Even better, I found this linked proudly off his own website .

Note that he doesn’t say anything bad about the “neoclassics”, but that’s
not
what he drives. Presumably, he secretly has enough good taste. He’s found a niche and perfected it - apart from getting shot in the ass.

“How are things at your end?” is a butt joke?

This may be a reference to his gunshot wound.

He found a cure for back pain...
Frankenstein Neoclassics cause headaches and self eye gouging.
Replicas are okay.

I understand why people would tease him about that, but “How are things at your end?”
Unless it was accompanied by sniggering, I don’t see that as a butt joke.

It’s like he doesn’t have a train of thought, just random thoughts that pop into his head as he speaks

Dude has a legit point though in his reply to “a lot of enthusiasts think neoclassics are dorky”
everything else is butt-shot bat-shit crazy

Could have at least put a cool Excalibur behind him instead of that blue thing.

I’m still much more confused by his response to what he drives on the street.

Which part? The James Bond part? Where he abused his viper because Obama won? The pointless mention of 150 hand guns in his collection?

I think Neoclassics are significantly dorkier than fiberglass t-buckets, but that’s just me. Replica D-Types and those kinds of vehicles would be nice though.

There is a big difference between neoclassics and replicas. Replicas follow the shape of the original car, something special enough it was worth making a copy of. Neoclassics try and stretch that shape over a modern cabin with little regard for what made the original so special . So the proportions are completely whacked out on neoclassics, making them look “dorky”
I think the two cars in the middle of this image from his website sum it up:

This comes down to (As usual) a case of who cares? If someone is into it, good for them. I like this better than hellaflush cars with tires about to pop and wheels about to snap off because at least they seem like they aren’t designed to be intentionally less functional vehicles.

Valid point. I was just pointing out the why of people thinking they are dorky, not making a value statement on whether it is okay to like them or not.

ALSO a valid point.
He’s still butt shot crazy

a fiberglass 27 with a big block is better and faster than a original 27 a fake MG on a volkswagen pan is not.

True, but it’s all a matter of perspective, if someone likes it, might as well let them go like it.
