--> 
--> 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!
