Stupidity

https://www.lifewire.com/avoid-carbo...in-car-4134877 Why Enclosed Spaces and Carbon Monoxide Can Be So Deadly According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 50 ppm is the highest concentration of carbon monoxide that a healthy adult can tolerate in any given eight-hour period. Concentrations beyond 50 ppm can cause serious harm and even death if the exposure lasts long enough. At 200 PPM, a healthy adult can expect to experience symptoms such as dizziness and nausea after about two hours. At concentrations of 400 ppm, a healthy adult will be in mortal danger after about three hours of exposure, and concentrations of 1,600 ppm will induce symptoms within minutes and can kill within one hour. Depending on the condition of the engine, and how well it is tuned, the concentration of carbon monoxide present in combustion gas will typically be between 30,000 and 100,000 ppm. In the absence of a functioning catalytic converter, that massive concentration of carbon monoxide can accumulate very fast. Although a functioning catalytic converter will cut down on the amount of carbon monoxide drastically, that just means it will take longer to build up to poisonous levels. This is why using your car as a generator during a power outage can be dangerous, but even warming your car up in the garage can cause problems. According to a study from Iowa State University, running a car inside a garage with the door wide open caused the carbon monoxide levels in the garage to hit 500 ppm in just two minutes. Furthermore, the concentration was still high enough to do harm a full 10 hours later. |

I mean, maybe if you were running a pipe from your exhaust right in through your window...

So it's a conspiracy with the Iowa University to scare scaremonger random people on the internet? Or maybe it's a bad idea to pump poisonous gas into a closed off area? |

OH shhhhhhhoot, we go from loud start up and cranky neighbors to the sky is falling safety nannies. Cars run so clean now, if you want to gas yourself in the garage, one needs to borrow my 90 sub or 83 GP...... Start it up, drive off normal.

Camaro SS too loud??
It’s a fact that it doesn’t take long, a few minutes, for carbon monoxide to fill a space. It takes a little while longer to reach a dangerous and lethal level. Keep in mind that you don’t smell carbon monoxide and often times the effects are not instantaneous.
What you do smell is the fuel and exhaust burn off, but that’s not the same as the levels of carbon monoxide which are significantly higher. Folks are talking about two different things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Nothing wrong with hopping in the car, starting it in tour mode, initial start up is loud for about 2 seconds, then open garage door, back out. That is not going to kill anyone.
But yeah...don't remote start your car in the garage with the door down for a long period for Christ's sake.

I have to say...I felt this way about the Mustang forum about *certain* threads there too. I guess we are all filled with winners.

I am a considerate person and if I lived where neighbors were close by, I would certainly start the car up in stealth mode and maybe have the car backed in if I was leaving early in the morning. But I would not start it up with the garage door closed. That's putting my health and safety at risk. With the car in stealth and the car backed in, that is all one can do without compromising safety to help reduce the noise these cars make upon start up.

No, it's not awesome, it was embarrassing to our whole family and he made my Mom drive him to Cleveland city court downtown, to his lawyer's, and refused to settle or let it go. He was a stubborn old man and it was a real headache for all of us.
That's why I shared the story. After two years of it my Mom finally told him we're not taking you to court or to your lawyer's anymore. My Grandmother never drove and he was about done driving at that point in his life. It got to the point my Mom and I didn't even want to go to his house to take him to his doctor appointments. |

Yeah, I have to admit I couldnt ever recommend anyone starting their car inside a closed garage without the intent of immediately pulling out... thats just asking for trouble.
