Another point against dry chem extinguishers is that the powder will pack in the canister from the vibration of driving.Regular maintenance should also include shaking a dry chem weekly or monthly to get the powder flowing inside it.Store dry chem's horizontally as well,hope you never need to use it though.BTW I don't carry an extinguisher in my cars just fire insurance.
