Are you serious? You need to go back to '92 if you are. Want some Prime 3 spoke wheels to go with that look? How about an LED exhaust tip?

you'll need one as soon as people start reading this thread...

I don't know why you would want that in your car. If it's necessary, take it back to the shop

Hey, never underestimate the value of an in-car fire extinguisher. You never know when you will be driving along the freeway and you see another car on fire. Fire extinguisher + hero = face time on the 9 o'clock news.

Well, I know a few tracks in california require you to have a fire extinguisher mounted somewhere in your vehicle that is within reach, even in lower classes. As far as where to put it goes, i really have no clue.

Especially if you go to the track its good to carry one.. or if you think your will be exposed to fire hazard (lol i can think any situation like that).. by the way does insurance cover the mods you have?

no, you have to add it on to your insurance. I believe they ask you the amount or things you have added onto the car for coverage? Of course the price goes up aswell.

I have one in my car. I have been in several shows that gave added points for one as safety equipment. Another reason to have one was in a ScionLife post: Tc on Fire!......Literally It was posted 09/18/06 6;16pm......... That is a good reason to have one........

Only if you include them in your policy I think. I remember there being a guy who got into an accident, and I think the Insurence company replaced his rims cuz they were on his policy but not his intake because it wasn't on the policy. Or something like that I don't remember.

I bet this guy would have liked to have a fire extinguisher that day. If nothing else to help someone else if they need it, that's why I was thinking about getting one (but in the trunk).

Why where those bad, cause the Ford Pinto exploded if you tapped it right.

I live in LA and I don't see why I would need one. Maybe you see burning cars all the time but I don't.

Wait, I get it, you need the fire extinguisher to hit people over the head if they try to jack your car?
