Are car-related dealbreakers just emotional shields to avoid getting hurt?

I'm not sure what you mean by car related deal breakers. Like what type a car someone drives?

If that is your question then no. I don't have a fancy car. I wouldn't expect someone to have anything extravagant.

So you meant that the answer is "yes". The car is just an excuse.

If you read my opinion the first sentence I explain that I was not sure if that is what Mr @scott04sa22 meant or not-

I thought so, but I wanted to be clear.

Car-related dealbreakers are usually emotional armor. Saying “no old cars” or “no beat-up hatchbacks” often masks deeper fears: financial instability, lack of ambition, or fear of repeating past trauma. It’s safer to reject the car than risk falling in love and getting hurt. The car is the excuse, not the real red flag.
