Bahahahaha....let them pass the bill. I can't wait to ask an official how
the Nitrous GAS is being used as a FUEL ADDITIVE when it's not being added
to the fuel...let alone in the fuel tank.
I know...the "Fuel" they're referring to might be considered as the
Air/Fuel mixture...but what about adding an air charge instead of Nitrous
Oxide...wonder if they'll come up with a law about that as well. Bye bye
Superchargers.
Totally ridiculous...but remember, there's another bill being introduced as
well to outlaw a man from being aroused in public.
Using my Nitrous and will continue to use it...it's my truck, it's my
money, and it's my right.
