Redd,

I got my Kirkham on my 1 year wedding anniversary... now first of all my wife is very understanding and wants me to be happy, but my constant and persistent focus on getting a Kirkham cemented in her mind that is was important to me. I also assured her that it would not keep US from accomplishing anything else that was important to our life.
Then I had to put my effort where my mouth was... I have been remodeling the house for the last 2 1/2 years since taking delivery of the car. So I HAVE a Kirkham but I am not driving a Kirkham. But to me, as I would suspect is the case with many more car guys that is a sacrifice well worth making for successfully getting one of these works of art into ones possession.
Now the house is almost done and the Kirkham will be getting the attention it deserves.
When it comes down to it... when the wife is getting what is important to her, how can she deprive you of what is important to you. As long as it is within your reach.
