I know where you are coming from. Sometimes I have had to have friends restrain me physically from trying to commit serious bodily damage to some ricer who was talking smack about my car.

 

Cats are for petting not for restricting. Seams like if your under the impression that cats keep our air cleaner for the future your mis informed.

"However, despite helping to improve air quality, the converters have been contributing the heavy metals to the environment so that Notre Dame researchers in their first test location found up to 10 times the normal background levels of platinum particles. Dr. Neal mused: “Is it getting into the food crops? We don’t know.”"

I am not saying it is a good idea for everyone to abandon there catalytic converters but clean air might not be healthy air. The perception of clean air these days is air that doesnt smell of exhaust fumes or unburnt fuel. This on one hand might be nice but at what risk?

Do some research its a internesting topic.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I will read up.

 

I just learned about cats in my chem class this past quater, it engine releases carbon monoxide the crap inside a cat helps the reaction to react on the cat surface, and it converts the gas into carbon dioxide which is not as deadly as monoxide but still not healthy i guess to put it.

 

Ok...i failed chemestry but I remember at least this much...do you know what gas you exhale? Do you know what gas makes Coke fizzy? It's all CO2. I don't think the problem with the cat is the CO2 but the heavy metal's. Heavy metals I believe(Remeber I failed chemestry) are things like Mercury. Not very healthy. But I'd choose the lesser of two evils and keep the cat.

 

sure they are healthy, that is why our body does not like to let them pass out of our systems. look at the tuna they love and need mercury that is why we can a full dose of our daily reccomended alotment in one can a tuna a week, isn't our bodies wonderous machines they know what we need, geez i sound like peter griffin.

 

why dont you get a case of whippets at the local headshop, get a whippets ******* and a small (thick) baloon.... its a lot easier

 

Now I'm not advocating the use of drugs in any way...but that ****'s fun.
