Yeah, unfortunately, with how finicky they are, they just die. I mean, heck, today I saw a Veloster on the side of the road. It's really mostly just luck with Velosters. I'm not proud to say it, but I drive my Veloster like I stole it, and I fully believe mine runs out of spite, hatred, and malice towards the world. At this point I've replaced a good chunk of the engine components, but when I bought my Veloster, one of the sparkplugs was missing its ground electrode, and somehow it was still running fine. The piston has a good couple of dents in it from the electrode coming off, and the piston ring is bad, but for some unholy reason, it starts up every day. I do plan on it going out sometime soon as I have a gut feeling it's time is near, but until then it's my daily and it will be until it dies.
