Did Nadeau buy a Hummer?

[maxanne]

I heard a rumor that Justin Nadeau bought a Hummer "on impulse." Anyone know if it's true?

1. Yes...it's true.

Yes, it is!

Here's the quote:

Nadeau said what’s needed is a federal policy that wil* wean us off dependence on foreign oil." However, he seemed somewhat embarrassed when it was revealed that he owns a Hummer H2 sport utility vehicle.

He bought it, he explained, because it was an American car, adding that he hasn’t driven it in months.

"It was an impulse buy," he said.

An impulse buy? A Milky Way is an impulse buy. The Dropkick Murphys CD I picked up at Newbury Comics was an impulse buy. A Hummer isNOT an impulse buy, you schmuck!

By the way, a new Hummer H2 goes for around $60,000. Must be nice to be able to make that sort of an impulse buy...

I feared as much. What a putz. I wonder if he has a booster seat for it.
