To be honest they are already giving you an out in saying its a Birthday present. *I* would think they really want to spend some time with you and care about you.

Also, the friends I would accept from can afford the cost with no hassles. If it were a close friend and I knew they were not in the best financial situation (in which case, why the hell are they offering), I would not accept simply for that.

They're pretty much my best friends - we all hang out almost every night of the week anymore and they'd never be ones to hang it over my head, I don't think.

think it wouldn't be a big deal (money-wise) for them with the way he spends on his GTR, but I don't like to ever think that way about anyone - I will always feel like I'm indebted to them, even if it's a gift. I guess that's just how I am.
