Ehhhh..... if you read the page this guy did some really stupid **** to cause this to happen. Pretty much massive violations of pressure vessle handling guidlines in ANYBODY'S book. I'd say he deserved a shredded car and hole in his garage just for endangering others in such an idiotic way.

makes for a helluva car bomb don't it boys? I always thought that **** was for people that really know what the hell they were doing anyway.
Even if they build a quick motor as soon as everybody sees the NOS it detracts on how everyone views it.
Glad no one was hurt.

I've had a similar thing happen to me. Was taking a car for a drive with my old mechanic and he forgot to turn off the heater. I was standing next to the car and the next thing i hear is this loud noise like an aiplane taking off. Luckily it was just the nitrous line itself that got bursted up in one spot.

Afterthought: Nitrous...can't live with it, can't live with out it.
