At my age, I wouldn't want to do the latter, but I could.

Even a 30# extinguisher won't do much good on a car fire if you don't use it right. Even worse with a gas (CO2, Halon, etc) extinguisher, especially if there is any wind.

The small extinguisher you find in cars is NOT meant to put out a fire of any size - it's to knock the fire down enough so you can escape or be rescued.
In the power plant. We had to train with everything we had on site. From the 5 lbs that was in the vehicles up to using a 3" hose. We trained on chemical, electrical, fuel, trash, metal, etc. The electrical and metal fires are scary. The electrical because you could be dealing with 525KV (525,000) volts. The metal because if you use the wrong stuff. You make it worse. If you catch a car fire in time. You can put it out using a 5 lb'er.
