How old of a car does it need to be?

[maybeimalreadydead]

I have a separately attached garage. Is the old leaving the car on in the garage method still realistic? How old of a car does it have to be? I have read into the charcoal stuff. I am feeling very defeated. My finances are monitored, I have limited time alone. I'm stuck collecting pills which I'll never have enough or hanging which I can't manage to get past my SI to do it right.... I have Xanax, I'm trying to find any kind of opiate but it isn't easy especially broke. Please someone just help me. I feel so alone.

I'm sorry you're struggling so. I believe 1996 is the year cars started having catalytic converters, at least in the US, but someone more knowledgeable will be along soon, I'm sure.

Please be careful with yourself, ok? (((Hug)))

A quick google search shows 1975 was when they were put into use. I've heard of people modifying their vehicles for this method though.

But I'm with soul on this one. Be careful, this seems like it's rushed and it usually doesn't go over well if you rush this sort of thing. Make sure it's what you want and that there's atleast some plan involved.

Just bc cars have catalytic converters doesnt mean they dont have or produce CO. cars have had cats since the 70s at least. Modern cars will produce CO - a woman and her autistic son died that way near my old house when they got back from groceries and forgot to turn their relatively modern 201x-something Honda off in the garage.
CO is an unavoidable product of combustion. Of any kind. Whats missing due to cats is excess Nitrogen Oxide etc.

It's too bad 2007 is likely too new. I'm not trying to rush, I've been trying to find my method for a while. Yet another failed hanging attempt today left my neck just bruised. I am pathetic.

You need to reread what I said. 2007 still produces carbon monoxide and any car will do the same. Catalytic convertors do not change combustion. I am not suggesting you act on this knowledge, merely urging caution because any vehicle running in an enclosed space can be deadly.

I understand. Thank you

My understanding is even 1000 ppm is lethal if built up. And in a closed area it would be higher bc there is less oxygen available to be catalyzed with the exhaust by the convertor.

Well I wouldn't advise trying a Tesla.

the catalytic converter is the piece of equipment which removes hydrocarbons, CO included. Any vehicle would do, if you remove the converter. If you're reasonably handy you can do this yourself. YouTube probably has guides on your specific vehicle.

I only wish I were this handy. Haha
