Trust me, going alone isn't all that much fun and going to the same car show week after wek gets old.
Agree here - the Kirkham is a great car but it is a Cobra - coarse, loud, smells like gas and requires constant respect. IRS notwithstanding it is not a Corvette. My wife does not like riding in it. So be careful before you buy. Make sure it is really going to work for you. And I sympathize with the decisions you are trying to make. Get what works for you and your wife even if it is not a Cobra....
