List your N20 stereotype.
"There are two different types of people that use nitrous, those who have blown up a motor, and those that will."
that stuff will make you spin a rod" (i have never seen a rod spin, i have seen them exit the bottom of the oil pan tho

I prefer the no answer, just the look that states "Only a dumbass would say that..." I've been using nitrous for 20 years, and you'll find LOTS of it around serious racers at serious race tracks. Not until RICERS came along did people start looking at it negatively. One more thing that makes me hate ricers....

I've always heard negatives long before the ricers came about (I'm 35). I to had the same ignorant opinion about nitrous throughout the late 80's and 90's. Always considered it pu$$y juice for a poorly made engine. But after I finally started doing some research into it and educating myself, I found light through the tunnel of my ignorance. I now am on the other side of the coin and get told all the time "your going to blow that thing up". Then I try to educate them as much as possible. If that doesn't work I just give them a ride...

first person to give me the fast and furious speech was my girlfriend. i put the **** on took it for a test...made sure it was working perfectly, topped off the bottle, turned it on picked her up, told her to "buckle up, shut up, grab onto something, and enjoy the ride..." and i threw a package of peanuts at her. took off na in first, dropped into second, let the WOT switch under the hood do its thang, took off screaming and i thought i was gonna have to wash my seats...cargasm my friends. needless to say i think she talks more **** about my car to other people than i do. i go for the "its stock" method considering its mostly petty ricers and a few bullitt stangs.
when someone gives me the "you will blow up" speech or "its cheating" i tell them, im giving my car what she wants, better air, and "chances are if a moron like you used it yes it would blow something up" its all about the driver knowing the system and knowing the car.
gotta luv that giggle gas

actually i have to make a confesion. i use to also be a hugh disbeliver in useing nitrous. i was always hard core for running a car NA and considered "spraying is cheating". since then i noiticed that about 80%+ of the people around here were "on the juice". then one day, i got pissed and installed a 150 power shot on my car to prove a point and didn't tell anyone. that night, the point was proven and i became a "nitrous junky". since then i have had many kits and stongly recamend everyone to "install the nutz" to there cars if they want to win. know it is just a fact of life that you need a power adder to keep up.

I like the guys that say to me, "What kind of NOS do you have?" I simply reply that I don't have ANY nos. "What do you mean, you have the bottle sitting between your seats." Oh that, that is my NITROUS bottle. "Yeah what I said, NOS" **A quick conversation takes place enlightening the ignorant about nitrous companies and what NOS stands for. After that, they generally realize that they are complete and utter morons.
Oh well, I guess I should buy stock in Pennzoil 
n20 gets a bad rap b/c of idiots..........for example where i live a guys valve was froze on his bottle(ricer).....so he figured he'd get out the ole' torch and warm it up.....his obituary was in the paper the next day!
