I wish my Dad were still here to make an honest mistake like that! There will be other trips and a Vette is just a car but you only get one dad.
Missing my Dad, DAVE

That sucks,, but I'm sure it was not your dad's intention to ruin your tape. Just remember when you were a kid and all the trouble you got yourself into. Your dad was still there for you,, be nice,, you still have the car and the memories.

Dave please clear out some of your PMs as you are full.

Cali Kid, the Forum has spoken wisely. The recorded moment is lost, but please don't make your Dad feel any worse than I'm sure he already does. Congrats on the milestone in ownership.

Sorry the taped memories are gone, but I'm sure your Dad feels bad enough about it. Just go out and make some new memories with the car and give your Dad a hug.

Did you ever mess up anthing of your Dad's? Was he and did he remain furious? Did he tell over 100,000 people about it?

Although most of us want our Dad's to be Super Heroes, the fact is the vast majority are mere mortals and make mistakes.

Sorry you lost the tape, but those are like long weekend trips from your location. Sounds like you need to go back and retake the pics. I can't think of a better reason to go on a roadtrip.
