Question

Due to a Minor Financial problem, i have had to put off my scoob buying for a while.. but It was suggested this morning that I share it with my Mum

But .. to be fair she's never bashed anyting in over 30 years of driving I've never worried about lending her the car in the past.

I've been thinking about this all day and have got to say.. it really does make sense in strange sort of way . I won't leave it at work , so use our Wonderful public transport system, and she would only need it during the day, and for going to work (part time)

Has anyone else ever been in this situation?

I'm thinking a 60/40 split in the costs (So if it ever comes to it, it's mostly mine )

One thing I'd want to consider is vulnerability of your mum when she is driving.

Scoob's are very desirable cars for car thieving scum, and with a women driver I think the car will be more of a target. But at the end of the day if they want to take the car, they'll take it regardless of whether the driver was your mum or The Pope!

Apart from that factor seems an ideal way of getting one.

Spose so, but she wouldn't be driving in the dark, and I will have top security, and anti hijack, as i've had a Car Jacked off me before

I hope you've warned her to expect other scooby owners to flash at her and the local max power lot to race her at every possible opportunity

Go for it!!

Ask Scoobychick, she's shared one quite successfully with her dad (but he might give you a different story ) - until Chris L came along
