Can if your car is modified to run on natural gas.

Ahh! Talking about natural gas, do we still have CNG cars in Singapore? Are there still any operational CNG refilling stations? Or dying off liao...

For those interested in more details, I found another article containing more diagrams and wireframes of the exhaust in its various states as taken from the patent: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1133925_ford-patents-retractable-exhaust-tips

I have never looked at an exhaust and thought I wish that could retract!

Its the most useless thing to put on a car.

Retractable exhaust.

That's what you always needed but just never knew.

Once you get it you will never drive a car without one in your whole life.

Ford should stop wasting money on electric cars and put all their R and D budget into making better retractable exhaust.

Electric cars don't need an exhaust.

Unless you connect a pipe to the back seat where my MIL sits and channel her exhaust gas away from the cabin and out the back of the car.

It boggles the mind.

Wow, 4 consecutive posts about it? I can't tell whether your reaction to this invention is positive or negative! 😂

Your MIL emits toxic fume!?

Judging from the decades-persistent jokes about MILs, I think they're just toxic in general LOL.

The taxis have completely died off, although there is still demand for such stations from some CNG passenger cars. I still pass by the station in Toh Tuck when I send my motorcycles to Vicom for their annual inspections.
