Point is its ridiculousness which ever point of you you use as you look at it subjectively. Objectively, its 18 year old receives 5 year old car for graduation. Blowing it up either direction isn't very productive.
In short nobody should care OP got a 30k car. It happens a 1000 times a day in the US where a kid gets a car on graduation. MANY of those are worth more than 30k.

I agree. OP sounds like an excellent student, focused on a career in Medicine. I'm going to take an educated guess and speculate that he has never been in any serious trouble, and is respectful of his parents. I also suspect that his parents reward him for outstanding performance in school, but would also drop the hammer on him if he made a serious screw up.
All sounds good to me. Let's see some photos of the car.
