This is a post for the men who read this blog ….
I’m going to attempt to explain Cylinder Indexes, also known as C.I.’s. to the women who read, and maybe to a few men out there.
What is a Cylinder Index?
A Cylinder Index is a measurement in which the total number of internal combustion engine cylinders owned or possessed by an individual is tallied and totaled to determine the individual’s CI. It’s a term invented by a radio broadcaster Joe Sourcheray (aka the Mayor) and talk show host of Garage Logic.
To figure your CI, simply count the total number of cylinders
in all the internal combustion engines you own.
For example
Mr. D has 6 cylinders in his van, 6 cylinders in the Buick.
His weed wacker has 1, the chain saw has 1, the four-wheeler has 2
the leaf blower has 1, the riding mower has 2, the push mower has 1
and so on.
Mr. D just added up all his cylinders for me
His Cylinder Index
or “CI”
is
29 !
One of his favorite gas powered engines
is this multi-purpose machine
It comes in handy doing yard work
and plowing the driveway in winter
and is also a great vehicle for
seeing the countryside on
So gentlemen ….
rev up your engines, count your CI’s
and post ’em in a comment!
