Hi Andrew:
Did you ever think that you may have created a whole new category - LOS,
Length of Suffering. What's even more significant is that this is SOL
backwards. Does that sum us up?
I think that the LOS annual award should be instituted for the SOLer who
has shown the greatest LOS based on the difference between his/her age at
purchase and the age of the LBC, plus the length of time he has owned the
vehicle. An appropriate formula might be:
Chronological Age (CA) minus Vehicle Age (VA) plus Years Owned (YO) = LOS
Therefore: CA - VA + YO = LOS
I am quite sure that this will generate a completely meaningless number but
whoever gets the biggest one will win the "Smokefree Lucas Component
Award".
