Damn, vtec kicked in yo! I've been considering a fire extinguisher, but I don't know where to put it. ---- that ricer A-pillar ----. I'm thinking on the side of the center tunnel on the passenger side.

i carry a 10 year old home fire extinguisher in my car. Its not strapped to anything so it flies around some times. i think its more likely it will hit something and break than ever be used for a fire and who knows if it would even work due to its age. i should really strap that thing down.

ahh probably some electric failure and then the brake fluid and power steering fluid splashing out didn't help and guessing after it hit the fuel line whatever was in there and filter/fuel rail didn't help too much either
