I saw a similar story which involed a Taurus instead of an Olds as the by-standing casualty. Its pretty scary knowing there are so many people running around with that stuff in their trunk. And the whole "Fast and the Flatuous" thing didn't help either. Bottles are best left to babies.

Well if nos is anything like propane (which I serve at work) then it needs alot of care. Which people don't really care about I find. I think there should be some kind of screening to buy nos. But me as a person will never buy nos I belive to get power that you should use one fuel but that is just me.

^^N2O is a non-combustible gas, ie. it doesn't burn.
The power comes from the added oxygen and the cooling it offers to the incoming air charge.
I've seen the photos and that is just a sampling of them.
This part: Then they had TWO pressure release vents on - instead of one - which doubled the emergency release pressure" is wrong though. Unless piped in parallel (which would be dumb) it would not effect operation of either vent valve. The story the first time I read it blamed a single blowoff valve in the trunk.
