Tell her the trauma of losing your job, the stress of starting a new job and losing your scoob could be too much for you to cope with

Tell the Mrs:

A) that the car is for work use only - not SDP
B) that she's not insured on it

Then keep the Scoob

Preumably you are on some sort of probationary period. What if the job doesn't work out, then you'll be without a car. You definitely need to keep the scoob for a month or so until you're sure you are staying with this company.

Tell her to shut up, get her fat @rse back in the kitchen and make you something to eat. Your the man, and you make the decisions not her.

That'll do it

keep the scoob as i have told here that shifting it at the moment will be very difficult!!!
plus she actually admitted that she enjoys driving the scoob which is a bonus bad thing is when im drivng it i never see anyone to acknowledge, whenever im out in her car i always see people to acknowledge!!
