heh, that is pretty lame. I would've thought NOS would want to capitalize on the frequent (and pathetic) use of their name in the movie. lease:

I'm pretty sure NX is sponsoring the movie this time instead of NOS and thats why NX has released the F&F series stuff.

That already happened after the first one. And in reply to worring about kids getting nitrous and getting into accidents, Im reminded of an article I read in a magazine, (either Sport Compact Car, or Super Street). It was one of the first tests of the new EVO, and the driver/writer said something along the lines of he could "see some little Fast and the Furious kid getting one of these, and there being a whole lot of problems."

Nitrous is legal but if you get pulled over and you have the bottle open then its illegal. Just cant have the bottle open when driving on public streets.

stupid is when daily-driver cars get picked on like they were sport cars. stupid is when people for whatever reason disrespect other people's properties instead of confronting the person they have a problem with.

speaking of ricers and products for them, i caught high-rev tuners on speed channel last night and the ads they play on that show are geared for ricers.

one in particular is by pep boys, and its this dude with a red RSX talking about how he bought all his stuff (rice) from pep boys. hes like, i got rims, aluminum wing, apc euro tails...blah blah NX kit....HAHAHAHAHA i couldnt stop laughing....but at the same time i wanted to cry. im gonna try to find that commercial.

What are they going to have next, a Fast and the Furious TV Series. Maybe even a show teaching everyone how to make their car look like it belongs in the movie.

i think it depends on where you are in the country as to weather n02 is illegal or not, or the rules that apply.
and what about the remote bottle opener?
