Default Portable fire extinguisher in GS

Considering the potential of possible engine fires, I am curious how many of you have a fire extinguisher inside of your GS? If you do, where did you mount it? I have 3 in the garage, but did not mount one in the GS as of yet. Pics would be great.

Sorry, I don't have pix, but I mounted mine on the passenger side under the glove dept. I was going to put it on the side of the windshield on the passenger side...but I didn't want to look like my civic. =)

I have it in the trunk. It's on the right side "pocket" that's opposite to where the jack comes normally. No need to have it rolling around the inside of the cabin... I don't intend on staying inside the car if a fire breaks out.

There are some folks that have it in their car for show as well as for safety. I purchased a small chrome one for the GS. Here are some others that are available.

black chrome


chrome with flames

I never thought us GS guys would have one in the car.. But for safety reasons i can understand.. Pics would nice to see location and so forth.. I've seen them alot on hondas and small turbo cars but the GS..

I would consider this for the trunk?

It never really occured to me to have one with the GS. I guess it is a good idea, but, then again, do you think that everybody should have one no matter what car they own?

Option 5. I'm not a ricer.

PS - if I do have one, I'd prob hide it in the trunk.

Hey A, if you install it in the trunk you can wire to the engine for NOS.. just a thought..
