Impulse Purchases

Now this is what I call an Impulse purchase:

My friend went to Oshkosh to buy the new Auto-Airplane combo that was there somewhere. He found out they had 80 orders ahead of him, and that his delivery date was at least two years out.

So, he went over to the Husky tent instead and bought their new “Back Country” model that was on display. They delivered it to Ohio and he is now checked out. I think we may get some new paint for the next series of Greg’s videos??

Re: Impulse Purchases

I bought two t-shirts and a mug at Oshkosh. Usually I buy only one t-shirt.

Surely though you've been witness to a few impulse purchases of some bushwheels, I was ready to pony up to a set after the quick onset of a small-tire complex at the BCP fly in.
