How many cylinders have you

[Steve Peterson]

4 Car
4 SUV
1 Lawnmower
1 Snowblower

8 total

Everyone is running around counting their cylinders, but nobody seemed to notice that 4+4+1+1 equals 8.

I'm surprised that no one has listed a snowmobile--?

What's a snowmobile?

Not much use around here where a big snow is more than one inch and is gone the next day. We get snow maybe 2-3 times a winter.

I have seen two snowmobiles over the years. One was in storage, brought from the frozen north by a guy who mistakenly thought it would be useful here. The other was cutting donuts in a street during the ice storm of 1982. Probably hasn't been used since.

I missed that! More coffee is apparently in order...

[michael langman]

Or a rototiller.

[Kev Williams]

Or a boat???

I mentioned four of them, actually

[James Baker SD]

Do rotatory chambers count? They explode gasoline and air. If they count, then 11 (4,4 & 3).

[Julie Moriarty]

8 on the Grand Cherokee
1 on the lawn mower
1 on the pressure washer
5 on the jars of jalapenos

[michael langman]

20 on 2 cars and truck
3 on 2 lawn tractors
1 on snow thrower
1 on compressor
1 on walk behind rototiller

Back in the day when I had my first car, I had six cylinders, then I graduated and got a job and I had eight, a new 59 Corvette.

I grew older and had 12, 8 on the car I was driving and four on the motor in my 34 foot sloop.

Then I met the love of my life, sold the boat, and now we have 12, six on my F150, and six on my wife's station wagon.

I am in my second childhood and that Ford Mustang sure looks tempting.

I'm just dreaming, SWMBO would never tolerate it.

[Roger Feeley]

6 in the car
1 in the lawn tractor (maybe two)
2 in the compressor
Heat pump uses one of those spiral thingys. Does that count?

I seek a cylinder free life.

[Rick Potter]

Ahhhhhmmmmmmm.

If you need to count, you are insecure...which is another cause for man card recall.

Male pattern cylinder envy.



PS: If an engine has a 6" bore and 6" stroke, and the piston is half way down on the power stroke.....how far down in the CYLINDER is it??

Actual question I was asked on a job interview. I passed.

Somewhere a politician is reading this thinking of a new way to tax....

I think Scott wins, but we also know that Rod has lots of motorcycles!

...or one motorcycle with a very large engine.
