This is a congruent conflation of “up my alley” and “in my wheelhouse”, both phrases meaning something matching one’s interests or abilities in someone’s comfort zone. Location seems to be the culprit here, with “up” and “in” getting confused. A big, big, thanks to the Duke of Malaphors, Mike Kovacs, for seeing this one and passing it on.
Malaphors 
Imagine how Rudy would have interpreted this Malaphor.
he would have of course said, “I’d like to up her wheelhouse”.
Ouch. That’s all I’m gonna say about that: Ouch.
