Hey guys check out this site. http://www.healthycar.org/home.php
I guess they are saying the Silverado isn't safe to ride in. But the Cobalt and HHR did good tho.

I guess the new Malibu has some Lead in the carpeting.

Take a ride with me after I had a burrito or two. I can almost guarantee death in my truck!

You are looking at the 06/07 models for Silverado, the new one is the the one with least concern at 0.9. Not to be mistaken with SAFEST.

Surprised to see they forgot to figure in the "Mexican factor" A couple taco grandes in my truck and the VOC meter would explode :yup:

I HOPE to hell my car emits noxicity.

I absolutely love new-car smell.

Anything to be non-PC. :fall:

Doesn't this freak anyone out tho? I mean if there is lead in your vehicle your going to breathe all that in.

 

[Smaart Aas Saabr]

you shouldn't really be breathing in any lead, lead melts at a low temperature yes but it won't evaporate in any real degree...

 

[Chevyfan101]

But still there is all those other nasty chemicals in that new car smell which you breathe in.

I too remember this topic coming up in another thread. I tried searching without luck though. I believe it was a thread that got deleted because people couldn't mind their P's and Q's.

Anyway, honestly this doesn't freak me out though. Think about EVERYTHING we have been exposed to....from the plastic you brush your teeth with, the cans that hold food, the genetic feed that cattle eat, volcano ash, 9-11 debris, gasoline vapors etc.

VWs/Audis and Mercedes don't do so well.

Some value-oriented domestics (Aveo, Impala, Town Car, trucks, etc) don't do well, too.

It's come up at least twice a year since I've joined the site.

I can remember this topic within the last 3 months.

Most of the cars are safe, and it doesn't effect my buying decision.

 

[Chevyfan101]

Well alot of new cars are going to be going away with the new car smell. As thats what one of the videos on their site indicated.

No, it absolutely in no way freaks me out.

People have been breathing these fumes for a hundred years. We live longer and healthier than ever before.

Well, until this generation. No exercise, video games for hours, afraid of everything that every professional panic-monger gets some headlines about.
Fat, nearsighted, social skills honed via text messaging.
We do have much to concern us, and it's not new car smell.

We live in a very safe society for the most part. That doesn't stop people like algore from working the panic button every five seconds.

Eventually the adrenal gland fails, and nobody gives a damn.

My Silverado's interior is often toxic on Tuesdays.

That's when I drive the guys at work to Vallarta's Mexican Restarant.

Now THAT'S dangerous. :lmao:

I'm hoping you've applied for some government assistance. Mexican government, that is.

My mazda3 is killing me. Lead in the back seats. Lead on my butt. Scary! Lead butt

So basically everyone here thinks this is just a hoax right?
