Here is a primer on how NOT to post on a car site:
1) Arrogance - no one cares if you need your car to assist in your self-esteem. When my friend was driving my car, someone complimented him on it. My friend thanked him. Was I mad because it was *my* car? No. My car is my car; my car is not me.
2) Vagueness - especially in these day of eBay, people have gotten smarter. If you don't lay all the cards on the table, you're not likely to get a fool to bite. People shy away from holes in the story. They don't want to be taken.
3) Threatening - your PM to me shows what kind of person you are. I won't take threats sitting down, but I'm not going to get sucked into it either. And, if you want to post my PM response to your threat, feel free. You probably noticed I exhibited the grace that you should have offered from the get-go.
I may be somewhat young, and lord knows I have a lot of learning in life, but one of the things I've learned is to judge your audience. A "stranger" coming in here, adjusting his pants and full of arrogance, is not going to engender good relations with others, especially since the Net is an imperfect communication tool. So I recommend you to come clean, apologize, and consider this a lesson learned. Good luck with your car.
