What's your CI.
Up here in Minnesota we have something called your cylinder index or your CI. To keep this a C5 Vette topic you have to have a C5 to count. Add up all of your cylinders you own. They must be combustion, and all run. You shouild have at least 1 cylinder for each year of age. This gives you a good excuse to go out and buy something on your birthday. "Honey I NEED another cylinder."
Here is my list.
98 C5 - 8
yam yz80 - 1
Tahoe - 8
#6 yam ysr 50's - 6
Park ave - 6
snow blower - 1
Mach1 - 8
honda mower - 1
Vector 200merc - 6
stihl blower - 1
Polaris 680 sp - 3
honda 5hp - 1
Polaris 500sp - 2
honda 13hp - 1
1100 honda - 2
generator - 1
#3 go-peds - 3
#3-125 hon. shifter karts - 3
5hp briggs - 1
yam kts100 - 2
Total CI. 65
I am 44 years old, or 23 cylinders ahead.
You don't have to list them all, I was just giving examples.
So what's your CI?
Gotta throw in MY FIRST PIC.

Hmmm. C5 = 8 and Suburban = 8 and that's it! Everything else I own is electric, even my mower. Guess I'm WAY behind.
Oh, Nice MSG!

I was at several hundred cylinders in my late 20's/early30's (mostly business related). I'm much happier now with a cylinder ratio of only half my age!
