this doesn't have as much to do with us being immature etc as it does have to do with how the OP has handled the situation.
take this for example, shadow2x, who many of you have probably read, had his wheels almost stolen twice, is quite young. he came on here and started this thread:
Graduation Z The kneejerk response of many members here to young Z owners who get the car as a gift is to rag on them and be like 'AH YOU DONT DESERVE THIS BLA BLA BLAH' but he showed that he was a nice, appreciative guy. He didn't come on being like 'hey yall bitches, i gotz a Z for free yall had to pay for it suck it!' he made it clear he appreciated what he had, and despite the fact that he was young and got the car as a gift, EVERYONE here treated him with respect.
This guy on the other hand, did not handle this situation properly. If you don't want to have forum members criticize your personal life, don't bring it into the situation. On multiple occasions you mentioned your wife and how she is making you sell the car.

Obviously we signed the title, so it is a "used"/new car. I know it is not worth the MSRP of it, but I do know what this thing goes for on the open market. Shoot me an offer, atleast one better than the last jerk, and we can talk from there. .

You are only inviting criticism and berratement about your situation when you make posts that imply your wife is the devil woman who yells at potential buyers if they come up short of your asking price. Honestly, from the quote above, i pictured the flames of hell in the background, and your wife wielding a pitch fork. In all honesty, your wife is probably a really nice, well intentioned, realistic woman, who knows that this sports car isn't right for your family. But you're the one who brought her into this and made her sound so terrible, not us.
to be quite honest, a lot of the criticism does come from jealousy from most members. People are jealous that you won this car, that we all either PAID for, or want really badly, and you can't/don't want to keep it. FINE, no one is criticizing that fact. But by coming on here and asking TOP dollar for your FREE car, and portraying your wife as a devil woman, you attract only criticism, and no reasonable offers for your car.
honestly, it really seems like this
Guy1: Damn! my wife is being so unreasonable
guy2: its ok man, she's probably well intentioned
guy1: no man, she's being really a b1tch!
guy2: oh... sounds like she is being a b!tch then
Guy1: WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY WIFE!?
bottom line. don't come onto an enthusiast forum, asking top dollar for a car you won for free. if you want top dollar, don't say you won the car for free. Also, don't criticize and imply bad things about people in your personal life, on a public forum, and then be pissed if other people criticize them too.
