Better about what, I'm not sure; must be some need to feel superior to the low-lifes that enjoy the targeted interest. I guess a guy like me that likes fast cars, big motorcycles, and guns has heard this on all three fronts. That's fine; I can live with that. Like I said, it's just a hobby I enjoy. If it has some kind of phalic symbolism for you, then I'm glad we both find something we can enjoy in it.

Actually, his reference is much more revealing than that.
