People talk about total cost of ownership. I'd like to see TCO in hours, not dollar amounts. If a guy makes $10, $15, $20 or more dollars per hour, how many hours to own a Leaf or Mirage or whatever? And how many hours to build a VW EV conversion Beetle?

Personally I love working on cars. But I love doing other things too. And it's getting to where the other things are out weighing the mechanickin'.
