I just run a standard ABC Co2 gas extinguisher(I think it's Co2). I've never personally put my car out(or myself), but I have used it on small roadside fires. Two times I have seen smoking brush, or small flames on the side of the road, usually caused by the pricks who fail to use their ash tray for their cigarette butts. I've put both of the fires out, one was on a very hot windy day(106degrees, 30+miles per hour) and not much other traffic, and more importantly, no fire stations anywhere close. I've also saved a drunk guy from burning himself severely, when he dropped his nice tool box into the fire. Let's just say the fire didn't stand a chance, but it was kind of a lost cause, because the guy didn't wait for the tools to cool down before he picked them up, and burned himself anyway, but not bad. That thing was a handy little brute, and I'll definitly buy another one once this one goes "up in smoke".
