  10. Looks to me like the question should be quantified by a few conditions. If you are driving the car, what would you do in case of fire? I believe the answer was to step away and call 911 unless you can get to it from the radiator area with a dry chem extinguisher. If you are working on the car, hood open, what would you do? In this case you should always have an extinguisher nearby so you can put out the flames. I like the idea of a fire suppression if you're really worried about it. But, rather than investing your money into something like this, why don't you spend more money on updating your engine? I have a boat, and there are many rules when it comes to fire protection with the Coast Guard. A boat fire is a serious thing, but, mostly because you can never tell what is going on inside your engine room until it's too late. In this case they recommend (but do not require) an automatic suppression system. They do require at least 1 or 2 extinguishers on board and even 3 if you have a big enough boat. The biggest concern is maintenance, which can never be ignored if you want to pass inspection. Lastly, I also think there's something to be said about the difference between smoke and fire, right? I realize the old saying is true "where there's smoke, there's fire", but, in the case of smoke, should you open your hood (with your extinguisher in hand) to investigate? Ooops, I forgot to answer the topic of this thread about gloves. I think it's a good idea to have a set of leather gloves handy in the car at all times, for many different tasks. You can get a 3 pack at Costco for around 20 bucks. I wouldn't chance it with a set of fitted maintenance gloves unless you want to have plastic melted to your skin. In any case, the level of fire is going to be the conditional element. Who has time to slap on a pair of gloves when there's a fire? If they are sitting next to the extinguisher, possibly. However, they would have to be something you can put on fast only after you pull the extinguisher pin.
  11. Nearly 40 hour drive for me. I wonder if anyone from the PacNW will be taking it on?
