Bogg, having been going through something very similar for the past few months, I imagine that this has a lot to do with how you're feeling. Very few people can understand or remember how something like this feels at the very moments they were going through it. Because of that, most people just end up making comments and giving their advice from the perspective of someone who is long past it. In other words, they'll say things like "plenty of fish in the sea", or "you'll get over it", or "don't worry about it". As I've stated, I'm going through something very similar to you, and I realise that those things can often only serve to make you feel like others are belittling your situation and that they don't understand. I also know that the whole thing can leave you on edge, irritable, miserable and feeling either hopeless or that the deck is completely stacked against you (e.g., your comment about nothing going your way since the incident with your girl).
My point is that I DO understand how you're feeling, and I can also relate to the fact that you said your only real enjoyment and happiness lately is coming from your car. At times like these, you need embrace whatever makes you happy and make the most of it. I think that also includes participating here with others who enjoy their cars just as much as you do. You're entitled to vent, and sometimes people don't realise your frustrations and comments can be amplified by your situation. Try not to let the thread being locked bother you, and also just try to be a little more aware of how your personal feelings can affect your comments or actions as you work through this time in your life.
Feel free to shoot me a PM or an e-mail if you ever feel like it too. But stick around.
