Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend

Sold my 2012 Hyundai Veloster today. This was taken on its maiden voyage after I bought it new in October 2011. It was a glorious fall day of driving up the Columbia River Gorge to the small town of Trout Lake at the base of Mt Adams. I loved our time together but after nearly nine years together it was time to move on. She's with someone younger now and I will be exclusive with my Jeep Wrangler. I think we are both better off, but I will always miss driving her through the tight corners of the winding roads. 😁

Ah, the Veloster makes a reappearance, but in a much sadder context now. It's a shame to be saying goodbye to this bundle of fun, but I'm sure the new driver will put many more miles, and have loads of smiles with this. Driving it through this stunning scenery is quite a fitting send-off :'-)

A small tear was shed but it was a father buying it for his son. I remember how happy I was when I got my 67 Camaro way, way back in high school. I think it is going to a good home. 😃

We thank you and Leroy Gibbs for the sendoff. 😉

That's a pretty sweet gift from father, to son. I can only imagine the huge grin on his face when he gets it. The Veloster is hugely underrated, and a bucket of joy when you're really push it to the limit. A wonderful new forever home for the Veloster, I hope 😄

On a curvy road with no traffic it was some of the most fun I ever had driving. Of course not quite like the Hot Wheels Veloster in your video. 😂

Haha, I knew that I had to put this up as soon as it came up on GIPHY 😆! One doesn't need a supercar to have fun. As Colin Chapman said, "simplify, then add lightness". The simplicity, lightweight-ness, and relatively small size of a hatchback like the Veloster means they're huge fun! I have no doubts about that 😁
