yea its a waste of money the only reason its better is that the molecules are larger and therefore wont leak out of a tire over time AS MUCH as air does. Good i guess if you wanna store your car over the winter or for long periods of time but the benefits are minuscule.

yeah, since they're flat anyway I dont have to worry about all the trash in the shoulder lane. I like that lane better, because theres no cars infront of me or behind me, and instead of cars on both sides, its cars on one side and a guard rail on the other.
The guard rail is basically the best way I can use cruise control on my car. I just tape down the accelerator, and tape the steering wheel so the front wheels point slighty toward the guard rail. Its great, I can just grind the rail until my exit

I just think shit up to make myself laugh. I do it all the time... my girlfriend now ignores me most of the time because its usually something stupid as hell that I make myself crack up at... as for comedy... I couldn't do stand up... IRL I'm generally shy and I'm a bad public speaker... Unless they let me perform drunk, that'd be pretty sweet.

isnt all air in the atmosphere 80% nitrogen anyway? So you're paying 4.50 a tire for that extra 20%...

I do not use it in my car tires however I am an Airline Mechanic and we are required to use nitrogen in our aircraft tires. It does not hold the moisture that shop air can produce.

The nitrogen has no moisture in it so that it does not corrode the rims or tires. It also holds a constant pressure, unlike air that expands when it gets warm. I am going to try it out in my bike's tires and see if it is worth the hype. I have even read that it can give you upto a 4% increase in fuel economy, that in itself would be worth $10 in my book if it is true.
