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.

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