The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He spells custom with a 'k.'
    He bought James Dean's wrecked Porsche and displayed it at car shows. (Allegedly for safety purposes.)
    He said that if his first kid was a boy, he would name him XM 140. (The child was a girl; they named her Joji.)
    He has falsely claimed to have created the Monkeemobile, Herbie the Love Bug, and the DeLorean time machine from 'Back to the Future.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    When he was three, he and his brother moved to California to live with relatives after the death of their mother.
    Many of his designs became popular model kits for Revel, Aurora and AMT.
    He converted a Lincoln Futura show car into the Batmobile in only three weeks.
    He appeared on 'Monster Garage,' customizing a pair of Cadillac hearses.
