Jealousy
I woke up this morning with the sun blazing through the curtains and the sound of the missus ralphing down the toilet and thought scooby day with a cheeky grin on my face. I washed and waxed the missus car first (keep her happy) and then did the scooby and within 5 minutes the neighbour approached me to just insult me saying scooby are for louts and chavs and could not help myself with the reply 'that's why you drive a KA then' if looks could have killed I would be 6 foot under now and I guess I'm asking does anyone else have these problems because jealous people just want a Subaru but cannot afford one ?

My car is a real head turner and i always get one of two looks. lust or disgust. I have only had one neighbour pass a negative comment. He just said nice car but its a bit noisy. My reply was "yeah but sounds nice doesn't it" I then lied to the gimp and told him the car was standard. I figured the man who drives a diesel focus knows naff all about car like an RB320.
The irony was when my car was off the road having an engine build i was approached by at least 4 different people asking where the scooby was. They were complaining of over sleeping and being late for work. Turns out i'm the towns alarm clock. One bloke told me he loves being woken by the flat 4 burble as opposed to an alarm clock lol. Think they would think differently if i was off at 4am every morning.

Only compliments to my face too, probably just being polite
I love the fact that Impreza's divide opinion so much, get so many head turns (and I've got a quiet exhaust too to be fair) when driving through town, I'm sure more than half are followed by an insult or two but if I get people talking - bring it on

There's a guy up my road that's owns some crappy Vectra Sri. If I'm ever out cleaning the scoob, he'll put his foot down as he drives past so ill hear the impressive sound of his ripspeed induction cone. Maybe its his way of saying that his car is as fast as mine, which I guess would be a compliment? Lol!! Or maybe not??

I was out last weekend in my Spec C, I had my nephew in the car with me and was driving through my local town to take my nephew home.
Anyway as I was in traffic I suddenly I noticed a real numpty in an Astra was trying to drive up my exhaust, so I just kept up with traffic but keeping an eye on this bozo.
He followed me all the way to my brother's house (which being in a cul-de-sac meant he had to pass me on his way out), I wound down the window and asked him what he was playing at to which he responded 'I wanted a race to see if I could beat you', I then noticed he had a baby strapped into it's seat.
I then told him to grow up in loose terms, I certainly wouldn't road race and I don't go fast when I've got passengers let alone my nephew.
What is wrong with people? He had a baby in the car with him and he wanted to race?
He even asked me 'How much power have you got?' to which I responded 'Enough to beat you without even trying'.
He then drove off like an absolute pillock through the housing estate just to show me his 'driving prowess'.

My neighbours are pretty cool, and the four that are closest always pop over for a chat when i'm out on the drive doing something to one of the cars, I think they think i'm mad as only a couple of the blokes occasionally wash their cars and i'm always out doing something, but i'm the one they come to when they have problems with anything car or house related so I think they like to keep me on-side because I can fix things.
Out here in Croatia i'm a God like figure when I have the Type R over here, they don't see many scoobs, especially Classics and never 2 doors, it's like having the holly grail of cars, because most are petrol heads and really into their cars, it pulls a crowd where ever I park it and people are always wanting passenger rides and to just sit behind the wheel.
I even gave the local high speed pursuit traffic cop a passenger ride and because he's a cop I was taking it easy, so this nutter's in the passenger seat telling me to go faster, so I drop the hammer and he's giggling like a 15yr old school girl. and super impressed, he's my mate now and always buys me a drink and asks where it is.
But yeah I still get the odd nobber that I can see they feckin hate me and go completely Green with envy, especially when the girls see me and go "oh richie" how are you, in that Very sexy eastern european accent. you have to see it to believe it.
