Suggested measurement units:
(1) decibels
(2) decibel-minutes

I think Crash's idea really has potential!

I highly doubt that anyone is working on anything for the new vert. MINI has not aloud anyone to see it yet! I am sure it development will happen with in hours of someone having one! Or at least one can hope!

Decibels+minutes would probably be the best. Once you get close to the warranty being up the unit of measure should change to $$$$. Actually dollar signs with wings, as in money flying away.
