No, it really isn't illegal because of bottle explosions. Scuba cylinders come to mind as an example (though there are many kinds of cylinders carried around for various types of business). The cylinders one uses have to be DOT certified to be legally transported in a vehicle. All scuba cylinders are DOT certified. All NOS cylinders are DOT certified, too (cylinders are cylinders , regardless of what you put in them). If you don't believe me, go out and look at the neck of the tank. You should see a DOT number and a hydro inspection date from the manufacturer. The reason it's illegal is emissions, NOT cylinder explosions.

I was actually thinking about the incident where the gang of bikers with Uzis laced the car with bullets. Then Mr. I live my life a quarter mile at a time yells NoooooS and runs for cover just before the car goes up in flames.

That was funny how the exhaust manifold blew up according to the onboard Naaaawwws computer right after the floorboad fell out. Opening the hood revealed more smoke than a campfire and a blown car that needed tons of work. Then they ran from the cops just fine but Vin Dipsh!t's feet were on the floor no problem. Gayest movie ever!

Nitrous oxide supports combustion and can detonate at extremely high temperatures, but the DOT has classified it as a nonflammable gas. And I hope so...I'm a dentist. For more info:

Whenever I go the dentist they never crank the NAAAWWWS up enough. I have to crank it up to the safety redline when they aren't looking.

LOL...In dental school some of the oral surgery residents would throw nitrous parties. Fill up a bunch of balloons with it, roll out the kegs and chicks, and stir thoroughly.
