There are way more folks than that. ~430K I could pull out of GCBC and then however many I couldn't (Civic Si, Accord Sport, Genesis Coupe etc etc)

I'd say about a million "fun" cars get sold a year. Nothing to sneeze at.

goodcarbadcar.net. Has all the sales stats from like 2009 onward for here and Canada.

Guys like us are definitely more than 1% of the market. You factor in Wrangler bros and Skoal dipping coal rollers, I'd say a good ~10% of the market still enjoys driving. That's kind of huge.
