Thanks for the imput DV we all know about 1998. It just gets under my skin about this subject. I know you believe that every car on the road should have one and I agree. Like I said before if you have ever been in a car fire you will Dam* sure not be with out one again. I am telling you a car fire is very ugly when you are strapped in and can't get out. As I said before I was in my Jeep and the hood started the smoking thing, you have all seen it. I drove over the curb to get out of traffic. When I stopped I was stuck in the dam* seat belt. It had locked and the harder I tried the tighter it got. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!

Believe me I was praying to God above to help me out of that fire. I could see myself burning to death in the seat belt. If it had not been for a Buck knife that I carried in the Jeep , folks I would not be here. I cut the seat belt to get out. In my life I have never before or since been that scared. Just telling this story now the hair is standing straigt up on my arms. It was real and I was going to die, In a fire. Guys close your eyes and imagine. Just a second and you to will see what I am telling you.

At that time I would not have cared what kind it was so long as it worked. The one I had did not put out fuel fires. Very hard lesson to learn and "THANK YOU GOD " for letting me live to tell my friends.
