appealing these days.\u00a0 I wasn&#8217;t disappointed&#8230;I loved that car.<\/p>\n<p>I see another Veloster near my dentist&#8217;s office every time I have to make that trek&#8230;a custom blue number that is a visually arresting automobile. \u00a0 Yesterday I walked into the vape shop next door and asked who owned it.\u00a0 The guys inside looked alarmed&#8230;I guess because I&#8217;m a mature dude with short hair and they&#8217;re all young, they assumed something bad was brewing.\u00a0 But that wasn&#8217;t the case at all.\u00a0 I explained that I really liked the Veloster and I wanted to get some photos of it. \u00a0 And I did.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, meet my new good buddy Jon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\"
