I'm not sure if it was mentioned yet in this thread but for a car you need an extinguisher that works for magnesium. You'll never put out a car fire without one.

Where can I find a small one?

I have a decent amount of money into the car and would be dumb for me not to invest in one I think.

You said they come with a mount too right? That's my next question, a good place to put it. Fit under the seat?
