Good idea but not enough of a split.  How about:

rec.autos		General Discussions about cars
rec.autos.UA.theories	Theories and statistics on Unintended Acceleration
rec.autos.UA.flames	Name calling of people who step on the wrong pedal
rec.autos.radar.detect  Any discussions involving radar detectors
rec.autos.speeding	Discussions of how and why you speed
rec.autos.55		Discussions of why you should only drive 55
rec.autos.tires		Anything concerning tires
rec.autos.snake.oil	Discussions of Slick 50, TUF oil, etc.
rec.autos.racial.slur	Discussions of racial slurs that relate to autos
rec.autos.welty		To convince us that Saabs and Milanos are good looking
rec.autos.US.junk	Admonitions that all US cars are junk
rec.autos.foriegn.junk	Admonitions that all foriegn cars are junk
rec.autos.dweeb		Stories of stupid stunts and manuevers
rec.autos.nyah.nyah	All articles of the type "Mine is better than yours"

There may also be a need for some specialized catagories

rec.autos.stupid.for.sale 
	This includes ads for $25,000 VW Rabbits, $10,000 (10 years old)
	Zephyrs, and clapped out $500 beaters located 3000 miles from
	anyone interested.
rec.autos.really.legal
	Discussions of the constitution and the bill of rights
