Does anyone else's friends, family tell you to sell your Scoob?

For some reason everyone always wants me to sell my dam Scoob

They always say it's too loud, it's not a family car etc etc

Bear in mind I also have a new focus so the Scoob just sits in the garage for the odd weekend blast

And my argument is what is a family car? 4 doors and 5 seats, which is what my blob has lol

Anyone else or just me?

 

Tell them to shut up

 

You're not alone. People say to me more that they are surprised I haven't sold my Spec D after two years. They say it like a "Should be out of your system" type way sometimes.

 

I do mate, I keep waiting for there lovely alternatives, R32 seems to be my cousins choice I keep telling him to go and buy one then

Makes me laugh really, he was trying to get his passat 2.0 diesel modded to get more power than the Scoob

Jealousy I tell ya lol

 

Yep I get it from a few people, my mrs dad is the worst, we've been together 12 years and he hasn't liked any of my cars, Toyota corolla, escort gti, Audi b5 ect, f*ck em, my dad loves the scooby though! I let him take it out yesterday and now he's looking for one to go alongside his 63plate Volvo.

 

I've had my blob for about a year and a half now and I'm no where near bored yet, every other car I owned I honestly got bored within 6 months to a year and always traded them in.

So I can't see me knocking the Scoob in as my toy until I have something that can keep me entertained and put a smile on my face on those hot summer days

My excuse through this winter to the misses has been ah well when it snows you will be glad I have AWD... Never bloody snowed though did it lol

 

My wife tells me to sell mine on a regular basis, she calls it the silly subaru. I love my wife and will do anything for her and would happily sell my impreza......



The day she turns her horses into glue!

 

my wife hates the Impreza, at first she was all like 'bella macchina', and now she is like 'sella ya blardy carra'.... she's Italian but hates loud cars.

 

The only people who suggested I sold my car were some of my work colleagues, but their opinions don't mean a thing to me.

My wife was gutted when I sold my Impreza, and can't wait for me to get the Evo.

 

 

Does anyone else's friends, family tell you to sell your Scoob?....

Yes and I tell them to **** OFF

 

Yeah my dad,never understood my fascination with fast cars and constantly shows his disappointment.
But it's my money and I can do what I damn want

 

Can't you sell the family?

 

My family have Impreza's too, My dad has one, my brother did have one until recently. Most of my friends have them too, Think I have about 10 people in my phone that start of with scooby and then there name after it, so im surrounded by them on a daily bases!!

My missus is the only one who would be happy for me to get rid, but you got more chance of getting rid of her then my car!!!!

 

I sold my tdci focus and went and brought a scooby with out telling other half all in 1 day had no end of remarks about getting rid of a sensible car for a toy. Then i remind her that it has 5 seat a boot so is still a practical car just not on fuel it ur heavy footed. Now I'm happy with my blobwrx as daily drive I've started looking for a classic as a weekend toy.

 

Yeah I do. Although I think it is a touch of jealously. When I got my sti the mrs was over the moon as I surprised her with it lol but she was chatting to the people up the road who said "well its not a family car" and "maybe he should get a sensible one" I went bananas when she told me what they said. As it is a family car its safe and got enough room for me the mrs and the littlen. Also I get fun too!! So its a win win haha oh yeah did I mention these people up the road (who have kids) went out and got a 2 seater rodster!!! Yeah proper family motor that!!!! Haha numpties lol

 

Yeah 2 if my close mates . One is a petrol head so it's ok the other doesn't understand

 

I love the fact my 03 reg is parked up in a sea of brand new audi A6/A7's at work. These guys in the main know nothing about cars. When will people get over the fascination with changing their car every 4 years? That policy was around when my dad used to have a cortina as a company car when if probably DID need changing every 4 years!! My scoob is 11 years old, 97k miles and has always had the ability to put a massive smile on my face on my B road blast to and from work. Never given a **** about the quality of the interior or what people who know nothing think! The engine sound, grip, brakes and damping are enough for me. What an awesome car.

 

My favourite one is when they say, what's the point you can only go 70mph on the motorway.

 

My old man constantly is telling me to sell mine as its a "money pit." He is completely right of course, it is a money pit as I recon I have spent approx £70K on it (including buying it) since I bought it back in 2005.
Still not selling it though

 

£70k! woa that is serious money. I know that inc the cost of the car but daaaang.

 

Yeah I used to get told to sell up and cut my losses lol but after a couple of years and enough money spent on it to buy a small 3 bed house and buying loads of others to run around in they have finally given up and realise I'm always going to own a subaru from now on

 

My wife thinks the subaru is chavvy but she does love driving it when I lend it to her.

 

gf actually bought this debate up with me over dinner

' why dont you sell your car , you dont use it that much .. its only a car '

she just doesnt understand the bond me and cars have

 

Just purchased my 5th Impreza last week and I'm 36yrs old, the family have just given up
Suits me fine

 

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooo surely not, Moley batting for the other side? (if you see what I mean)
You'll be back

 

My mrs hates my type r and calls it the jalopy but likes the blob wagon, I can see why TBH Type R is loud and garish and when I was using it for a daily it did get on my nerves a bit too, all the noise and kidney pounding gets a bit much when your just off to the shops or doing the school run, but get it on track or a b road and all is forgiven.

She's not too keen on how much fuel they use or how many thousands i've spent on the type r over the last 8yrs, can't say i'm too chuffed either, I don't do many miles in the blob and the type r is in bits in the garage but she still says when you going to get rid of the jalopy but I just say it'll be worth good money one day as it's very special and rare.

 

I had a WRX bug for a year that my Mrs used to love. I traded up to my STi and she's really not keen on it. I think her disapproval increases even more with every mod I fit.
Never mind eh?

 

I think that we should call their bluff, just say o.k my love I think I will sell my scooby so I can spend all my time with you instead . My wife would run a mile.

 

Lets take a step back in the thread here....

You sold your STI Moley?

Your getting an Evo?

You have a wife?
