Buying the Honda just to sell it in a month is silly. On the other
hand, if you're looking for an excuse to buy one to keep, this would
be a good rationalization. I wanted one for years, and then when I
had a chance to get one at half price, I convinced my wife we needed
it as backup so a vacation wouldn't be ruined by a bad alternator.
Its sitting in the garage now, looking very manly!

I bought a Honda generator mostly for the fun of it awhile
back--actually, I bought 2 of them and have no regrets. There is a
downside, however, and that's the backbends that you have to do to
prepare it for long-term storage.
