    Dont Say NOS...Its Nitrous Oxide !!!!!

    Common guys...who cares IMHO!

    I have been calling it NOS since I was like 13 years old. WAY before The Fast and The Furious came out....WAY WAY WAY before 2F2F.

    Its also easier to type NOS than it is to type out Nitrous Oxide!

    Anyone who calls it NOS is ok in my books....I'm not going to think your uncool if you call it NOS!

    In fact....I will think your uncool if you tell someone to write out Nitrous Oxide. Cause if you do that you TRYING to be cool....which is WAY less cool than just being a regular cool guy!

    SO...for all its worth.....NOS is what I'm gonna call it!

    my two cents!


    Oh yeah....I put this in Technical because IMO its a technicality!

    N2O or nitrious oxide is the techinal name, but what every you call (NOS, N2O, Nawz) it is ok as long as people know what your talking about.

    IMO nos is overrated, zex has a much better system. and if in the fast and the furious they would yell "ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!, then that would be what everyone would call it, IMO most people who call it nos dont know what they are talking about. but it dont really bug me, its jus like calling a tissue a kleenex, its just and overrated popular name.

    Is it really that hard to type the extra letters and be CORRECT and say NITROUS?!?! Just say it the right way, but if you're a real lazy bastard just say N2O. Just as long as nos but sounds alot better and you don't look like a third grader that has no idea what they are talking about.

    I would like to just call it Laughing Gas... it's essentially the same stuff... but the stuff at the dentist is safer for humans than the Nitrous Oxide you run on your car.

    Yeah I use "Nitrous" from time to time......It caught on when I was watching "Ronin"

    oh yeah for sure.........when I was younger....like....16 I did some nitrous with a buddy of mine but it was dirty gas....like....for a car...anyway......45 mins of purging my gutt later I decided never to do that again! Good thing too...I would never have been able to buy my car if I had spent all my money on drugs!

    My car is WAY more fun than any drugs..

    oooooooooo. big fucking deal. i told them the correct way to say, whats YOUR fucking problem with that?

    Does this get me a point? i think nitrous oxide should be called nitrous oxide because nitrous oxide is nitrous oxide. more than one company makes nitrous oxide and they call it nitrous oxide, because it is called nitrous oxide. there is a company called holley who makes nitrous oxide, they call it NOS, which stands for nitrous oxide system, so even they call it nitrous oxide because nitrous oxide is what nitrous oxide should be called. and if your too lazy too type nitrous oxide maybe you need some nitrous oxide to get ur ass going and then you can call nitrous oxide, nitrous oxide, because it is nitrous oxide! so how cool am i now, am as cool as NOS, or do i suck like nitrous oxide???

    you're joking right? Dont let the pretty purple bottle distract you from the poor quality of the system. Even N.O.S. brand is better then Zex.

    what i want to know is
    WHO GIVES A FLYING PHUCK. ya'll who are being worrying about who says nos/nitrous are just being nit picky. Everybody knows what you're talking about when you say NOS. Let it go already. If you prefer to say NOS then ok, but dont be suprised if people ask you if you're referring to the brand or just generalizing. As for me, i'll just call it n2o (with the letter, not the number)
