    sorry to hear about the fire at least you saved it though
    to be honest I dont carry one for mine... I carry one incase I ever come up on a car on fire with people trapped agian. That was a good day that could have been bad.

    Well the truck is repaired and ready for pickup. I let my insurance fight with them after i gave up. They put a stock intake tube back on it which sucks cause i had a UPD intake on it. So now i am waiting for the check to come in the mail to get it paid for. $1521.08 was the bill on it and that didnt pay for the damn tranny line that caused the problem. Its been nice driving the z28 though since it is a hell of alot better on mpg's that the truck. It just doesnt run as good as the truck though.

    A while back, a friend of mine bought a K5 Blazer...it was a beater that he wanted to drive to keep miles off his stupid fast T/A. He left it parked at my house for a few days in the Fall, and leaves got into the cowl of the truck. He had wiper motor problems, and his wires were exposed... Well, we got in, started it and drove down the street...only to find out that flames were shooting out from the cowl! But thank goodness for my Copenhagen habit..cause the only thing we had was my spit cup. We popped the hood and I threw my spit cup on there and it IMMEDIATELY extinguished the flames. I kinda smelled like burnt dip spit for a week, but the truck was saved!

    Copenhagen is not only the ONE thing that will mask the smell of alcohol on your breath, but Copenhagen spit outperforms Sodium BiCarbonate (NaHCO3) in fire suppression tests.
