No good ideas on car names, but love those wheels on the new car. Whats the back-story on the mods of the new car, enjoy,

Grant and Franklin.... ($50 and $100)
Because they love to use up the Grants and Franklins.

I like that. Plus if you put about three zeros behind each of those values you get the relative cost of each car. The Box could be Grant (also a common first name) and the 996 could be Benjamin. That's kind of clever and that's the kind of thing I'm looking for.

The previous owner (PO) had a lot of money... He bought the car new in 2003, dumped about $28K into mods, and then sold it in less than two years to a friend of his. I then bought it off his friend who never drove it. The PO went on to buy a Lambo, totally pimped it out, and then sold it after one year and 5,500 miles. Now he's on to other cars... I'm going to keep the car. I'm just reaping the benefits of his investment in the mods.
