Is the saying this car can't even pull the skin off a rice pudding generally used by older people?

A guy told me that he fitted a tow bar to their car and I asked him if it was the Ford Ecosport and he said "No, that thing couldn't even tow the skin off a rice pudding."

I know what the saying means but is it an old saying that older people use to describe an underpowered car? In this case their Ford Ecosport.
