Hey, not bad. Good for him.
My first husband totaled my car, driving it into a tree while he was drunk and without a license (he was 20, had never had a license because he was from NYC). He paid me back every dime for the blue book value of the car. I believe he started doing it before he got sober, if I recall correctly, but I remember it impressed the hell out of me. (He's the one that stayed sober, and I think that is the sort of thing that kept him that way.)
