In the last 9 months my father has purchased three new vehicles. He had a 2014 expedition then decided he needed more money in his bank account so he bought a 2015 Kia then he decided it was too small and he was a truck man and needed a truck and now he has purchased a 2013 Ford F 150 with all the bells and whistles.we have tried to limit his driving because it's pretty scary and we may have to go the route of reporting an unsafe driver to the DMV but this behavior and the purchasing of new vehicles just doesn't make sense. He hasn't been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's so I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing with their parent and what to do about it.

If you feel he is an unsafe driver, report that to DMV. Think how absolutely devastated you would feel if he were involved in a serious accident, especially if someone dies as a result of him still driving beyond a time when it is safe.
Keep an eye on his actions. If his strange actions are limited to playing musical vehicles that is odd but not dangerous. If other odd things become apparent, it would be time to have a medical evaluation done, in my opinion.
Is THAT unusual?
