Typical Bob Haller.
In my younger years, I might have agreed. However, we all make choices
where we weigh the dangers against the benefits. Who's to say that the
enjoyment of smoking a few cigarettes (or cigars, or pipes, or other) isn't
worth the risk of "dying young" or having a lower quality of life in later
years? If you're smoking "two packs a day", that's a bit extreme, but if
you experience everything in moderation, your risks of any one thing killing
you are lower. ;-)
I drive a 93 Chevy G20 7 passenger conversion van to work every day. The
benefit is that it's big enough to haul my entire family of five anywhere in
the country. The danger is that it's an older design that places the driver
and front passenger at *far* greater risk in a collision than newer models
of full size vans.
But the biggest advantage of my van is the cost. The 93 Chevy was given to
me by my father (last year), so the low cost of ownership is the biggest
advantage. I can't afford the $40k for a new Chevy conversion van, let
alone the increased insurance on such an expensive vehicle.
