I drive a 2001 Focus, and love it. I don't have to compensate for nada.

I always thought you'd drive a BMW 7 series or likewise.

No he is only pretentious and arrogant about certain things.

I think 60's vehicles are just as safe as 70's vehicles, and both me and my dad drive 70's vehicles daily, so I don't really see it being that much of an issue. I guess it is less safe in a crash, but I try not to crash.

You never try to crash. But if it does happen they are much less safe. I wouldn't want either as a daily driver.

Well, I just don't have an issue with it. I prefer the way the older cars drive, I don't really like how the newer cars feel driving. They are great, in many ways, but I learned driving an older vehicle and that's what I came to prefer.

Also did a little smoking today, and I got absolutely nothing out of it other than bad breath. No buzz or anything. Don't know what the big fuss is. I'd rather dip.

Definitely the other way around for me. I tried dipping at the insistence of co-workers and it was one of the most awful things I've ever done to myself. My heart started pounding, I felt so woozy I had to lie down, and it tasted bad. And there's all that spitting too.

I guess I "like" how cigarettes taste. I only smoke about a total of a pack a year. I'm one of those "smokes when he drinks" type people.

I dig Pall Malls.

Never touched tobacco, don't see any reason why I'd ever want to.

I only smoke tobacco on rare occasions and it's usually a cigar with a nice dark lager on the side. I'll be having a nice cigar next weekend on my birthday for instance.

I think a good cigarette tastes great (emphasis on good). Too expensive for me though, and I hate the effect regular smoking has on my lung capacity. Those are pretty much the only reasons I quit. I will smoke very occasionally with friends or family however. Very occasionally, a few times a year. I don't think I've had 20 smokes since the 2012 NE meet up.

[oxymoron]

I'll smoke a cigarette is someone offers me one but considering I don't hang out with many cigarette smokers, it's not often.

In Maine the price of a pack of cigs has gone up about $4 since 2005. I don't know how anyone smokes without going bankrupt.
