Add to cold weather hazards, car
jbon monoxide from gasoline motors.
It ? safest to never start your motor
in a close garage, and to .always al
low some ventilation in closed cars.
The.devilish thing about the stuff is
-that it sneaks up and kills you be
fore you know it, being noisfes$ od
/orless and tasteless. .
