I felt terrible about it. I had it completely fixed with new parts when he got home, and I was still apologetic for months. Very Embarrassing! Hell, I still feel bad about it.

You kinda gotta let that stuff slide every once in a while (so long as it's not persistent).
Many years ago I released the parking brake on my brothers Prelude (didn't have the keys) to roll it down the driveway a bit, it ended up hitting my mother's car doing damage to both I did try to turn the steering wheel as it was rolling, but of course the wheel was locked.

My dad watched me do it, and then replied with "oooh, you're in trouble now" with a grin on his face.

My brother wouldn't let that one go for many, many years.

You are misunderstanding what I said (typed)...

I don't think your next logical step should be a Corvette, there's nothing wrong with them as a car.
