Ooh-bleugh, intoxicated from exhaust fumes

**Steam** · 14th February 2008, 13:50

I just drove home from the 2nd hand shop with a desk for uni in the back of the car, the boot was open so it could fit in, and all the exhaust came in.
By the time I got home 30 mins later I was feeling a bit woozy. Now I feel drunk and can't type too fast. Yuck!
I wouldn't want to drive or ride anywhere right now, feeling like I've had a few.

That's never happened before, craaazy.

You're probably suffering CO poisoning

The exhaust fumes get sucked into the back of the car doing that

Next time open the drivers window too - the airflow then goes through the car.

Yeah, I stopped and opened the windows on both sides, didn't do much good.

I've had a beer to mask the symptoms, now I just feel drunk and not gas-poisoned.

Now I have an uncontrollable craving for cheese.... mmmm, cheese.
