Well newt! Aren't you gonna ask me was a "Zookey" is??? (I've been waitin' here patiently, ya know) Okay. Why a "Zookey" is what the currator uses every morning to open up the gates to the city's collection of wild animals, of course! Yep! Like Jaguars, Cougars, Mustangs and the like. (figured I better steer this baby back into a discussion of "pretty cars" again, ya know) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

How about the Audi tt roadster?! My family has a white 2002 right now and I LOVE IT! I think I'm going to find one of similar vintage that my brother hasn't beat the pi$$ out of as my medical school graduation present to myself.... Good looks, fun to drive, and a total chick magnet!

 Saw this one at the Lime Rock Fall Festival a few years ago Silver with a black rag top - my favorite color scheme Pictures don't do justice to the Pinin Farina lines Turns out it's even hotter than it looks

Oh Yes, incredible little cars. Though that looks like a 80's version. I would prefer an original 1960's Mini Cooper S.

I think I would buy either another 71 LeMans Sport or another 66 Impala SS convertible. Loved both those cars. Still have the LeMans but it's in a million pieces and will probably never get put back together due to lack of funds and time. I even collected all the good stuff like disc break front end, 11" clutch, aluminum Borg Warner 4 spd, 3.55:1 possi rear, etc.. could be fun but no time.

Not all that pretty, but I build it myself in the late 60s.

I would love to have another late 60s to early 70s bug. Had a few and they were fun if under powered. My 63 when it still had the 1200 in it would hardly go, then I put a 914 engine and trans in it. Now that was a fun car. The donor car was a friends car that was so rotted you couldn't close the doors anymore.
