A big city is not a small area.
It's a small area in the context of the whole world.
And who says they're all from the same city? Only the main characters are confirmed to be from the same city.
As far as I recall, there's no indication that they're an international group of car-wreck freaks. And since the main characters are local, it's fair to assume they're all from within the same limited area. There's no indication that there is any kind of car-wreck freak publication, with car-wreck freak event dates and invitations.
Not to mention, again, who says they're all getting some sexual gratification from it? Some people just love watching car crashes. Youtube and Nascar prove that.
C'mon, the movie is about car crash eroticism. It's silly to argue that they're not all experiencing the same thing. I'm sure Cronenberg's intention was for us to see all of them as experiencing the same sick twisted pleasure.
car fetishists.
This term sounds too broad and ordinary. It sounds like cars turn these freaks on which is not the case. The vehicle is just the means by which they can have a near death experience and possibly be disfigured and live. If we have to label them, I'd say they're near-death mutilation fetishists.
Why would I have to be a "time traveling" robot?
The robot aspect was my focus, or you could just be brainwashed. But I believe it's possible you're from Cronenberg's early days, sent here because he didn't know he'd have a devoted following of people that appreciate his sexual deviance.
You seem to have missed the point that I was being facetious. I don't actually consider you to possibly be a time-traveling robot. I do think you've been brainwashed though, to think overt and bizarre sexual themes is the work of genius.

So's New York. It's still full of all kinds of people and groups.

No indication they all live in the same area. And no, there's no publication. But there are telephones and people do talk to each other.

The main characters are. We don't get to know the extras.

Watch it again. Watch how enamored Vaughn is with the cars even before he crashes one.
You seem to have missed the point that I was being facetious.
No, I got it. It was just poorly done.
I do think you've been brainwashed though, to think overt and bizarre sexual themes is the work of genius.
Nope. Not the theme itself. Just how it's explored, filmed, told, and laid out for the audience.
Let's be bad guys.
