Question Female Scooby Drivers

Hi all,

Been in the scooby impreza ownership for 2 months now - love every minute of it!!

Hardly see other scooby drivers around or if I do I just get a shocked look from the men!

Starting to think am I the only female scooby driver and maybe should I of got something diffrent which girls drive?

My Fiance wont even allow herself to be a passenger in mine.
Suits me as it keeps the miles down by using her car instead.

My mrs loves driving mine. Mind you she has no choice if I'm away with work as it's our only car. She isn't to confident in the snow but that's where I step and be the good husband hahaha.

See quiet a few women with Evo's around where I stay and subarus.

Just enjoy it.

Your not the only one, my better half drives our wagon all the time (skool run etc) yes she gets funny looks from plenty of other scoob owners.
funny thing is she isnt scared of sticking her toe down from time to time either

+1 the guys around here think they can blow her away but she just floors it and leaves them standing. The look on their face is brilliant!

Although fully insured on mine, My wife will not touch it with a barge pole as she says it cramps her style..... She much prefers to get stuck in the snow in her Mini Cooper.
Quite a few Lady drivers of Impreza's here in North Notts

Hey Helen,

I know what you mean, we are just getting our second Subaru (not had one for a couple of years), and my current daily is a Nissan S15 - you do get strange looks, and unless other girls are into cars, they do find it hard to understand why you would have one.

The number of us ladies driving performance cars is slowly increasing - if you love it, keep it and be different.....different is good!

Can't fault you + one

My Wife hates driving my car as she is a little afraid of it, i think its because she knows i love it so much.

She does go on about how much it cost etc.. Then when i do make her drive it after a day she comes barging into the house like a possessed woman saying "i just nailed an m3 on the duel carriageways" ... Since then I drive

I did see a lady driving a nice dark blue bug yesterday in Cwmbranasatn who gave a great wave back

another female scoob owner here

My scoob is the latest in a long line of quick cars (Golf Gti, golf R32, evos) and I can't imagine having to drive anything other than cars like these.
