You think I'm gonna read something that long, you're crazy.

bwahaha, you should read it. its hella funny

[ithats kinda funny. BTW nos is the name of the company, that was one thing that annoyed me in fast and the furious, that they called it nos and not nitrous oxide. [/i]

obviously you know nothing about american society. a lot of people use brands to describe a whole host of things.

someone says give me a "coke" they dont always mean coca cola.

someone says i'm wearing my "levis", they don't always mean levi's.

other examples "skilsaw" "Crescent Wrench" "ViseGrips"

man the list goes on and on.

calling something by the name of the company that delivers it or the first company that made it or the most famous company that makes it is COMMON in the US.

oh, mb you didn't grow up in the US.

That script synopsis sounds like a version of The Outsiders but with a modern street racing setting rather than the 1950's greaser setting. The Outsiders was a much better book and movie than F&F. Too bad Hollywood isn't interested in producing quility stuff like this anymore.

Ok, on the whole NOS issue: N.O.S. is a company, Nitrous Oxide Systems. Yes, some people refer to Nitrous Oxide in general as NOS, after seeing this movie. But simply NOS is a company.

People called the general Nitrous Oxide NOS long before they saw this movie

 

[Platypus]

Ahem...

 

[Sepen]

ROTFLMAO, just saw this, what 40 days old or so...too funny.

 

[murphy55d]

This was a lame movie. zzzzzzzz

 

[jjones]

<< The Fast and the Furious was a ridiculous waste of time and film. No plot, terrible acting, lousy writing and a bunch of tin-can ricemobiles masquerading as muscle cars. There was one REAL car in the entire movie, and the moron writers destroyed it. What a friggin' joke. >>


what he said.

 

[Lithium381]

hahahahahahahahaha, um, i thought they were all real cars......cuz in Pearl Harbor, most of them were CG......i think only 6 of them were real in the entire thing!

 

[454Casull]

<< nos is also a nickname for nitrous oxide, used for instances other than street racing >>


Quite inappropriately, I might add. Well, I guess it's becoming like Kleenex or Coke...

 

[Balthazar]

That is quite possibly the lamest thing I have read all day....

 

[LuDaCriS66]

ginas are the hottest....

ginos and ginas are a predominantly teenager clique thing up here in Toronto... riced up cars and stuff..

well..if you would pull your head out your ass....

Hey... this is the thread that pyonir got annoyed with me.

Of all the threads to bring back, you had to pick the one that made me look like a flamebait artist.

What's the point of racing if everybody has NOS? That's one thing I don't understand about the movie. No, it's not rhetorical... I would really like an answer to this.

 

[SinNisTeR]

dude.. i got NAWWWWWWWWSS

 

[KokomoGST]

<< dude.. i got NAWWWWWWWWSS >>

LOL
d00dz, listen to my blow-off valve make crappy@$$ rattling sounds! Oh crap... wait, I have a Honduh... we don't have turbos!
My car has a body kit, it must be fast!!!

People may have been calling it NOS before the movie came out, but ricers existed before the movie came out. After the movie, they (the "import scene") were just glorified. Drag racers have called it "nitrous" for so long, that they even class cars that way. Car enthusiasts and ricers aren't one in the same.

BTW, nitrous obviously doesn't work the way they show in the movie... there are remote boost switches for turbo boost controllers and nitrous ARMING switches as well... there are multi-stage nitrous systems in real life. But of course, if you blow up your car with too much nitrous, it's not going to run...

Anyone else notice their "10 second" runs down a "1/4" mile too a bit too long??
