I’ve heard that Midtronics has a version of what I want, but I’ve also heard that it costs around $2,000.
It’s pretty simple: Just a current probe that logs data for cars that we suspect a draw on. May as well have measure battery voltage, too.

I’m working on a Think today, so there are a lot of ideas floating around my head about things I could make to slightly improve these cars:

A shroud for the master cylinder to keep water from dripping on/standing on the brake fluid reservoir causing moisture contamination.
Maybe the same sort of shroud should be over the transaxle vent to prevent water intrusion…
A new cowl design that isn’t so crappy.
A silencer/muffler for the vacuum pump.
Headliner arch supports.
Rear fender liner stiffeners to prevent tire rubbing.
Rear hatch headliner baton.
