I hope that was a joke, although some will not read it as such.

I read, but don't post, because, while we have two Jeeps, I am mostly here
to learn, but this caught my attention.

It does not make any difference how "clean" a car runs. It is the
exhaustion of usable oxygen in the closed garage that causes death. Maybe
there is less carbon monoxide (which I doubt) but no matter how "clean" the
car is, you will still die. Maybe ten minutes longer, but the end will be
the same.

The Hemlock Society has a new name...

http://www.nrlc.org/news/2003/NRL08/...or_an_imag.htm

The internet is wonderful but leads young people, who believe all of the
"urban legends" that they hear, astray. I would not want to plant an urban
legend (even in jest) and find, later, that someone tried it, and died.

It was not a joke, but I'm in no way suggesting it's a good idea to run
an engine in a closed garage! (or paint, use strong solvents, weld...)

Unburned gas has a way of coating our cells so that we can not use
the oxygen in the air. Like the only way to save a victim would be in a
pressurized chamber forcing the gases exchange.

Want to bet your a$$ on that fact? I don't.

Just last year a retired local fireman was killed in his home - not in
the garage but in an adjacent room - when he left his early-2000's
Grand Cherokee running in the garage then went of sleep without
turning it off (or because he didn't turn it off).

3 - 4 years back, a couple of AF Academy cadets in a brand new car got
stuck in a blizzard coming back across Kansas. They found the dead of
CO poisoning the next morning. Snow had blocked the tailpipe.

In the last blizzard thru here, a couple slid off the road into a
ditch and couldn't get out. Snow blew up over the side of the car and
basically funneled the exhaust back into the vehicle. From cell phone
calls, it was know that they were running the engine intermittently
for heat but they were found dead the next morning.

CO is deadly at relatively low concentrations, well below the typical
exhaust measurements we see for smog tests on current model vehicles.
You do no one any favors posting this without competent references -
the reported events contradict your claim.
