Guest wildcat465 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Sadly, a local talk radio station here has quit doing general talk and has become all sports talk recently. I have nothing against sports, but it took one of the guys who had a four hour show called "Garage Logic" off and I guess I miss it. They probably had to change because the station is on the AM dial and a local FM station is doing political talk and that is apparently all that right now (heck , I even listen to it). Anyhow.The head "Garage Logician", Joe Souceray AKA the Mayor, sometimes would judge people by their C I, or cylinder index. This index was calculated by how many fossil fueled pistons you had in your possession.Example:Daily driver - 4 cyl.Spouses driver - 6 cyl.Lawnmower - 1 cyl.Chainsaw - 1 cyl.Model airplane - 1 cyl.Cox 1964 Riviera - 1 cyl. Yep, I got one, thanks Kevin.2 collectible Buicks - 16 cyl.Diesel pickup - 8 cyl.Parts car with no engine - 0 cyl.Total - 38 cyl. - C I index = 38.I see some pretty cool lists of cars out here and wonder, what kind of C I do some of us have?Post your C I, I need to break out my abacus and get outside and start counting myself, this could get me in trouble with the wife (again).

Guest sintid58 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) My CI would be 60, you can count up the cars on my signature and add 2 for my lawnmowers and get the answer Edited April 3, 2010 by sintid58 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
