Brisk, you're 2 for 2, bud...got me LOL twice in one thread! Thanks!
My '73 Mach 1 went up in flames back in '86...electrical fire. I think the voltage regulator hung up. I was driving it at the time, during the day - the dash lights came on super bright, radio went crazy, then it all died. Got the car stopped in a turning lane stop light when molten plastic began dripping from underneath the dash onto the carpet and started it on fire, then flames came through the defroster vents. Cars lined up behind me waiting to turn, honking their horns, totally unaware of what was happening. I jumped out and opened the hood and the battery lead had melted the casing off and was glowing red. Meanwhile the interior was becoming fully engulfed in flames. Helpless is so true...It was a sad day. Totaled by the insurance co, the interior totally gutted, roof warped in a major way, side mirrors melted down the doors, all the glass broken by the heat or the fire dept, etc. Sickening in the end.John98-4v said:It is a good investment. My 90GT caught fire (engine compartment), I was 2 blocks from my house at a stop sign when I saw the paint rising from my hood. It's a helpless feeling watching your car in flames. Luckily a man walking down the street saw me and told me to go behind his house, and get the extinguisher. I have seen decent ones at summit, I am going to buy one and mount it on the hump as mentioned before.

The best extinguisher to get is a Halon one though, but they're prohibited by the EPA because they're an ozone depletion agent.
Anyone just plain carry?
