Work another year and buy a Kirkham or Retire?

[Dwight]

I wanted to retire at 62 but had to wait till I was 64 1/2 because of the economy.

I'll turn 71 next month and love being retired.

So my advice is "buy a finished Kirkham and drive it."

A lot of guy died way to young. The older we get the less time we have to enjoy toys.


Tommy has it figured out.

But he won't. He already doesn't drive the one he has. A change in color and composition probably won't change that.

... yep, anymore than if I went out and bought a new pair of cleats, glove, bat, and cap. Those days have passed me by... just like a warm summer's day. You just have to let 'em go.

Geezus, it's the 1st day of Summer, go out an buy a new pair of cleats, glove, bat and cap and join a "beer league." You guys sound like you're ready to buy some burial plots right about now.

Personally, I'd like to "go out" running thru the tape at a finish line of a race and I'll probably work until I croak, just like everyone in my family. What's so great about retirement anyway? Buy a motorhome and go see faces carved into a rock? Fly to Paris to see a really big tower or an oil painting in a museum?

BTW, whatever happened to the other guy who was debating between buying a Cobra or a motorhome?

Work the extra year and buy the Kirkham. You can always sell it, there are so few on the market.
