Ignorance abounds on the "internets", unfortunately.
I can speak from personal experience. Ignorance, jealousy, and all the others
had an almost infinite amount of time to malignate themselves on us before the internet existed.

Showing others that you can get fantastic mileage and look fine simultaneously, in the age of deception, and the internet only makes it more insulating to the insulter, will go a long way to show the uninformed that they can have their cake and eat it too.

Toss a chart on the hatch showing what it costs to drive your car a mile versus theirs, then multiply it by 100,000 or 2 or even 300,000 miles. You're at about 4 cents a mile. They could be at 30 cents a mile.

Get them to think about 30,000 gallons at $3 a gallon. Now your talking about a house you basically got for free.
