LOL, don't worry... I won't

There have been some classic jackasses on here. Wolvez was another one.

Just noticed this. Take a close look at the picture. . . . . . . . . . . . Notice the compressed gas tank under the right ladder? It's blue. That's nitrous without a capped valve and in a pile of trash. Nitrous as a gas doesn't breakdown to an oxidizer until around 550 degrees but as a compressed liquid it's about 150 degrees. A light bulb will set it off and it's under a light. This just gets better.

Missed the Skylar thing.

EDIT: BTW in case anyone wasn't aware, the final stages of Apollo and Gemini rockets were powered by a liquid NOS and paraffin mixture.

And if he didn't get the answers he wanted, he would reword the question or create a new username and ask it again. After getting the same answers (that he didn't want) over and over again, WE were the idiots. It was just like dealing with a 5 year old kid.

"You guys are idiots, I'm going to ask my Dad" - Also Skylar

Unfortunately I know exactly what you're getting at. There recently was a question about traction bars and the OP's main concern was how easy they will install. lol Someone suggested some bars that bolt on at both ends so there isn't any spring wrap. Whatever that is but I assume he meant axle wrap. But more troubling was the, they bolt down on both ends. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that if you're on 1/8 or 1/4 mile tracks with 2,500 hp and a Jerico or Rossler 2 speed transmission and need to cancel torque all the way down the track but in an F150? It's just saying, "How can I spend money to make my truck slower?"

You can't help some people and they'll never listen so it's not worth trying. It's actual work to figure out what will work best and why would anyone buy traction bars? It's not like they're complicated to make yourself. Does this sound like S****r?
