They do it a differently.... and I respect that

My dad is in his upper 70's, for fathers day I fixed his Gravely rider for him.
I did not get it running right until tonight, but the smile on his face was worth it.
He tried to pay me for the parts, I said no way happy Fathers Day, even though I got it running a day later than planned, I had to wait on parts.

He was always the same way, just keep an auto running enough to get around in.
Heck, I remember driving his 66 Fury when I was in high school, he bought the car new and brought me home from the hospital in it.
He would never sell a car, only trade them in on another new one when mom put her foot down.

She got tired of hauling us kids around in a huge boat 73 Imperial, and wanted something smaller. Dad traded his Fury in on an new 83 Dodge Charger for her, he went back to the dealer the next day to buy his old car back without mom knowing, but the dealer had already sold the car.
But he still has moms old Imperial, sitting nice and safe in the garage, it has not moved since mom passed away 33 years ago.
