It's hard to believe this without the experience to back it up, but the idea is that taking loans for a good investment is okay (Think: education, a house, a well priced, dependable car with low mileage, etc).

But you know how you always see people on the forums trying to unload their modded Subarus or going back to stock so they can sell the car, etc? Most of the time, they bought parts with their credit card, paid interest for some number of months/years and then realized how stupid it is to pay interest on thousands of dollars every month because you can't afford the shit you bought, and finally bailed with nothing to show for the experience except hopefully they learned their lesson.

A tune can be a very good investment if the alternative is a crappy running car, but just don't be that guy...
