that sucks bro, I am sure you have done this already, but make sure you get the one that is rated for electrical fires

a buddy of mine is a firefighter captain and he points out that it is actually the metal that burns not only because of the paint but because of the flammable particles in it, as well as the electrical wire shielding conduit, interior, seats, and of course the gasoline and oil, so please, please think about that if you ever face the inevitable "Electric Cars Catch On Fire" argument, ahem discussion
