As someone who doesn't have cable, or even a TV, I must be really pitied. I'd cry if I actually cared.
People don't put the same values on the same things that you do. I spent a lot of money on a super-efficient fridge. My parents wonder why I don't have a stainless steel side-door fridge with water through the door but I don't particularly value that.
Of course, you know your dad.
(Oh yeah - I think attachment to an 11 year old car is kinda weird too. Spend a little already! )
