Personal bias perhaps, but the WVO fans I've met have all been the pot smoking "free fuel" hippie types who I wouldn't buy a shoe shine from, much less a used automobile.

No comment on WVO, but your hippie analogy gave me a laugh and reminded me of Ronald Reagan's definition of a hippie as someone who:
1 Dresses like Tarzan,
2 Has hair like Jane
3 Smells like Cheetah

Take that with a grain of salt, but it came from someone who could have been Tarzan, likely dated Jane and certainly knows what Bonzo smelled like.

Cheers
