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?

I like cars. Here's my humble daily

I used to have a 1.8 litre VW golf petrol turbo. The power to weight ratio of that car was formidable.

Heavy clutch (required).

Sport suspension.

Bucket seats.

All factory.

V6 and V8 cars would be left behind at the lights. Their shame was palpable as my 'girl car' left them in the dust. She was a sleeper.

I truly miss that car. She was amazing.

I have a 4WD now. I may as well be in a wheelchair, pushing through syrup.

Mine is a stock v6 from 2012. It makes 300hp and recently got gapped by a kia soul. The handling is great but man its sooo slow.
