Method Carbon Monoxide in car?

[snowlance]

I really want to leave this world if I get denied from disability again, so I plan to move out of my parents and be homeless in my car before I ctb. Is it still possible to die from carbon monoxide from a cars exhaust? I heard it's not anymore with some newer cars because of something called a catalytic convertor or something like that. Is it possible to interfere with that at all so it still works? I'm thinking maybe I could run a hose or something from my exhaust into the car. I'm not very experienced with cars though. How would I interfere with the convertor to allow myself to ctb in my car? Is there some other way? My car is a 2013 Ford Edge if that helps.
The only other method I can think of is hanging off a bridge but I'd prefer it not to be so sudden and would rather drift off to sleep

Won't work with modern cars.

I'm not sure if you defeat the catalytic converter (remove it from the exhaust system) if there would be more CO or not. (A search could tell you what the catalytic converter actually does). It may be that CO is minimal because of better engine productions even without converter. If you could find a '60s vehicle that would probably produce the CO levels you would need. Especially if poorly tuned. What is in the news lately especially during the winter months is CO deaths due to gasoline generators being operated too close to, or even inside of, homes. These devices do not have catalytic converters, and typically use carburetors instead of fuel injection.

Judging from a google search, it does appear as if removing the catalytic converter would enable the production of more CO and other pollutants. I do agree though that it's likely only a marginal difference.

A generator seems to be a much better idea if CO is the method.

Disabilty is so hard to get . Took me 3 years, being denied 3 times 2 hearings with a judge to get in the USA. Sorry OP

I wonder if just burning charcoal in my car could produce enough co2, or the generator method in my car

Disposable charcoal BBQ in the car, so you have a smaller area tò fill with CO

This is also what I am thinking, because those who did it in tents are only using simple mechanics and yet it did well… Your fireproof container, briquette, fire, and should you be all set? Around how long before it starts to take effect..?
