How about

It looks like it was coated in glue then dragged backwards though Halfords.

Cannot credit the originator as i cannot emember who it was but it made me laugh.

TBH i think it was said of an EVO but works fo a Scoob IMHO

Or how about this, not a Scoob but i like it
Friend of mine gets a Vectra 2.6SRI co car, a client has a Fararri 355 Spider, they are chatting about cars and such, mate mentions his new Vectra. Client replies "Whats a Vectra?"

Sister-in-law stepped outside after dinner last night and said "oooh - is that your new car?"
paused to wander across and inspect close up, then remarked
"is it a FORD" ?!

Mmm - perhaps this is taking my Silver Steath Wagon theory a tad too far.

Wife still laughing this morning

My last car was a BMW 328 convertible.
A couple of weeks after getting the scoob, I saw a freind of the family (she's in her 50's). She came towards me with sympathetic look and asked if that was my car. When I said yes, she touched my shoulder and said "Don't worry, things will pick up again".
Most people I see think I've had a downturn in my luck to be driving the scoob!

The plus part is, I don't get the 'you w4nker' looks anymore.
Infact I'm surprised at the amount of positive attention I get in the scoob.

It was indeed the Evo and not the Scoob and the words came out of the one and only Jeremy Clarkson.

I spent a small fortune turning my first scooby sport into a turbo look-a-like Then i see a mate i havent seen for ages and he says "Nice car, you should modify it

Sort of put it all into perspective Ive got a real turbo now LOL.

Oh and i remember once, had my car in for paint and the guy drove it back to me. His exact words...

I thought the engine was missing until i drove it... bloody fast arent they!!!

Giving my fiancee's grandmother a lift home she said "oo, this is nice - what is it?"
"It's a Subaru" replied the fiancee
"A what?"
"A S-u-b-a-r-u"
"A Sunny-D? I'll look on the back when I get out"

5 minutes later...
"A Sunny-D Implenda?"

I replied, "Didn't know Morris DID 350bhp diesels"

Mine seems to get accused of being a Nissan.

A bloke I used to work with said it looks like a Nissan Sunny. Then, several weeks ago I made the mistake of driving into Leicester Square on a Saturday night. On leaving, at around 1am, I was trying to navigate the narrow roads swarming with pissed-up people, when a young bloke showing off to his mates punched my spoiler while loudly proclaiming, "look at the stupid spoiler on the back of this Nissan". Still, never seen anyone move as fast as he did when the reversing lights went on...

I parked mine in a multi storey the other evening and as I was getting out a parking warden approached me and said - Nice car, is that one of the Kyahs? I was looking a bit confused at her and explained that it was a SUBARU... then it dawned on me that she meant KIA...

Oh, yeah, I forgot the comments on the handle.

Last week, a girl at work described my Scoob as having a "shopping trolley handle".

My poor Scoob is getting a complex.

Never mind, I still love it.
