Carne asada burritos.

That's what I miss the most about San Diego. They would make them up with the guacamole. They would be so big you would have to use two hands to hold on to them. omg. we'd go down to "Alaberto's" for a study break. sooo good.

:drool:
 
That's it! I'm out to lunch! I can't take it no more!:drool: I got a couple of columbian resturants across the street.
 
Colombian, not Columbian. I could really go for a few empanadas right now. Only 2 weeks and I'll be eating empanadas, tortillas, arroz con pollo, carne frita, man I'm really getting hungry now!!!

this topic came up in the past. i know it did. can't find it. the general census was that the smell wasn't that big of a deal. O'donell has a sort of funk to it. i'm getting used to it. i think after a while, you could start to like it.

has anyone accidently tasted O'donell? i don't know how i've managed it but a handful of times, I've had this sweet taste on my lips (from the oil on my hands?) . maybe it's just me but a chemical that could make you blind shouldn't taste sweet.

I got I nice squirt directly to the eye when I had the carb off and I pulled the pullstart :rolleyes:
 
Man, I go get lunch and come back to folks talking about sweet tastes in their mouthes and squirts in the eye. Did I accindentilly logon to a "nude nitros" room ? Anyone got a price on the scented stuff ?
 
What's this Nirto Scent poop? If you want to scent something, buy it and dump it in your sneakers. Or then gain, it could be for the flowerd pink panzie races :shrug:
Fuel is fuel, flowers and stuff like that are just carzy for nitro fuel. Who's dumb idea was that?
 
i bet oval queen's t-maxx expells flower secented exhaust.

in anycase, i'm sure the gas she expells doesn't smell like flowers
 
Hey guys, I think the reason I'm whooping you is because I'm running Trinity 25% with a hint of grape :p:
 
I sitting here just trying figure why anyone would even consider buying a scent for R/C nitro fuel? Somehow, this has absolutely not usefull purpose whatsoever. It is completely illogical and a complete waste of money.
8-0 !!!! I figured the only good use for it! Hobbytown's indoor engine testing! Othrewise, none that I can think of.

I wonder if it smell like grapes through the exhaust??? Maybe a little Piña Colada smelling exhaust. Hmmm....


Yes it does, and it is really anoying. I ran once with some guys that had that poop in their fuel, and it smelled like a whorehouse, but remotely controlled and no whores. It made the whole track area smell like grapes. Thick heavy humid grapes rammed up your nose and pinched for good measure. I thought I was gonna crap a grape or two before I left the track. I smelled that crap for about 2 days after that. Nitro is nitro, love it or leave it alone. If you don't like the smell of methanol and nitro, wear a friggin gas mask (no offense Darth, gas masks are cool) and let those of us that do like the smell, smell nitro, not grapes, or cocconut, or whatever. poop' if you're gonna put a scent agent in the fuel, make it female pee pee flavor scent. Damn.

And to really get the competition off their game, why not dose up the fuel with rotten ass scent, like the ones my dog busts out. I can't smell anything much anymore, so it won't bother me.

Don't ask me where I stand on fruity nitro scents. (See sig.) Actually, I'm thinking of changing it to "I think nitro smells better than your girlfriend."

I can only surmise that they invented this so wives would let their significant others run their nitros in the house.
 
Get rich quick.
I'm going to open a Nitro Scent Bar Franchise.
Kind of like a Mobile Capacheno Wagon.

Setup at your local track and sell scented nitro by the shot. That along with colorful fuzzy steering wheel covers for you TX and decorative flags for your antenna.

Any investors?
 
I did a break in tank on my HPI RS4 3 in my closet at 2 am when I was a newbie. I've ran my car inside my house on more then three occasions. It's the funniest way to lower your IQ. :dance:
 
So that's why ur the way u are! That explains it!:)
