Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....

You say thank you and move on. No need for any awkwardness.

I had some very close friends (H&W) back in the 70's who were in the ministry. I would offer to buy their lunch from time to time. They always declined. One day I told them: "you know, I think the only thing that would keep you from accepting a gift from me is your pride" Wife said: "After further thought, we graciously accept. Thank you."

We all need help from time to time, in many different ways.
