Did you ever listen to Cosby's 200MPH routine and his comment on the fire extinguisher?

You can use it to put out SOMEONE ELSE's car fire.

You can use it to put out someone else's house fire.

But if your car is on fire, are you really going to take the time to unstrap the extinguisher, go to both sides of the car (now belching smoke and flame) and unlatch it, and raise the hood (and get yourself burned) and then spray it?

... or ...

Are you simply going to run to safety and call 911?

Underhood systems can help, and halon is probably best, but a fire extinguisher mounted on the transmission tunnel is for show. I had one on mine. It was expired.
