I'm so sorry but not surprised to see this nonsense:

Actually, you disagree with me.
In 1966, I helped ferry a VW bug from Oklahoma to Wyoming and we hit Denver in the morning. There was a redish haze over the Denver bowl, pollution.
In 1972, I was a young Marine with orders for Okinawa Japan. I drove my VW MicroBus from Kansas to California and everything was fine until I was on a highway access ramp in Riverside and my eyes teared up worse than the tear-gas hut I'd gone through a year before. It was pollution and I barely kept the van on the ramp, the pollution was that bad.
Personally, I think there should be a car 'gas chamber' where those who believe emission controls are unnecessary must stay in long enough to enjoy the NOx, HC-stink, and a light case of carbon monoxide headache. Repeat the treatment until they get a clue.
Click and Clack, the NRP Car Talk guys mentioned how modern cars are so efficient in reducing carbon monoxide that they don't have nearly the problem with ventilation in their garage that they used to have. Carbon monoxide has history.
Now I'm 61 years old and I was in my late teens and early 20s when I directly experience pollution effects. But even now in Alabama, I'll get behind some ijiot who 'fixed' their car . . . I can smell them and it always recalls the pain and headaches from my youth.
