Anyway, I was in the middle of a street race across the Golden Gate Bridge and I flipped the switch for the 3rd stage of NOS, and the engine blew sending shards of downpipe fluid all over the road. The neon tubes all blew and I actually got poisoning from neon gas inhalation. So the moral of the story is that unless you are running JDM neon tubes, you should be pretty safe in the event of a catastrophic engine failure.
Epic...f-ing epic man.
