My dad was pretty good about that kind of thing.

I broke the Chevelle one time as a teenager (blew the front pump seal of the trans) and left it at the end of the driveway, hemorrhaging automatic transmission fluid into the street.

"I was driving it hard" I confessed, quietly.

After what seemed like a long pause he said "that's Ok. I drive it hard, too".
