The calculation is a walk in the park ...

Go down to the local Ferrari, Lambo or other high end sportscar service center and look at the hourly rate they have posted on their wall for their labor charge. Multiply this number by two (because there are no manuals to tell you how to service your Cobra). To that number add an additional 50% increase to reflect the additional Sherlock Holmes skills inventory required of the technician to work on an undocumented supercar (whether or not it is true).

Once you have this number add 30% just because you are good guy who feels guilty about another 100% adder — and there you have it! A diligently calculated fair hourly rate. The only thing you are missing now is the hourly multiplier — which as luck would have it is relatively easy to calculate.

Take the number of posts you have on CC multiply it by one and five eighths (1.625) and place the hours unit behind it. The multiplier represents the hours online you have spent looking for knowledge and understanding of the vehicle and all its intertwined mechanisms

Now multiply the hours by the hourly rate and you have the glorious number you have, so valiantly, been searching for!

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy ...
