guess I should get a bigger extinquisher then... I've got a small one mounted in my trunk in the event of an "emergency"... nothing like you'd be up against against, bse50 but I'd be pretty damn disappointed if I had to use it and ran out before making a dent on the fire.

The problem with fire extinguishers is that they're almost always too small. 2.5lbs ones are completely useless... 10lbs one may help a bit but you must be trained to use it and be QUICK.
Race cars must have remote systems here paired to a big enough tank. You push a button and they spray inside the engine bay etc. That's because by the time you get off the car, take the fire extinguisher and use it it's already too late 99% of the time.
Popping open a smoking hood is stupid. More oxygen all of a sudden is what you want to avoid in a fire. Besides, it gets too hot to touch really fast.
An extinguisher may be useful for small things though, like a plastic bag that's trapped between the exhaust and the trunk or other small accidents like a cigarette on the carpet but that's pretty much it.
I have a 10kg extinguisher in my garage and know that it is barely enough to be safe
In the car i'd rather run away than try to be a hero and end up like Niki Lauda!

I agree the graffiti one is actually well done but way too busy for me.

So you are fine with the lavender bumpers and trim? Also looks to be lavender side mirrors and roof rack but it is hard to tell from this picture. Looks kind of horrible to me, but I also missed it my first time looking at it.

I do not know what was more amusing
A. Civic catching on fire for doing something stupid.
B. Civic chained to a cement wall in order to be able to complete burnout.
C. Saving his precious civic with bottles of BEER and pushing it away from the fire.
He is the king of win.
