Just had a giggle at the article in the link below:

Tuning is a waste of money: Tell Me I'm Wrong - PistonHeads
There are other points in there if you keep reading."tuning doesn't actually improve many cars. Manufacturers spend millions getting their engineering right, and fiddling about with it can ruin everything."
i got to this part and stopped reading. Its the same old argument again and again.
manufacturers spend millions designing a car for the masses, comparing this to the changes we make for ourselves is comparing apples and oranges.
These articles / arguments all go the same way and miss the point entirely.
If there's 1 (or 2) things I love to argue about it's this.You could be doing something else that's actually bad for you like drinking or smoking.
Ye true.To be fair, property development is also fun whilst being profitable at the same time.
AgreeI can actually see where he's coming from. I've done several big builds, but this time, I'm taking the softly, softly approach and making sure it's all reversible.
Not a bad article, really.
As you said later, its a hobby....A lot of that I actually agree with.
It's fine, as long as you go into it with your eyes open.
With what I spent on my MY11 in a year that I didn't get back when it sold I could have covered the depreciation for three years on a new one.

Must remember that!!! :clap:If there's 1 (or 2) things I love to argue about it's this.
1) You waste thousands on smoking, drink and drugs a year.. Yet I'm an idiot for spending money on my car (that FYI will last a whole lot longer than your high then hangover, put together x 1,000)
2)
Girl - "Why is your car so low? It's so impractical"
Me - "Why do you wear stupidly high and skinny heels, surely they're just as impractical?"
Girl - "......"
Me - "Because I think a low car looks good, just like you think you look good (trying) to walk in heels"
Girl - "That's different!"
Oh really... Is it now :clap::wavey:
It's like any hobby.
You just have to be comfortable that every penny you put into it is done for the enjoyment, not for any chance of seeing a return.
If you can do that, then I think it's fine.
