My take on his opinion did not relate to the future of Hot Rodding.  I understood his argument of old (already build) cars having less of an environmental impact than the energy needed to build new ones.  But that's not really a new point of view, it's been around since California established a Cash for Clunkers law years ago.  Does it make it any less valid?  Within his stated argument no.  A point which could be added though, is: The average age of the automotive fleet in the US on the road today is the oldest in history.  IMO this indicates there a lot of cars which are in need of replacement.
