The weather is warming up, spring and summer sports are in full swing, and outdoor summer concerts are right around the corner. It's time to head on out, warm up the grill, and tailgate. What car should you bring?

The Pontiac Aztek isn't know for being the most excellent car in the world. But for a tailgate, you can't really go wrong with the Aztek. You can fit a grill and food in the back. The rear center console doubled as a removable cooler. It had rear controls in the trunk for the stereo. And you could get a camping pack to attach a tent and an inflatable mattress.

It really was perfect for an all day/night tailgate. How Bonnaroo isn't littered with Azteks, we'll never know.
