Talking Nos

I was unsure of where to post this, so I posted it here in addition to Ford vs. the competion. Feel free to delete it if I have done wrong.

I am 20 and have to deal with these little punks on a daily basis...
How many of you are sick of the import guys and "NOS?" No matter what brand of nitrous oxide they use, they refer to it as "NOS." I always find myself reminding them that NOS is nitrous Oxide Systems. Another popular is nitrous Works, a subsidary of Holley.

NOS is just the name of the company, it doesn't mean anything.

I like all the kids that think you can just slap on a bottle and call it good.

That is what I am saying! Why is it so hard for them to realize that NOS is not a generic name?

It doesn't do much to complain here, I think its kinda silly. I don't care if a BDS is more expensive, at least its not a cheater bottle.

nos is for cheaters...people whose motors cant make enough horsepower on its own.

yesterday i was watching horsepower tv and they had a rice burner on there and normally i woulda changed the channel but nothing else was on. well they were putting a nitrous system on the car and they ran it on a dyno and the car still put out less horsepower with the nos than my truck does stock.
