As my neighbor was watching me pull the car out of the garage last night for a test drive in rather brisk, single-digit weather ... I was thinking he probably has a generalized name for me.

They use the term 'Petrol-head' frequently on Top Gear UK, and I have heard the term 'Knuckle dragger' used in a derogatory manner towards car guys. I however, have always considered myself a Hot Rodder.

Why is Knuckle dragger a derogatory term?
