I know, I'd rather have bought Halon too...

Great idea, I'll check that out next time I drive my car; I have it garaged 10 miles from my house, so I can't judge if mine will fit there without getting my feet entangled in the bits of the handle and/or pressure-meter. I had thought of mounting it against the back-wall, between my new speakers and free of the carpeting on the parcelshelf. But when I do this and use the luggage-net I can't get to the damn thing quick enough! Letting it lay around on the shelf behind your head isn't a great idea either; it slides around (like it does in my trunk at the moment, making me thing my front suspension was on the fritz) and in a collision it becomes a heavy projectile. No Thanks! I'll pass on that! I got mine through my fathers' business; for about $80,- but that's including an annual checkup for the first 5 years. At least I can say my car has seen some sort of snow this year ;-) Best regards, JAN van de Wouw Thinking Different... Using a Mac... Living the Dream...
