All my cars carry extinguishers - even the Murano driven by SWMBO.
Z34 especially because I cannot go out on the track without it.
Extinguisher is replaced every 6 years
Used in anger twice in over 40 years, once for Volvo clunker in the 90's (uni student serviced the car, replaced the fuel filter and forgot to re-do the clips) and once recently for a "mint" V12 Jag at a car-club event that suffered the same fate.
The Jag owner was especially grateful as he had invested $50K into his restoration (the car was "mint" - just like it had left the factory). I scored a bottle of very expensive Australian Cabernet Sauvignon which only goes to show that good deeds sometimes carry their own rewards .... not that I was looking for it, but mypalate certainly said thanks ...
