Scooby Net, What Does That Really Mean?
This is not a trick question.
I have been on this Site for a little while now and, to be fair, like all Sites you have your good and bad days and, in the main, I find it helpful, especially with the charchacters and stuff.
However, I've noticed a bit of a slant towards Imprezas.
EG, "What Scooby do you Drive?"
You go on to poll & it asks, what Impreza do you have? etc.
Is this the Scooby Net, as in ALL Subarus, be it Justy, Legacy, Outback, Impreza, Forester??
If it is the Impreza Net, then it should be made clear.
Think about it, if you had an Impreza and, all the posts were about Legacy's etc, how would you feel?
Also, SN Moderators n' stuff, can we have clarification as to what this Site is all about?
Thanks.
By the way, I have 2 Foresters.
Regards
Alan MaC

Was going to say scooby was a term used for subaru originally, not impreza.
But I can see alan's point it is called scoobynet althou there are other subarus here it caters more towards the majority, which are impreza's of some description or another.

If you feel left out you could always start a "what Forester do you drive" thread 
But the Impreza guys might feel left out then
But hey IMO a Scooby is a Scooby what ever model it is

Thanks for the posts, supporting that no matter waht Subaru you drive, they are ALL Scoobs.
It would be intesting if the SN Managaement would offer an opinion??

I come from way, way back in the beginning ....
Due to the Gold Wheels which were all the rage at that time SN started as 'Bent Cos Yo' BBS ......... when people objected the Webmaster of that time was Infracted and banned.
An Anagram of 'Bent Cos Yo' is 'Scoobynet' ...... and here we are now
And that's a true story

1. Colin McRae won his first rally in a Legacy
2. The new Impreza is a total dogs dinner compared to the Legacy
3. No I don't have a legacy
P.S. Agree that if someone says Scoob that it does mean the Impreza

as said already,before the impreza came out,subaru were really a nobody in the car industry..they actually started in the Aviation industry..But because of the impreza and the world rally,with the late colin mcrae (God Bless) putting subaru on the map,in the early 90's..It basically started from the impreza range m8...

So where do you think it's gone wrong for subaru lately.It has gone a little side tracked over the last two three years..ok mcrae left and went to ford.Burns sadly passed away,so subaru has gone through a rough patch in the last few years..you cant say that petter dont put his heart and soul into racing..ive seen the guy race,and he is dedicated..It always seems that the car lets him down in some way..

As has been posted, Colin raced other Subarus, Legacy, ( I don't know about the Justy).
To me it is all about SUBARUS, no matter what Model.
It is the Colin Convoy in August, It will be intersting to se what different models are there.

The section on this site entitled "ScoobyNews" contains articles about ALL Subarus for reference - Foresters, Legacys, the lot. I guess that shows what the site owners think.

Scooby is a chav term for a Subaru Impreza as far as I'm concerned.
..it may have been a coolish tag 10 years ago or so,but now it's so totally lame it just makes me cringe

Now it's kind of amusing that a community can laugh at itself in a cheesey sort of way. Come on, nobody takes the term seriously do they... lol

Shame you have all been blanked from post 13, as it gives the definitive answer
"I come from way, way back in the beginning ....

WTF...
Subaru came to prominance with the launch of the Legacy, for those of you old enough to remember it, before that they were worthy but dull farmers car with the out of kilter with the rest of the range, but very low powered, turbo's as a sideline.
Look at the reviews and the percieved re-launch of Subaru in rallying with the Legacy in 1990, a completely all new car/engine/chassis vehicle that moved subaru into a new market segment for them.....later came the Impreza as a smaller, narrower and HEAVIER Legacy QC turb, now extract crania from cavity and engage brain!
