As the co-owner of both a Vanagon and a Volvo( my wife's fourth one, the
last was totaled by an Astrovan wheel in the front windshield at 70 mph)
I feel very safe in either one.  I just try to keep in mind that I'm not
Superman and if I hit something hard enough I am going to bleed a lot
all over the interior of my vehicle.  Just my two cents worth of
bandwidth
