So, getting back to the car: Why was the gentleman afraid to drive it? Was he afraid of breaking something or of wrecking the car? Would this would be a reason to buy a "driver" rather than a trailer queen.

I'm not sure. My guess is since he is a large man, he just wasn't comfortable in it. Bob's theory is he just liked tinkering with stuff, not actually using it.
