My wife has occasionally voiced such opinions.  She knows that I want to
have a Corrado also (I have a 1980 MkI 'S', a 1985 MkII, and a 1988 16v
currently) and has said several times that I should trade in my 16v for
a Corrado, but I keep telling her that it's my project car and there's no
way I'd ever get another Scirocco in that condition.  She keeps reminding
me how old it is and how much money I put into it.  It doesn't seem to
do a whole lot of good expaining how some of the things I'm doing are 
making it BETTER then it was when it was new, and cost a little bit more. 

However, sometimes I overhear her bragging about the 16v when talk about
cars comes up between her friends or relatives.  Secretly, I think shes
happy with my hobby.  I guess I'm pretty lucky, eh?
