Hey, so does fire.   :-)

The question is which does more damage.  I think you'll find the answer
to be fire.

Basically when it comes down to it I'd rather use an ABC extinguisher
than let my van get toasted -- if your van is on fire, fire extinguisher
residue is the least of your worries.

Granted ABC might not be the best for the job, but it'll do I suppose.
Halon would be nice tho.... :-)
