I dunno, doesn't make much sense to me. The amount of time that a car will be RUNNING in a garage is minimal, and modern cars really don't emit that much CO anymore.

The numbers just don't support the agenda; a lot of the people that died are because they're Darwin award winners anyways, like burning coals in an enclosed space to keep warm...
I didn't bother to look for more recent statistics, but I'm certain it's less than what's shown in the link.

Minor fix.
1. People are stupid. I need explain no more on #1.
2. How about 2 a.m., and the cat decides to start batting around the keys that were left on the coffee table. Automatic starter...

Actually didn't know they sold them for home use. Like this one for $149.95.
