Hit 250,000 miles on my 2002 Corolla and people still tell me I'm wrong for keeping it

Everyone in my life keeps saying I should get a new car. They call mine a pile of rust and a safety hazard. But here's the thing, I just crossed 250,000 miles last Tuesday and the only real issue I've had was a failing alternator at 210k. The AC still blows cold. The engine doesn't burn oil. My buddy spent $35,000 on a brand new SUV that's been in the shop 3 times this year for electrical gremlins. Who's really got the bad car here? Anyone else get crap for running an old car way past what people think is normal?

Yeah that's usually where they hide the worst cancer.
