Tearing things up is part of the program when you are a hot rodder...at least you have a block to work with..wait till you kick a rod out the side of a engine that holds a NHRA national record and see how it feels .. .. it comes with the territory sir..if turning wenches is not your thing you may be in the wrong hobby ..

Good luck to you sir..it sounds like you just got tired of it seeming like there is no light at the end of the tunnel...sometimes it gets like that and as human beings we over react .. back when I was being a hard core racer..and this was decades ago when I was a young guy..we changed out the engine, then transmission, and finally the rear end at the race track..broke all three at Englishtown at the Summer Nationals...pieced it all back together won my class and then red lighted in the semi-finals of the Eliminator..loved that kind of stuff..ya gotta be stronger than the dirt ya deal with.. keep the faith man.. 
PS Keep the orange Z28 .. it is the best kind of car .. its paid for .. plus I love the way those orange cars look ..
