I’d get one but I have insurance on the car whenever it moves out of my driveway and the thought of collecting insurance money from the burned up car \> wasting $ on an extinguisher :lol

For the smaller non-totallable fires I may or may not encounter, my bottle of poland spring should work just fine.

I always roll with a fire extinguisher. Although I don’t think it would help a lot with a fire like what took out travis’ STI. My biggest fear is a fuel leak at 80psi+

Gay. Did they prove that the modifications caused the fire, or did they just say “oh the cars modded… we wont cover it”

I hope you have appraised value on that car then.

Anyone not willing to carry a fire extinguisher in a modified car is ignorant to their safety and more importantly the safety of their surroundings.
