Re: He who dies with the most cylinders wins

I lost count at 75, not counting lawnmowers etc.  75/39 = too much.

Re: He who dies with the most cylinders wins

These are the ones I have at the shop considering I spend more time here than at home:

69 grand prix= 8
89 accord = 4
95 mirage = 4
88 cavalier = 4
pontiac 455 = 8
chevy 305 = 8
woodstock = 8
v8 supra = 8
2.8 s10 = 6
rambler = 6
91 rollback = 8
93 suburban = 8
47 ford flathead = 8
86 supra = 6
85 supra 2.8 = 6
98 escort = 4
snoopy van = 8
87 g30 = 8
01 neon = 4
01 neon engine = 4
350 chevy = 8
quad 4 = 4
2.8 v6 = 6
4 super secret 4= 16
2.0 camry = 4
3.8 dodge = 6
2.0 camry = 4
04 ttr225 = 1
01 ttr125 = 1
polaris 500 = 1
misc lawnmowers, log splitters, etc.. = 6
v8 on the stand = 8
1.5l mitsubishi = 4
TOTAL=197

So, 197/47 = 4.19 cylinders per year. But i just got into Lemons last year.

OR
I own a half acre SO 197 x 2 = 394 cylinders/acre

It Ain't My Fault

I too, have a very crowded driveway. And garage. And bar room. And kitchen...

Also, one cannot help but notice how the list gets progressively cooler, and then suddenly drops to utter crap.

Re: He who dies with the most cylinders wins

While I am no where near in contention in this esteemed company....heres mine with a twist :>)

MDX:  6-3.7L  300hp  81.8hp/L
M3:    8-4.0L  414hp   103.5hp/L
928:   8-4.7L  254hp   54hp/L

928 spare:  8-4.5L  219hp  48.7hp/L

or 30 cylinders, 1187hp, 16.9L.......  a not too shabby 70hp/L average given the horrible averages of the 928 engines!!!
