Fire extinguisher. Cheap insurance against a small fire. I haven't neded it on my car ever, but I did put out a small engine fire for a neighbor with it. He was working in a VW bug in the alley, heard some commotion, saw the flames, and rushed over there and put it out for him. He said thanks, but didn't give me the $5 for the recharge of bicarbonate. I should get Halon now anyway now that my car is pretty.
