What's Your Cylinder Index?

[NightTrain]

Heard this on the radio a few years back. The DJ was making fun of the environmentalists who run around moaning about 8-cylinder SUVs, so he started counting all the cylinders he owned in various vehicles & equipment.

For example, my Suburban has a 350 V-8, so that's 8 cylinders.

My lawn mower is a 1-cylinder Honda, so that's another.

After counting up my snowmachines, chainsaws, ATVs, boat, vehicles, generators etc., my Cylinder Index is 54.


And if anyone reports a Cylinder Index of 3 from their Smart Car, you'll be getting a Man-Card Revocation Notice in the mail shortly, you filthy hippie.

NightTrain, your mower ain't crap. I've got a V8 lawnmower with headers and high performance cam.

Seriously, I have a 4-cylinder SUV and a lawnmower.

Cylinder Index of 5 ain't bad for a girl!

As I think more about it, I have an electric air pump/tank thingy, and a manual air pump. Wouldn't they both have cylinders? So that makes me up to seven. Do refrigerators and freezers have cylinders to pull vacuums? If so, I have three of those, making my list up to 10!

6 cylinder truck but would like a Dodge Ram 2500, or a Ford Super Duty.... I don't have a lawn mower, but stand by proudly while my landscapers come roaring in with the professional equipment! I now have a generator in my yard that will run once weekly, don't know how many cylinders, I think 3 or 4. I have a small chainsaw, which I never use, but would like to spark it up just to piss the folks off who hate the sound or pollution.

I don't have a lot of cylinders. But if it were my choice, I'd have about 200 here or so. Oh, and I need a snow blower REAL soon for my driveway. Do they make them 8' wide and in 8 cylinders?

I have an electric snow blower right now, and I'd like to punch that thing in the face if it had one!

Nope, has to be an internal combustion engine, like a gas or diesel motor. Electric doesn't count.

Only like 9 or 10 I blame the woman though!! (and the local liberals). Can't even run certain things during certain months here, or you get fined!!

That's not bad for a City Boy! I think Jeff will be reporting a higher index, though. Time for Jim to buy a few bikes to boost the stats! lol

Lightweight. 6.0 litre in the truck and 4 hp lawnmower. Can put that Smart Car in the back of my tuck and I'll haul it to the dump for ya.

[Bilgerat]

R/V has 10 cyl
Gen has 1

2 cars & truck = 18

3 lawn mowers, 1 weed whacker & 1 chainsaw = 5

lookin like 34 cylinders here

[sundaydriver]

2 cars & 1 truck= 18

mowers, etc. = 8

Total = 26 cylinders

26 cylinders- = 947 horsepower

Agreed.

Any engine with a Supercharger gets a bonus of .5 per lung!

I don't have any of those, sadly... mine are all fuel injected or naturally aspirated.
