I was thinking about getting an extinguisher system that goes in the
engine bay. Anybody had any experience with that? IMHO the best
choice, but probably expensive. Considering how safer this is however...
Also, dont just leave the extinguisher laying on the floor. Attach it with
a metal bracket. If you get in an accident, the loose extinguisher becomes
a lethal weapon.
