Could we possible get an ~auto?

Seemed odd to me that we have ~s for every major hobby group (sports, computers, TV, science) but not one for Cars.

    This is definitely one on our radar, we just don’t know if we have the traffic and user base to support it yet. But thanks for the suggestion, it lets us know the level of user interest in these...

    P.s. title editing is coming soon too ;)

      I sure hope it has the interest because /r/cars is one of my biggest time wasters on Reddit haha

      Why couldn't they just come at the same time? To me at least ~urbanplanning seems too specific to be a top-level ~, and would probably be a tag instead. I recall reading that how it's planned is...

      Why couldn't they just come at the same time? To me at least ~urbanplanning seems too specific to be a top-level ~, and would probably be a tag instead. I recall reading that how it's planned is that sub~s would come from the site automatically making them if there is a frequency of tags under a certain ~

      If we're going after pure popularity /r/cars has 12x the subscribers that /r/urbanplanning does, but I understand the demographics here wont be the same as on Reddit.

          The US is a big place my friend, and car culture runs deep in a lot of countries. If the US had a train and subway system that spanned the country and was feasible across the board, them I'm sure...

          The US is a big place my friend, and car culture runs deep in a lot of countries.

          If the US had a train and subway system that spanned the country and was feasible across the board, them I'm sure a lot of people would prefer that. But the fact of the matter is it doesn't. I'd love to be able to take public transport to work and the store, and keep my car for the weekends but that's just not going to happen where I live. If I tried to take a bus to work my commute would take 1.5 hours instead of 30 minutes. That's 2 hours of free time taken away from every work day.
