What's Your Cylinder Count??
I heard somewhere that you should always have at least as many cylinders as your age. My friends, those sound like words to live by!
I tallied up the cylinders in my petroleum powered machines today and figured I would see where you guys fall in. My count adds up exactly, and that just won't do! Hopefully Santa brings me more!! What's your total? List your machines too if you can. Here's mine: Age 30 - Cylinders = 30 '71 C-20 - 8 '05 Duramax - 8 '00 MB E430 - 8 JD Lawn Tractor - 1 JD Snowthrower - 1 Crapsman Snowthrower - 1 Weed Whipper - 1 Toro Mower - 1 Leaf Blower - 1

Re: What's Your Cylinder Count??
What if I don't feel like I run on all 8 everyday?
 24 cylinders in my garage, so double that and you have my age  Do I feel half my age? Depends on what time of the day you ask me

Re: What's Your Cylinder Count??
I'm 26 years old and have 86 cylinders. I don't know if that's good or bad.

Re: What's Your Cylinder Count??
I have 3 vehicles with V8's so that's 24 cylinders. To get my age in our trucks I'd need 4 more V8's and one of those 305 cubic inch V6's so it would total 62.

Re: What's Your Cylinder Count??
3 V8's, KTM 250, cub cadet, tiller, yardman, pressure washer(some punk stole my honda 350 quad). Id say I'm around 30 cylinders. If that number got as high as my age, I would have to move to a bigger facility...

Re: What's Your Cylinder Count??
Hmm its been a while since I last did this and stuff has arrived and some has gone.
67 Chevy C10 = 8 '01 Blazer = 6 08 Nissan x-trail = 4 Chainsaw =1 Mower = 1 spare mower engine = 1 small generator = 1 ride-on mower = 1 then in France mower = 1 chainsaw = 1 Power scythe = 1 Ride-on mower = 2 line trimmer = 1 total = 29 at age 45 so not great but harder over here where cars tend to have less cylinders. Need to add a petrol line trimmer and hedge trimmer here and theres another ride-on coming soon.

Re: What's Your Cylinder Count??
I've considered that I have too many toys, but I've never considered the cylinder count before.
72 C-10 = 8 69 Chevelle = 8 05 Dodge Ram = 8 09 Pontiac G5 = 4 08 Pontiac Grand Prix = 6 00 Bayliner ski boat = 8 93 Yamaha Waveblaster = 2 94 Yamaha Waverunner = 2 00 Polaris Jetski = 2 07 John Deere = 1 lawn mower = 1 Looks like 50 cylinders and I'm 53. |
