Dealing with a negative family member…or a person who just likes to put you down

Does your brother have a older car? If he his does race his *** and kick it. I think all of us could be of assistance. Then one day in front of everyone asked what happened.
He has had several projects, currently an 83 S10. I also have had several, but since we only have talked sparingly over the years until he decided to reach back out to family on a more regular basis, this is the first vehicle he has known about.
