An awesome exhaust note…

Last year, Sue and I were in the Columbia River Gorge gathering info for a Motorcycle Classics story (you can read it here).   We flew up because I had a tight schedule and we rented a car from one of those places where you walk into the parking lot and pick whatever car you want.  I saw this cool little yellow Hyundai Veloster and it got the nod….

A cool vehicle for exploring the Columbia River Gorge!

I’ve always liked the looks of that car…sporty, low, and kind of in your face.  And, it had a small engine, which I find more appealing these days.  I wasn’t disappointed…I loved that car.

I see another Veloster near my dentist’s office every time I have to make that trek…a custom blue number that is a visually arresting automobile.   Yesterday I walked into the vape shop next door and asked who owned it.  The guys inside looked alarmed…I guess because I’m a mature dude with short hair and they’re all young, they assumed something bad was brewing.  But that wasn’t the case at all.  I explained that I really liked the Veloster and I wanted to get some photos of it.   And I did.

Folks, meet my new good buddy Jon…

Jon’s car is a 2012 Veloster and I like what he’s done to it.   Lots of trim pieces, flared wheel wells, a carbon fiber hood, custom wheels, and more.   Check this out…

Jon’s custom Veloster sounds great, too.   I guess you could say it sort of defines our website with, well, you know…an awesome ExhaustNote.  Take a listen…
