To save any possible hassle if the car did catch fire he recommended that I should ditch the extinguisher or at least carry it in the boot (trunk). So it went out the window.
Has any one in the States checked their Insurance Companies view on carrying an extinguisher?

I don't know... One of the biggest international organizations (UN) requires fire extinguishers in ALL their cars. What ever the case is, I'd say keep one handy.
My car has vin etchings on the glass (which I noticed about a year after I've own it). That reduces the price.
Come to think of it, I have a Halon and a regular units in the SVX's (boot) trunk.
