what does your better half think of your scoob?
My wife is a bit of a badge snob and absolutely hates my MY04 WRX. She says that it has no status and looks like something out of Max Power for chavs (sorry to use the term)
Personally, I don't give a crap.
What do your partners think of your pride and joys?

Mine loved my last one and was gutted when I started looking at non-Scoobs to replace it. Everytime a viewed a car she was very non-committal, you know the old "well, it's up to you".
When we went to view the bugeye that is my current Scoob she just looked at me and said "buy it".

My missus loves the noise turbo makes when it comes on boost, it`s effortless overtaking, it`s good roadholding. But hates it`s boy racer looks, and thinks all us scoobynetters, and wavers are sad
. And she refuses to wave if she gets to drive it, after she has been put on the insurance.

Our lass hates the way it eats up more money than the cars i've blown shed loads of cash on in the past 
You cant please some lasses can ya, you get shot of a car coss your borred with it and you've spent enough time, blood sweat and cash on it, move onto the next one and theyre still not happy
If I owned a Yaris or something it would still get modded to the high hilt
But I can handle it!!!

My mum says my dad's scooby is too small. She does drive a Volvo V70 most of the time though
She loves the way she can get into the tightest gaps from a standstill in 50mph traffic though

My other half is more concerned about me getting nicked for speeding than about what the car is like!!
She does like to drive it though, but her attitude towards me buying it was @It's your money, it's up to you"

My wife...............
loves the Scoob...I went on the Classic Ford Tour to France and Belgium in th MK 1 RS 2000 and then straight on to Chicago just after buying this one.
When I returned there were over 450 miles on the Scoob.
She even took my lad to Japfest in the Scoob whilst I was away.
If I am not driving it and she wants to go out she jumps straight in.
She does better mpg than me.

When I first got the Scoob, took the GF out for a spin. Pressed the loud peddle a couple of times on a twisty country road.
1st response, "Foooooooooook".
2nd response, "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit".
She loves it. Asked if she could have a go.
My reply, "Errr, no."
