I'll say. Quite a fire. Note that the aluminum parts on the front of the engine all melted. Air horn, coolant pipes etc. --Bob

Seeing this is sickening. Think I'll drop by AutoZone and check out dry extinguishers. Does anyone carry an extinguisher onboard? @ Jim Voter, no need to respond....I know you're prepared...lol!

Sure do. Halon 1211 mounted just in front of passengers seat. Even practice quick removal just in case!

Does anyone carry an extinguisher onboard?

Yes. Over the years I've had to use an extinguisher 2 or 3 times also. Without it, the results would have been catastrophic. I was even able to help out a fellow C4 driver once.

I would say house fire on that one as well. Usually the FD won't let one burn to that extent on the road due to pavement damage...

I think this has been asked before - but do we have any reliable idea how many Z's actually exist? Knowing the actual numbers might help with value...

That Exact model saved Xfire's (Dominic's) 1984 from going up in flames..

I need to get a new one for my car

Shocker. Probably VATS... I'd try cleaning the chip in the ignition key first. It could be something as simple as that.

Might be the battery, it looks a little burnt up.

Fire Extinguisher update....forget about Advance Auto....the one they show on their web site with the Velcro attachments are not the ones they have in the stores, at least not in my area. Also the one I had purchased there, the safety tab did not spring back into position for the safety test. So back it went. Drove over to HD and found the same size unit also by Kidde, but a different style as shown in the pic. Has a needle to let you know if it is full, and ready to go. Think I will attach some Velcro myself for a neat install. Price was the same, so for $21 and change, (tax included) you are protected.

It is a 3.9lb unit.....

"6 - 8 ft. discharge range and 8 - 12 second discharge time with an operating pressure of 100 psi"

They also have a white unit that is listed as Auto/Marine and is 4lb. Did not have at my local HD. But both read the same in the spec section.
With the one I purchased.....
Extinguisher Class A:B:C - Multiple Use

The Auto/Marine.....
Extinguisher Class B:C - Multiple Use

So they are basically the same, hopefully will never have to be used....
