I have to agree with those saying make whole. Hopefully that can be done by repairing it, if not, and it was me, I'd buy him another one.

I've been in this situation twice. The first time was in my cousin's Fiat X1/9. I didn't notice the temp gauge off the scale even though I knew it was a fresh rebuild. I trashed the engine and I didn't take responsibility and I've regretted it ever since. I was young and learned from this mistake.

The second time, I borrowed a friends RZ350 and I dropped it off the side stand. When I gave it back and showed the owner the damage, he looked at me first to see where my damage was. I said I dropped so no damage to me. It was only a few hundred dollars to repair, but I took care of it.
