Question How many cylinders of internal combustion fun do you own?

I started to think about this after I acquired yet another piece of equipment for the lawn; a Cyclone Rake. The number has been increasing steadily since I moved up here to the sticks. So count 'em up and post your total number of cylinders you own amongst your vehicles, boat, lawn equipment, etc. Compression or spark ignition.

Here's mine:

Cummins - 6
old pickup - 8
wifey's car - 6
tractor - 2
push mower - 1
pressure washer - 1
blower - 1
chain saw - 1
cyclone rake - 1
edger - 1
brush cutter - 1

Total= 29
