Yes, this Girlie Man would love to take everyone else's recreational opportunities away merely because he is so much of a sissy that he is frightened of the Vroom-factor.

I know academics like this....they have never opened the hood of their own cars and bring the car to the dealer at every maintenance interval, and perhaps because of their knowledge of their own inadequacies, they have a very low opinion of anyone who is mechanically inclined or skilled....they justify their technological incoherence and fears by convincing themselves that their intellectual superiority places them above such mundane and lowbrow tasks.
