Fire Extinguisher mount
A question for those of you that have a floorboard mounted fire extinguisher inside your car. Do you have it mounted on the drivers side or passenger side?

That's a nice installation. 
I mounted a 2.5# HALON in the trunk to the underside of the center hole cover in my Z16. It's very accessible. In case of a fire, I'd rather spend my time getting out of the car than fidgeting with a fire extinguisher inside the car. The trunk seemed to me to be the last place to be on fire. The seat mounted brackets look really trick, but I didn't like the idea of lost floor space/seat movement limitation.

The extinguisher is so far back up under their legs it doesn't interfere with anything.
