[Michael Marr] Thanks all the same, but I will leave it in my unlocked
trunk, for the same reason that I don't have a roll cage and I don't have
seatbelts.  If, perchance, the car randomly bursts into flames one day and I
am not able to put out the fire, I will say "Yep, shoulda put the fire
extinguisher in the cockpit" and then walk to the pub for a quiet pint while
I contemplate what to do with the insurance money.

Mike
