    I think its all part of a plan...a plot, if you will...to transform all of our vehicles into air scrubbers. Soon, we'll be driving to work, and improving our air quality.

    If the stock market crashes and you lock yourself in the garage with the car running, you'll wake up in the morning feeling energized and refreshed...

    That's been considered already believe it or not. A few years ago, a chemical company developed a coating that converts ozone to oxygen just by airflow over the coating. Volvo stepped forward and tested the coating on auto radiators figuring it'd be the perfect part to coat since there is not only sufficient airflow but guarenteed airflow. The coating was non toxic and added no cost to the part or car overall. The result? Idea was abandoned. The resulting ozone to oxygen recovery was considered miniscule and XX number of cars would not convert enough ozone to match the current production of ozone. Odd there was no mention in that old article on the impact of phasing in the coating to ALL radiators on water cooled engines.
    Seems that since the end user didn't have to pay for it, it wasn't a good idea.
    Speed costs money. How fast can you afford?
