With Aimee LoDuca's concept Manvan, tailgating is revolutionized to include space considerations. No longer are you forced to wake up at the crack of dawn to stake your claim to prime spaces of the parking lot. Instead, pull up the Manvan at your leisure into a regular single parking spot and extend its rear cab to reveal a host of customizable tailgating essentials.
The Manvan is inspired by the Nissan NV200. Among its customizable tailgating features are a big screen television, gaming gear and a refrigerator. Although you can head to LoDuca's website to build your Manvan and start dreaming, let's hope this big boy gets out of the concept stage sooner rather than later.
