Blown Up Max

I'm not sure whether this has been on here yet as I haven't been here in a while, if so ignore the photo, if not this appears to be a 3rd gen that has been blown up due to the NOS bottle in the trunk.

i dunno if that was an exploded nitrous bottle. looks to me like someone in the back seat took a monsterous fart.

How would it blow up?? What would cause a nitrous bottle to blow up? I could see the engine blowing up, but the bottle itself?? Poor install... ????

im pretty sure he said that he left the bottle heater on all night. it was 2 years ago when i read it, so i could be wrong.

Yep,
On his site, he said left the warmer on (bumped the switch by accident) and then went inside to take a nap. A few hours later - Kaboom!

He had posted info on the 3rd Gen BBS. When people started asking questions about how he set it up, etc, he started flaming everyone real bad.

I think the funniest remark about him was "he was a real pickle smoker!"
