I keep a fancy 2.5lb halon extinguisher in my DD, which I only have because I bought it originally for my old ACVW that I sold. This reminds me that I really need an extinguisher for my apartment, too.

If yours is that MX250B, don't be surprised when you use it and powder comes out instead of halon; it's a dry chemical extinguisher.

Just as well, since Halotron 1 extinguishers seem to start around twice as expensive

thanks to this thread, when I was riding in my friend's '91 Prelude Si for the first time yesterday, when he said "poo poo my car is smoking" and pulled over I knew we shouldn't pop the hood.

it turned out the smoke was coming from the tailpipe because the fiber-reinforced metal cylinder sleeves in the thing's B21A1 engine are so tough and indestructible that they beat the poo poo out of the piston rings, and he overfilled the oil by about a quarter quart, but it's the thought that counts.

(later he discovered that passing someone who's going 30 in a 55 leaves them in an impenetrable oily blue cloud)

Kind of unrelated to the topic, but this is a known B21A1 thing. That motor is poo poo. Swap in a B20A5 from an 88 - 89 and enjoy years of trouble free motoring.

he knows, but it's the first time he'd overfilled it :v:
