I was once asked by a girl if I had any go-go juice.. of course those weren't her words, I believe she said "NOS!!!!!??????". The question was asked while we were going 16 miles an hour... because she heard the TBS whistle, and it sounded like what the cars in Fast in the Furious sounded like when they used nitrous.

What completes the story, we were with her boyfriend, who had a very well built EC 305, and knew his stuff... We both started laughing long and hard about how I had nitrous and that I was emptying my bottle coming out of the driveway of the college, all without hitting 20MPH
