This was in an email from a friend who lives in the high-desert of southern california.



Don't leave cans of refrigerant in your car when its 120 degrees outide (48.8 C). Only had 2 more weeks to go and I was selling car, I bet this will take some money off the price tag.

That looks incredibly harsh. Just be glad nobody was in the car!

Nitrous bottles should be significantly higher quality than those crappy refrigerant cans, I wouldn't worry about it.
