Are you a real man? How many cylinders do you own?
 

Read an article about this in R&T about a year ago. The "number of cars" post reminded me of it. How it works is that you add up all of the cylinders you own. V12's are a big help! Include lawn mowers, weed wackers, tractors, cars, motorcycles, etc. Doesn't matter if they run or not.

I think there was a scale to measure manliness that increased as the number of cylinders went up. OK, so lets have some fun. . .How many cylinders do you own? Think hard and you'll be surprised how the number climbs!

(Slow day at work).

23 - total

How about total displacement? Would that not be a truer measure of manliness? After all big 4 could have the same displacement as a little 12. And it would accomodate rotary engines.

911 - 6
911 - 6
VW Passat - 6
BMW R1100RT - 2
Compressor - 1
Chain saw - 1

So far, 22, but I'm on the verge of buying a BMW race car - 6 more for 28.

I'm starting to feel a little inadequate.

3 x 4 = 12cylinders for the cars. i love 4 cylinder cars the most. such a "raw" sound.

i dunno about having "lots of cylinders". i think the key is to get the most out of the cylinders you have!

I consider myself to be only a caretaker of cylinders of a mechanical nature. I only "own" one cylinder, and it's dimentions are variable. http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/biggrin.gif

01 Expedition - 8
82 S10 truck - 6
mower -1
tillers -2
chainsaws -2

For cars, 18 cylinders and 16 manually operated gears! Can you figure out the breakdown?
