I carry mine in the truck mounted to the carpet with velcro right next to my Ford First Aid Kit, actually helped me win a recent show I might add. I will get a photo and post this evening.

My sequentials and HID's are completely tidy and fused so no, I don't carry one. If it caught on fire from a factory defect, I would rather it burned to the ground(like my RX7TT did)-an extinguisher would of done nothing.

When I bought my car it came with an extinguisher from FORD. It seems like this is an international option they don’t do in the States. My car came with a highly reflective orange briefcase in the trunk with Velcro on the bottom. It has Ford, Mercury, Lincoln written all over it. Inside its got an impressive first aid kit (bandages, gauze, scissors, ointments, splints, etc…). Its also got a semi-impressive tool kit, a plastic collapsible reflective caution triangle (like the Mercedes have), a tire seal and inflate kit, a tire gauge, and a red extinguisher with FORD, MERCURY, LINCOLN written all over it.

It should have some sort of sticker saying first aid kit # or something to that effect

As you might know from my "Idiot ran a red and wrecked my baby" thread, my car is still recovering from the accident. I'll look it up and snap a photo or two once my baby is back from the shop. Hopefully within a day or two.

I don't have one now, but I will get one. See, for some car shows, you MUST have both a fire extinguisher and a 1st aid kit. Plus I have wanted one just incase. Hey Crucut, where did you find a blue one at? That may work for me.

I carry a rather large one in a toolbox (by itself) in the trunk. The toolbox keeps it from rolling around. The small ones you usually find marketed to keep in your car are WAY too small to handle a car fire of any sort. At least with a large one I have a better chance at keeping it under control for a few minutes. And yes, I carry to help other folks out as well should the need arise.
