Scooby Doo: Why does Fred choose those spooky back roads ???


R.J. asks: Why is it that in the early Scooby cartoons Fred always chose the darkest bumpiest road to drive on and never filled the mystery machine up with gas ?? I mean hasn't this guy ever heard of a map and a full tank, why go places where you always get lost and your ride either breaks down or runs out of gas. I love the Scooby cartoons but I never understood this.

Dear R.J. asking why Fred always chooses the spooky roads and always runs out of gas is the same as asking why does a rooster crow early in the morning when every other sane animal is fast asleep. The answer to both questions is the same. To get the girls!!!!

Haven't you noticed that whenever Fred runs out of gas and the gang has to either get out and walk or stay overnight at a spooky house, without fail Freddy splits the gang into two groups. He and the girls go one way while Shaggy and Scooby go in the exact opposite direction. On rare occasions Velma goes with Shaggy but Fred always makes sure that he has at least one of the girls to go exploring with.

So Freddy isn't as dumb as you think, come to think of it he might be the smartest one in the group!! Plus I heard that spooky houses and mysteries turns Daphne on!!
