A thread title in here yesterday made me laugh as it made me realise what makes us Scoob enthusiasts different to most other car fanatics so I got to thinking what traits do we have that make us stand out from the norm?
So let's list them up here![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
My starter is, as I said inspied, by yesterday's thread
When Scoob owners have an engine failure we see it as an opportunity to mod for bigger power rather than the end of the world. Nowhere else will you here the expression 'Excellent, my engine has failed... now I can go for big power' LOL!
Over to you

And here I am thinking I'm the only one with a stack of secret receipts

I'm now trying to work out how to buy, hide and fit a FMIC without declaring it or letting her see it

Anyone got any bright ideas?

OP, Its quite simple
The crowd worry how much petrol their Scoob is using (and should really sell and buy a Derv Diggler) but enthusiasts don't give it a second thought....... now wheres the nearest petrol station

Makes me think of a pal who was in the navy and called on the doctor:
Dr asked how much he drank, pal gives a weekly consumption half of the true figure. Dr says "You'll suffer liver liver failure in 5 yrs at that rate!"![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Scoob ownership involves seeking out an especially tolerant partner. I found an Aussie gal whose male pals when she was a teenager all had classic STis and WRXs back in Oz. She doesn't mind me hooning around for 5 mins as long as it doesn't make her sick!

Honesty is always best............... and avoids even bigger arguments in future when the truth is discovered ![Lol1](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/lol1.gif)
That + having a tolerant wife.
Females, even blondes are not as dumb as we like to think/hope !!!!!!
especially if they used to work in a bank and you have joint accounts !! Doh !

That strange whine from the near side seat - "slow down", "I wish you would tell me when you are going to boot it", "you don't really need that", "you don't realise how uncomfortable that is when you go over bumps" .........
Any more ?

Driving without the radio/cd on, so you can listen to the wonderful sound your scoob makes, and/or listen in case there is anything that might need attention or tweaking.
Buying bits just in case you might upgrade in the future, then buying something bigger/better before you get a chance to fit it.
Having a garage full of different alloys and a spare room full of different seats and interiors.
Looking up youtube vids to find that perfect exhaust note you want.
Getting up in the middle of the night and looking out on your drive to just marvel at how good the scoop and the wing look. Getting up in the am and looking out and smiling - defo helps improve my day. When you lose a scoob and she is no longer on your drive it is genuinly painful to look at your drive and you simply must get another!
Just thinking its a hobby and not an obsession.
Oh and getting a subaru jacket for your grandson cos you know you'd get called a plank if you wore one yourself.

I've owned the car since 07 and I still catch myself looking out before I go to bed/middle of the night/first thing in the morning. Still LOVE it.
Oh, window down and drop a gear through tunnels every time too!

I'd hate the have to lie to a missus about what I spend on my cars.
Luckily I think me and Blu have it right and our ladies love and support our car hobbies! Mines a keeper for sure
