ZOOT NOTE # 1 - ZOOT is a manifestation of the human characteristics of PERSONALITY, ATTITUDE.   ZOOT IS:
   
    A.  COOL, HIP, IN, WITH-IT, ELEGANT, STYLISH, SMART

   B,  CONFIDENT BUT NOT ARROGANT

   C.  POWERFUL, BUT NOT BRUTISH

   D.  SMOOTH BUT NOT SLICK

   E.  SHOWY BUT NOT BRASH

   F.  ABSOLUTELY ALL OF THE ABOVE (and maybe a little more that I haven't thought of yet.)

  Shortcut: Behold Charlie Unger's GTO; that, my friend, is Zoot.  John Ross' Cobra is Zoot to the third power.

ZOOT is known when it is beheld.  A 1972 Pontiac Catalina FOUR DOOR is an example of low zoot.  THE '72 Catalina Convertible is indeed a horse of higher Zoot.   Toyota Carollas are  ZOOT FREE.  Previously, I had included Mitsubishi Lancers in the zero zoot catagory, but they went and did the Evo, which is one bad-ass little 4 door. 

ZOOT NOTE # 2 - If a person attempts to make personality deficiencies, copmensate for stylistic ineptness by or through acquisitive measure one will not have access to zoot-dom.  Any person who demonstarate tendencies which reveal them to be a tumescent parvenu will not ever acheive Zoot. (This weeds out the 97% or so of lawyers who give the practice of law a bad name.

note: the further use of uppercase is just because I am tired of messing with this for the time being.  I am not shouting the following zootnotes.  they are just the effluvia from using another font which is only capital letter.

ZOOT NOTE # 3 -  ZOOT CAN BE ACQUIRED, BUT NOT BOUGHT. ZOOT CAN BE ONLY EARNED, NEVER BORROWED OR GIVEN. REAL ZOOT IS THE HONEST PLEASURE OF BEING IN TRUTH AND BEAUTY.  

ZOOT NOTE # 4 - IF RALPH NADER DRIVES A CAR,  THAT CAR IS THE GRAN PLUS ULTIMATE OF ANTI- ZOOT.

ZOOT NOTE # 5 - TO ME, (IN MY OPINION) RICERS ARE THE ANTI-ZOOT.  THESE ARE NOTHING MORE THAN LITTLE CARS THAT ARE TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A SALEEN MUSTANG (BOY DID I JUST PISSOFF A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE)  OK,  YOU BOZOIDS HAVE CARS THAT CAN MAKE 100 HP PER LITER.  B.F.D.  BUT! THE DEAL IS THAT YOU ARE SPORTING 2 MAYBE 3 LITERS.  THAT IS ONLY 200 OR 300 PONIES.  I HAVE A STRONG ALL-AMERICAN WET KISS LOVE FOR CUBES IN OBSCENE QUANTITIES.  THESE ARE ENGINE THAT MAKE DARK BROWN SOUND AND MONSTER, STUMP PULLING, I SAW ELVIS AT 1000 FEET, TORQUE.  THE KIND OF TORQUE WHICH PRODUCES G FORCES THAT YOU CAN FEEL IN YOUR EYES.  TORQUE AND RECOIL IS WHAT MADE AMERICA THE WORLD POWER.  THANK YOU, MR.

Zoot Note # 6 -  I found out the hard way that '74 Nova Hatchbacks are pretty much half-zooty and '77 Suburbans with 454's are the horned rimmed gashogs of vehicles.  The only folks who lust for my Suburban are Crash and Dash ATM thieves.  (This shit is wearing me out.)
