Teh winnar!

Man, the least someone could do is figure out how to hook up the bottle warmer to a switched power lead. Nitrous bottles need to have a burst disc setup or something, that's just horrible. Ug.

Just goes to show what an intert gas (nitrogen) can do with an oxidizer (oxygen) and some starter heat. That's how rockets are made, even today. cf: Cape Canaveral, Pennemunde, etc.

Doesn't matter: that car (and garage, too) is a goner. That's another reason why I have gasoline only in my cars: even the weed whacker is electric. I wonder what the owner told his insurance company? And what they replied? Guess we'll never know.

Nitrous is for those people who call themselves car tuners, but decide to go watch the Fast and The Furious instead.
