[I]Every[I] automotive forum is an outlier. Before I came here, I frequented the VCA (now VOA) forums, back when I had a Viper. There are currently 4,197 members on that forum--not all of them Viper owners, of course--compared to 31,850 Vipers sold through Feb. 2016. I suspect the ratio is even worse for cars like the Corolla and Civic, where there are millions of examples on the road and only a few thousand forum members who are enthusiastic enough about their cars to discuss them online. You can remind your family members that our ecomodding is based on the immutable and unchanging laws of fluid dynamics, and point out that just because they aren't "outliers" doesn't mean they aren't stupid.
