Reading your comments, I think you have a good outlook. I wonder if you might feel really good about the whole car thing if you just bought a 350 with cash. no help from the parents, just stand on your own two feet and buy that because it's what you can afford straight up. There's no way around the idea that you are buying a $45K 370 is funded in part because you have dad's help. The more at this stage in life that you can do on your own, with your own cash, the better in the long run for your confidence.

That's just my 2 cents.
