RIDING IN STYLE
Charge it up and drive to the game on your motorized cooler scooter. That's right. For $379 plus about $44 shipping, you get a cooler holding 24 drink cans plus ice -- that you can drive. What's more excessive than that? Limit yourself to home games, though: the cooler goes 15 miles on a charge. And top speed is 13 miles an hour, so don't take it on the interstate.
