My current cylinder count is a piddling 10 (my 4-banger and the wife's V6).
I'm at 54 lifetime (eight cars of my own, one of my dad's that I drove a lot
when I first got licensed, and two ATC's). BTW, I've operated almost every
number of cylinders between 1 and 8 (among the cars, there was one Chevy Sprint
and a 5-cyl Audi)! Anyone know where I can find something with a 7-cylinder
engine? ;)

Subject: How many cylinders do you have?
Peter Egan's latest column on R & T is about the number of cylinders we have.
My current count is 17, for instance. 8cyl. Silverado, 8 cyl. Firebird, 1
cyl. Go-Ped. Meager by some counts. I think Egan's current count is 58.
Then there is your life's total. Mine is 110 (including 18 4 bangers, and 17
cars that have been autocrossed). Egan's is nearly 300, I think.
By the way, Egan says that anything with internal combustion engines counts,
including lawn mowers, weed whackers, etc., and reminds us of something that
we all know, there are levels of quality, too. 12 lawn mowers does NOT equal
1 Ferrari 275!
For counting purposes, Egan didn't have to count Rotaries, or at least didn't
mention it. I figured them as 6 cylinder engines (3 chambers X 2 rotors).
Okay, let's hear your numbers, complete with lies, excuses, stories!
