Losing my car to a fire is the biggest fear I have. I bought these Element fire extinguishers rather than going with a traditional extinguisher, one for space, I can fit 3 of them in my glovebox. Two the Element extinguishers have a very long shelf life. I drove my car around (93 Supra/03 Cobra) all summer with peace of mind thinking that if anything happened I'd be covered. I decided to test them out to get a better understanding of how effective they are. Checkout the link below to see how the test went.
