inch, anywhere.

His wallet is embroidered with his team’s logo, his underwear sports his team's logo and the filling in his molar is etched with his team’s logo; he is the ultimate fan.

The Minivan Guy

Minivan guy is a sad story indeed. You see, he will tell you that he was headed to certain football stardom until his unfortunate injury. He has to yell a lot in order for others to hear his pitiful story above his screaming, reckless kids.

Minivan guy is called minivan guy because he owns a minivan and not a truck. He will tell you he was going to buy a truck, but buying a minivan was a wise investment that is certain to pay handsomely down the road. In fact, he will tell you how his Walmart brand grill is better than your Weber, why his stock wheels are cooler than your Fuel wheels and why his wife is better looking than your hot girlfriend.

Yeah, he really is that annoying.

The Dude

The dude, like, just lounges in his hammock enjoying an adult beverage and the cool breeze. He heats up his tempeh burger in an iron cast pan over a small fire pit he constructed from rocks he found in the field next to the parking lot.

He isn't sure what teams are playing, and he avoids bro dude because he would just “harsh his buzz.”
