Default Everyone, please, it is called "nitrous", not "NOS"

I am getting tired of people calling nitrous "NOS" on this board. Repeat after me "NOS is a brand name. Nitrous is what we use."

I like this board too much to see this rice-boy Fast and the Furious crap spreading around here. Go to LS1.com or the idiot f-body page if you like calling nitrous by a brand name.

Remember, "Gotta have nawzzzzzz, errr, nausea if I hear that again." <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Yeah no crap. People always say to me "whoa you've got NOS" and I say "uh no, I have nitrous from Nitrous Express". Its really anoying but it does help you separate the people that know what they're talking about from the people that are just pretending they know. That way you dont waste your time. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> NOS

I use those expressions all the time...usually for sarcastic reasons.

I have the nitrogen push system in my car and the nitrogen bottle has a big Flowmaster sticker I just threw on it. Next to it was my big 15lb NOS(the brand) bottle. One little ricer kid looked in my car and saw both of these...he said "Damn! hes got Naaawsss AND a Flowmaster back there!"
My brain hurt after that one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Man I am with all you guys I hate those **** that call it NOS or NAWWWWWSSSSS. I always try to correct people and tell them NOS is just a brand of nitrous. They will never learn.

I was in my friends car, and we got pulled over... heads/cam 306 foxbody..

Tach, and other gauges inside the car.

The cop, after writing a ticket, and being a jerk (i dont hate cops, but this guy was not nice)

The other cop came to MY SIDE OF THE CAR (passenger) and asked what the switches were for (fan switch, and amp switch) he was like "you got nos on this car"

I almost laughed in his face, and was like 'whats nos' but i didnt. Driver was like "NO, its fast all motor"

I just call it N-two-Oh and if they don't know what it means then I try to educate them.

Funny thing is that a lot of knowledgable people call nitrous "nos", its just easier to say. It's just like xerox, kleenex, or band-aid; people use the brand name to describe a general product. It may **** us off but it's just gonna happen.
