and i am not saying it is mad dangerous...i am only refuting those talking up how safe it is and how it doesn't kill. well, it usually is safe BUT it has killed...more than once. it has also been implicated in several traffic accidents (kids loading up at stop lights!) in the tucson area over the years.
Cool....thanks for clearing that up.
I read about the gas coming out ice-cold in that link earlier....
...I wouldn't mind trying Nitrous....never really thought about doing gas before...

lol might get some whipped cream on the weekend...lol
