I saw this question posted over at the WoodenBoat forum awhile back, and it was pretty interesting to see the replies. (Can't find that thread there now though.) We're talking about internal combustion engine cylinders of all sorts. Naturally trucks and cars come to mind first, but don't forget your weed whackers and chainsaws, etc. Yes, diesels certainly count, even though they don't have spark plugs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm a bit ashamed of my total right now, so I'm not saying till later. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Art, you've tickled my curiosity. Which 12 cyl car is it? (Surely not a Jaguar? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />) badger (Measly 30 cylinders here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

A grand total of 4. No weed whacker, no lawn mower, no chainsaw, no boat, no ATV - just one 4 cylinder Honda CRV. Ah, the simple life. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

Sitka Deer, I knew you'd save my day. I counted 47... 8 Chevy truck 8 Ford Expy (which is usually broke) 6 Taurus 4 4Runner 4 skiff main 2 skiff kicker 1 skiff pot puller 6 F/V main 4 F/V aux 1 chain saw 1 weed whacker 1 pressure washer 1 water pump ...and was feeling a bit bad about my impact on the ozone layer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But the good news is only 37 of them require spark plugs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nope, they don't count. But, they make decent mooring bouy anchors. Maybe Bullwnkl can take a couple off your hands? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The "Cylinder Index" is serious stuff around here - we have a web site and radio show dedicated to it: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.garagelogic.com/images/icalogo.gif) Check out the University of Garage Logic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

Too bad I cleared out my kart racing motors and r/c model motors on e-bay before this pole, as that would have at least doubled my count.
10 (6,4) cars
4 (blower, mower, strimmer, chain saw)
1 (r/c boat)
Hmm, 15, that's kinda sad. When I get motive power for the boat that'll add 5 or 6 more.
I gotta be forgetting something.

JOG,
I'm listening to the station you posted, but Paul Harvey is talking.
I like the way those guys think!
In general, a guy's perceived self-worth increases in direct proportion to the number of internal combustion cylinders under his or her control, i.e., their Cylinder Index.
