That's a great idea, but it would really complicate things. I have some engines that will only work above 60*F.
Then there's my wife. Some of the engines won't start for her... so would I count these? She can't start the lawnmower or the samurai (I think this is merely *convenient*). The chainsaw DOES start for her, which is a bit nerve-racking for me. And the outboards... my wife is like Kryptonite to outboard motors. My 9.8 will work like a charm for weeks on end, but as soon as she's on the boat it won't start... especially if I'm about to dock, or if the weather's bad and I dropped the sails.

Spare engines don't count, unless they're hooked up to a key and you can't start them RIGHT NOW. If we started counting spare and non-working engines, then I'd be "outed" as the nut that I am. I have umpteenish non-runners and "just-in-case I ever need a worn out diesel engine" spares.. No whole cars, just engines. I can't help myself... but who can say NO to a used 2.2 911 engine for $200, or a whole 1.9 diesel for $50?!?
