Moped-1 for a total of 51current cylinders...
At the age of 57, I have had more cars and trucks than I can remember,
mostly 8 cylinder muscle cars, and others, dating back to 1959. As near as
I can figure, given my aged recollection abilities, right at 400, give or

motorcycles, and other vehicles...Damn, that seems like a lot!
