Another thought: the occasional mistake aside, it's articles like this that catch people's attention.

I can point directly to the 2005 EV World article about Phil's Toyota pickup as the spark that launched my interest in aerodynamics & aeromodding. At that time, there were no forums on the topic, but there was a long discussion that followed in the comments below the article. You can read there the suggestion that a dedicated forum be started, and that was the genesis of the now defunct MaxMPG Yahoo group, the spiritual predecessor of GasSavers and EcoModder.

So, maybe there will be others who read your article and discover a new interest/hobby!
