You do have good *FIRE* insurance on your car? Or did you fnot bother to mention the approved metal container with snap down lid to keep the rag in? Or do you keep it in the trunk near the nice warm engine?

Might I humbly suggest that you grab some of the paper towels out of the rack neext to the pump that holds the window squeege [sp?] and use them instead of the rag and then throw it away right there at the gas station?

I trust we've all seen those dreadful pics of Elise burned to the ground.
