Thumbs up

I have a small one in a quick release holder above my head on the strip between the t-tops......they are always a good idea....if you ever need one quick, you'll kick yourself for not having one at arms reach.

The first point is not to let it burn. But why put all kinds on money into your car, never buy an extinguisher, and just watch it burn to the ground. Always good to have one! If you get one at least get chrome colored one. I have one in every car in own. The camaros have them in the same spot.

Matt, if you want to get one that will actually be useful if you have a fire. Look at a 2.5lbs Halon 1211 extinguisher. They are not cheap but they will take down a fire quick and they leave absolutly no residue, so if you have a fire components won't be junk after like with a dry chem. I was buying them on Ebay from Kansas City fire equipment for under $100 shipped. They are usually $130+. Or Safe Craft has polished ones for alittle more money.

Whatever you do, dont mount it on one of your pillars. It looks stupid as hell.

I think he should mount it on the steering wheel. It would be the new rage.
