When the car came home my wife named it Penny due to the copper color.. I thought it didn't have enough punch so I added the "Bad" part.

And it was appropriate given the meaning of the phrase, as in "keeps turning up like a bad penny". This was a car, then a drag race car, then a pro-street car, and now pro-touring car.. it just keeps coming back.

And that's the story..
