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

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?

Back home, I could own more than an acre of land, not be told what I can and can't build on it and pay less than what I bought my house for with .25 acre. I would have to drive an hour and 40 min to get to anything I'm personally interested in if I still lived there though which is why I moved to a city.

Growing up I was on a school bus for 45 min to 1hr each way and my parents drove 40+miles each way to work. Now my kid can walk to school or a park, we have non-white neighbors and it's a short distance to so many experiences. The opportunities here heavily out weighed having more land but as I get more in to cars, I can't help but wish we had a double lot for car storage
