Are there really so few car enthusiasts on this site? This sub seems to have such little traffic. What gives?

Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What's the deal?

:/ the overlap is minimal. Try to find a republican in the fuckcars community.

Overlap between Republicans and c/fuckcars might be minimal, but overlap between car enthusiasts and c/fuckcars is surprisingly large. It turns out that a bunch of folks who love the machines and the driving and the car culture are, in fact, capable of understanding that those experiences can get diminished when you force a bunch of normies to do it and clog up the roads.

Besides, in my case at least, the fact that I can use my bicycle to get around town means that all my cars can be project cars, instead of having to own something boring and reliable.

I love my summer car, working on it, driving it down back roads, taking it to autocross and lapping days, but if I never have to drive in stop & go traffic when I'm running late ever again, I'd never complain.
