If you are from Minnesota this may sound familiar to you and I want to give the proper credit. There is a talk show host based in Minneapolis named Joe Soucheray. The name of his afternoon show is "Garage Logic". The mythical town of Garage Logic has its own lexicon and followers/citizens, etc. I am sure I won't do the show justice and I am in no way affiliated with the program or station, but suffice to say it is a good logical discussion of practical living with some politics mixed in, but I am not going political in this thread. No..this is much more important. Engines !!
I notice there are a lot of "Show us your ride", "What do you drive", "Gearhead", etc type threads and I am sure with the DIY crowd we have there are a lot of high "cylinder indexes" around here. What is a Cylinder Index? It is a common used term in Garage Logic to count the number of cylinders one owns. And the discussions that ensue are quite entertaining.
Thought it would be fun to discuss engines (Big & Small) & ownership (Can I count my wife's car?)
My Cylinder Index (C.I.) is 26. Admittedly, mine is woefully low but I strive to increase it at any opportunity. (Yes, I am counting my wife's car)
V8 Engine Vehicles (2) - 16
V-Twin Motorcyle - 2
Riding Lawn Tractor - 2
ATV - 2
Gas Weed Trimmer - 1
Push Mowers (2) - 2
Gas Powered Blender - 1 (same engine as a weed trimmer)
Total - 26
If its got a cylinder & you own it.. Count it.
