Fire Extinguishers in our cars

Do you guys have small fire extinguishers in your cars?  If so, I'm looking for ways and places to mount one in my 88.  I was thinking on the front of the drivers seat right behind where our legs would be.  That way it's easiest to snag in case shiznit hits the fan (not that I'm actually worried about my car catching fire).  What do you guys have? Pics please.

I plan on mounting a small one right behind the driver seat. I've seen brackets that mount between the seat and seat track.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I keep a big one in the trunk with a first aid kit and a baseball bat just in case.
I used the bat once to smash out a rear window when a car rolled in the ditch in front of me many years back
