Father and his family topic here, so I will post here instead.
My dad and father-in-law are not car enthusiast, but somehow they like to keeps all the old shitty vehicles.
My dad
87 Carrera (rust and won't start), 92 Protege (leaky brake), 94 C230K (just fixed the broken tranny), 96 Nissan Serena (broken CVT), 02 735iL (not insured).
My father-in-law
15 motorcycles (bought them used), 4 cars
They are both in their 60s, for sure these cars are part of their memory where they grew up with them. We are not really appreciated them owning all these vehicles as they are taking up space and very expensive to keep it registered (remember we are living in HK). My dad, in particular, has his own daily commuter already, so these are just his "toys". I mean, if he knows how to keep them in good condition, we won't complaint about him keeping these toys, but some of them are quite dangerous to be on the road. Such as the brake master cylinder on the Protege is leaking, and the tranmission on the C230 doesn't go to 2nd gear frequently etc.
They go mad everytime we talk about getting rid of these cars, it is hurting the family relationship. What should we do really? Are all men in their 60s become more stubborn?
