I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I remember a top down game from the late '80s or very early '90s where you drive a car along a highway and try to defend yourself against other cars using different weapons and tire-slashing spikes mounted to your wheels.
You'd start inside a semi-truck, drive out of it backwards, and at the end of the level, the truck would re-appear and you have to drive into it again.
‘Spy Hunter’? It was on a whole bunch of platforms.
YES, that's it!
Yeah this one was easy. I even forgot about the trucks (probably because they weren't there in ‘Super Spy Hunter’, which started as a clone before having been released as a sequel).
Btw, there were sequels ‘SpyHunter’ in 2001 and then 'SpyHunter 2', for PS2/Gamecube/Xbox and desktops — though not with the top-down view.
And there's the 2012 ‘Spy Hunter’ for PS Vita and 3DS. Apparently also with the view from behind, and this time with poor reviews.
Major motion?
