My wife doesn't want to walk on the snow so she opens the garage door and starts the car.

I would back out the back of the car so it is hanging outside a few feet so you don't get as much exhaust in the house.
If there is a room above the garage, I would make sure that the car is all the way outside to warm up as the exhaust goes up pretty easily.
Good Luck!

So she would rather fill the house with deadly Carbon monoxide right? Idiots! Hot gassed rise and the door open does what?? Right,lets cold air in and causes the hot gas to rise, into the home, where you and maybe some other people are! So everyday she's to lazy to back the car out and warm it up? Driving a car slowly warms it up without wasting fuel, so start thinking before we have to read about another tragedy in the news because of stupidity!

Not a real good Idea if you have an attached garage. If you do you may want to have a CO detector intstalled in the house near the door. If the wind is blowing the wrong way you could actually have the exaust blow into the house

No. Even with the garage door open, it sometimes is still not enough to vent the carbonm dioxide emitted from your car. Also, leaving your car unattended and running is an invitation for car thieves.

Of course you can leave the car on when the door is open. The only reason you can't when the garage is shut is the exhaust fumes build, not good...

It depends on how much ventilation is in your garage. If she isn't in the garage long, and the car isn't running very long, then yes, you can start your car and then get in and go. However, I wouldn't let it run for more then say, 5 minutes or so.

No, I would not advise it. Near where I live a lady left her car running, went in the house and forgot. A relative came by later, car still running and the lady dead in the house from carbon monoxide poisoning.

well it all depends on where you live. Here in the British Virgin Islands it is completely safe. However, in other parts of the world someone might take off with your vehicle!!
