Common sense does dictate that one would at least crack a window for some fresh air.

Breathe a couple carcinogens or lose a couple fingers.... Seems like that choice would be pretty easy to make
I agree, but under the right conditions and after enough time had elapsed it could happen.

Do you really think a thirty year old snowbelt car is going to have a rusfree chassis and good weatherstrips?

Common sense.... something some people lose if they are in a high stress situation. Having dealt with CO poisoning of a coworker years ago, I just want people to be aware of the very real risks involved.

My coworker got CO poisoning because his rusty beater GMC van leaked enough CO inside on his way home one night that he passed out and
ran into the curb. A fellow motorist stopped and saved his life, he was never quite the same again.
