    Meet Virbius! (Or the Blue Bastard depending upon how it is behaving at the time!)

    Meet Virbius! (Or the Blue Bastard depending upon how it is behaving at the time!)

    This is Virbius, the car I flew down to Florida to pick up. I paid $1550 to get this little gem that I have already sank twice that much into in repairs with more on the way. Yeah, I over paid by about $550 but this car only had 92,000 miles on it when I got it and no rust! I will post interior picks at a latter date, but here are some external ones I took when I saw a random De Lorean down in Florida when I picked it up. Two brothers from the Regan Era together again, if only briefly.

    If you are wondering about the name, I named it after my favorite Roman mythological figure, Virbius. Here is the wiki on him.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virbius

    Much like the second life I have gotten myself thanks to the medical community I intend to bestow a second life onto my little buddy here. He got me home safely to Kansas City, Missouri from Pensacola, Florida before he fell apart so I know the little guy has promise. (I have so many awesome stories already from this car; I'll post some of them latter)

    I am thinking a Kaminari body kit, black with blue flames and the words “The weak always strive to be weaker..." on the back in flowing script.

    Nice car, it has a lot of potential. It reminds me of my car when I got it; a little wear here and there, yet clean and in great condition.

    That car looks great! I hope you take good care of it, and don't write on it!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Nice hatch. “The weak always strive to be weaker..."...CT again, huh. It would be kind of funny with the blue flames and kit. The car has potential and low miles.
