Default Most ignorant Nitrous comment!?

After seeing many thread of my friend says"...." and being so far off base with nitrous I figured we could get a good laugh at some of them.

I have heard plenty in a short time of having nitrous on my Probe and now on my truck. My favorite was after I beat a buddies civic with my Probe he mad plenty of excuses but the main one was "You put nitrous on a car with a stock exaust?" I have plenty more but I would like to see what you guys have heard.

Speaking of ignorant, that happens to be a question, not an excuse.

"You're already making 450hp with your engine alone, why add a 150 shot?"

I am sorry it was more along the line of "I can't belive you are using nitrous with a stock exaust." saying it was stupid and wouldn't work.

when i was first considering nitrous, i was told every time you spray it warps your engine internals "little by little until your pistons eventually melt."

at a performance shop where i was getting my bottle refilled, the tech purged the air out of the bottle just until nitrous vapor could be seen (shop was huge with something like 20ft ceiling). guy at the register says "anyone got a match?" then another guy breaks out a lighter and starts to try and light it. guy at the register RUNS out the back.

WOW this might win. Nitrous isn't a fuel. I am not 100% sure it won't burn by it's self but I am 99.9% sure it doesn't. So many people think nitrous is a "super fuel" when it isn't. It is nitrogen and oxygen. The who reason for running it is the oxygen! This was all at a shop that sells nitrous?
