"So he's got, like, NOS and everything"

So last night on my way home, I stopped at blockbuster to rent a movie. I parked next to a del sol with a big friggin aluminum wing and an unpainted body kit. I rolled my eyes as I walked past it, and into the store.

After selecting my movie, I got in line and was behind a younger guy and his assumed girlfriend. I'm not really paying attention to what they are saying until I hear the guy go

"Yeah, he's got like, NOS for it now and everything"
Her: What's NOSSSS?
Him: Oh man, you don't wanna mess with a car with NOS.
Her: Oh, it makes it fast?
Him: Yea, remember fast and furious? All those cars had NOS.
Her: Oh wow.

Me: pardon me for over hearing, but you do realize NOS is a company and not the actual modification itself? Nitrous is what you use, and NOS is a company.
Him: Huh?
Me: I'm just tellin you that NOS is a company. And no, not all cars with NITROUS (doing the doctor Evil "quote" thing) are going to be very fast.
Him: Well I got NOS, and I can beat vettes. (right pal, if your girl didn't even know what Nitrous was, I doubt you have it on your car)

Me: Ok, that's great.

So the conversation stops here, until we end up outside. Lo and behold, he's driving the Aluminum Wing with a car attached to it.
Me: Nice wing.
Him: Yeah, it's called downforce. (what the... is that every ricer's response every time someone makes fun of their wing?)
Me: (now unlocking my car) Hey, if you think so.
Him: Well I'll whip your civic's butt easily.
Me: If you want to play, I insist on using my summer car, and not the trusty daily driver.
Him: (again the lost child look) Huh?
Me: Honda S2000. I'd much rather whup your "vette-beating NAAWWWSSSSS using ***" with my S2000.
Him: Whateva.

Then I swear he flashes some homey g thug sign or somethin and gets in and drives off. I've seen his car around before, so I'll be "del sol" hunting in spring.





Idiot.

I can't believe people are that ignorant about cars...
....no I take that back, I do believe people are ignorant, but I've only met one person who really pissed me off because she thought that Dodge Darts did not ever come with the slant-six, and she told me she was building one with a V8..... and then she insulted my Civic right after I bought it because its a "tiny 4 banger you have to rev it to 6 grand to pull it out of a parking space".... then I insulted her DAEWOO and she got really embarassed......
...b*tch

Man oh man... I had almost the SAME conversation today at the STL Int'l Auto Show. Its one of those deals where all the auto makers show what they've got, not a private one. We were looking at this Protege5 that was all done up. It was a Mazda show car, I guess they've got some sort of deal with Kenwood, Racing Hart, and a few other brands.

I was looking inside the car (roped off)

Him to his friend: "Dude, I wonder where the NOS button is."
Me: "This car doesn't even have NOS on it."
Him: "Are you stupid man? Its right there!"
Me: "Um, thats nitrous oxide. NOS is a brand. Like NEX or VENOM."
Him: "Yeah, well its not like you'll ever drive a car with three twelves in the back and a twin turbo."
Me: "Dude, those are eights and its a single turbo. Do you even have a liscense." (he was a good five years older than me and I'm 17)
Him: "Man. F*** you."

Then there was a Hummer in the back of the show, with the intake popping out of the hood... it was another idiot talking, but this time he was at least 45 years old.

Him: "Hey, Eddie, you can drive this truck in water the exhaust is coming out of the hood. I bet its even four wheel drive."
Me: "How much money do ya think Hummer would make if we got everyone here that didn't know jack about cars to buy an H2?"

Genius.

Dont they make hummers with the engine in a "box" and the intake pipe goes above the roof, in that you are able to drive it half way into the water?

I take it back, its called a "snorkle" i guess it just prevents from hydrolocking(vaporlocking?)....

Not exactly.... When you say you got an intake and exhaust on your car, you don't go "man, I got AEM and Greddy in my car.. my shiz is fast, yo!"

No, you don't. So why would you say "man I got NOS in my car?" You have nitrous, not NOS. See? That's why NOS isn't a modification, it's a company.

My only point was that the pipe he saw was not an exhaust pipe, but an intake. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the military ones had extentions for the intake that took it above the roof. But this one was sticking out of the hood about four inches.

Do you always have to flaunt around that you have an S2000. "I'll get my S2000 and beat your Del Sol." Jeezus Christmas, who the hell cares. Of course your S2000 will "beat" a Del Sol. And going around "looking" for a particlaur car to race must mean you have a very dismal existence.

What crawled up your butt? And I don't "flaunt" my S2000. I post no more about it than any other member posts about their car. And I post plenty of stories about my civic DX, but since you are apparently a troll, you wouldn't know that. I post stories whether I win or lose, regardless of what car I'm in or driving. Don't troll, just to act like you know what you're talking about.

There is a Del sol in the shop with a hydro wing it is the most rediculous looking wing i have ever seen. it sqeaks everytime it moves it needs some serious WD40! and to top it off he has the sticker motionless on it...So i make fun of him and tell him "no sh** it's motionless it's a Del Sol" the worst sticker of all he has is on the bumper. it reads "I KNOW I KNOW... Pull Over...
