Cylinder count

[Ross]

Gayles poll reminds me of a friendly competition between some friends and myself. We use a clyinder count instead of car count.Anything you can drive counts (like my 2 cylinder lawn tractor).A push mower, the weed wacker etc.does not count nor do disembodied engines.Non-running vehicles count but it's cheap points and frowned upon.
With five cars and the tractor I've 36.All run.

I recently had 40 cylinders but it was too much to maintain so I sold two 4's, now I am down to 32 and would like to get that reduced to 26.

Three cars...14 cylinders. I’m not the average American who needs to have a V8.. I actually like four cylinder cars… keeps me out of trouble.

[TheEndIsNear]

Running I have 26, total including non-running 52.

[liquidtiger720]

In the household. We have 36 cylinders.

[BobbyRitz]

As for myself I have a CI of about 23, so I am lacking a few cylinders according to the following...

There is a radio talk show Garage Logic, hosted by Joe Soucheray, on KSTP am 1500 in the Minneapolis-St.Paul area that often talks about the concept of the Cylinder Index (CI). It is also broadcast on the internet 2pm-5:30pm in the Central Time Zone here (http://www.am1500.com/garagelogic.htm).

From the website:

CYLINDER INDEX

The total number of internal combustion cylinders in your possession. Vehicles, gas powered equipment, marine & aviation all qualify.

If it is less than your age, move on to Euphoria.

6, but soon it will be only 1. Can't afford to keep the Bimmer, and it is a pity to have such a nice car just sitting in my driveway (haven't needed it in 2 months). Add to that the expense and risks of parking in town - great place for a University smack dab in the middle of the city - and the future plans of the greedy bastards at Shitty hall to charge people for driving into, out of, and through the inner city regardless of you income ($6 a day traffic charge plus parking costs, 5-6 days a week, kind of adds up for a student). So the Bimmer is being substituted for a 1 cylinder 50cc Sachs MadAss. I used the word substitute because as soon as I am back in Europe and working, I will be getting me another E34.
Please excuse me, I think I have something in my eye...

I have 10, unless you count my self-propelled mower ('cause ya don't push it) and then I have 11. I used to have 14 but I better now. Although if I had my way, I'd have 20 (21 with the mower). :D

If there is a way to strap both on the car, I will. But neither is. The good one is on the stand. The bad one is on the floor in the garage. I haven't even separated the auto transmission from the bad engine yet although a potential buyer has his eyes on the transmission already.
