Thanks, guys. 
The car is freaking awesome and insanely fast. I raced a Corvette the other day and could have easily tied or beat him if I was more familiar with the clutch and gearbox. It handles like it's on rails, turns heads every time I drive it, and is most certainly a chick magnet. I actually had one girl race up next to me as we were driving down the road and start waving at me while mouthing, "I like you car!" I always thought that chick magnet thing was just TV/Movie BS. I guess all my other cars just sucked...lol
As for the divorce stuff, I've been moved into my new place for a week now. I'm very happy to be living alone in a clean house again, and my cats love not having to live with her dog. I've tried a few times to throw olive branches out so we can get some closure and civilly discuss separating and moving on with our lives. She keeps finding a reason to be angry with me so she doesn't have to face the fact that this is happening because of her behavior. (Such as when she got mad at me because I didn't set up a bed for her to sleep in when she came back to the house after I moved out. Was I supposed to tuck the sheets in nicely and put a mint on her pillow too?) I've decided that further communication is pointless, and that I'm better off pretending she died and finding my closure in that context.
Emotionally, I still have sad/angry/frustrated moments, but overall I'm doing well. Friends have been keeping me busy, showing me I'm loved, and encouraging me to keep moving on.
As for the smoking, I've cut back significantly over the last few days. I was almost back to a pack a day for about a week, but am down to a few analogs at night now. I expect it's only going to be a few more days before I've kicked them completely again.
And speaking of the good bunch here at EFC...I've been posting in a Z forum, asking questions so I can make informed buying decisions. I've had several people effectively tell me I'm stupid for trying to learn something. It made me think how that type of behavior is not present here and in the rare cases where someone does act that way, they're promptly put in check by us regs.
