Default Funny story... well sorta...

So i decided to drive my car around and get the dust off of it. It was a nice day out, not a cloud in the sky...

I pull up to a stop light... Next thing i know BOOM!!!!! My ears are ringing, Im a little confused, and i believe i just shit my pants... So at this point i probably look like a retard because im flailing around in my car trying to figure out WTF just happened... No bullet holes... No one hit my car... Im thinking maybe it was some kind of HORRIBLE back fire... But the car is running fine and no lights are on...

I snap out of it and realize that im being honked at...(light had turned green) So i take off and im still a bit confused. I noticed my Nitrous pressure gauge is flashing and beeping at me...Thats weird... Any who.. I drive to my moms place (it was a few blocks away) get out of the car and start looking around the car and trying to figure out what the ultra super loud BOOM was from. I go to check my nitrous tank and notice little bits of plastic EVERYWHERE... stuck to the head liner, the back of the seats, in the trunk compartment, all over. I realized that my nitrous pressure sending unit (for my gauges) had just blown up... WTF!

The End...


Anyone ever had this happen to them?

When I called the company to get a new sending unit, they acted like it was no big deal. They guy told me "We are aware of this issue, we will have you one in the mail asap".
Oh well... No harm no foul... I got the part replaced for free and im not injured or worse...
