I have an Element in my 914 as well as a new/replacement fire system going in as soon as I find/fabricate the correct mounts.
Last week as I was driving my kid around, a VW Bus had a small engine fire near my house. I saw some flames but was confused as the driver & passenger seemed to just be standing there staring at it from 2-3 feet away. Before I could turn around and go try to help - I have a handheld extinguisher in my truck as well - someone else in a Toyota FJ had already stopped and put it out! Lucky for them they were near a pretty busy intersection and someone was able to help. The fire dept got there after it was already put out! So PSA - it's a really good idea to have some sort of fire bottle in any older car or maybe in all cars period! |
