Default loans for s/c?

hey guys,
ok, now i know the credit card people are the devil after wehat they sent me today. apparently i am a preffered customer because i pay over the minimum all the time but keep buying things and paying them off with it. they sent me a PRE-APPROVED loan for up to $7500. this could buy me a supercharger and some lca's, and a whole bunchja other stuff. is taking a loan for something like that retarded? i need to know if its the most horrible idea in the world or not. i cant make the decision on my own because i am intoxicated on the possibility of gettin fi. lol

i'm pretty sure that if you go with
a saleen VI, you'll be able to use
your current air intake

as for buying the s/c on credit.....use
your own good judgement

It's a stupid purchase. If you can afford to make the payments, then you can afford to save up the money. Why throw away money on interest for something you don't need? Because it's the American way?

A S/C is never a stupid purchase. Why save for something you can have today. C'mon where's your microwave mentality here. GO GET IT NOW!!!

Is it a fixed low interest rate? How much disposable income do you have every month? Just remember to factor in how much interest you'll pay. That $5,000 supercharger will quickly become a $6,000 supercharger.

I would be sure to check and double check the interest rate and other fine print. I get these things all the time and normally the interest rates are in the 20% range or start low and then jump up there after a few months.
