Man, I'm surprised you still remember. That was a long time ago.

PS My kid's still in the bed like that while his wife drives it around.

I have 7.

my dodge & my wussy lawnmower (can you straight pipe a lawnmower? )

However, the HP/cyl ratio is fun - avg of 86.64HP/cyl. hehehehe... that 3.5HP Briggs is keeping my ratio down. Time to think about bombing the lawn mower. I wonder if it would run on alcohol?

That's a nice leaf blower/vacuum, Commatoze! We have the same one , but I didn't know they doubled as stacks Around here, Joe Sucheray calls this the "Cylinder Index", or C.I. They even have a song about it! Right now my CI is probably 2, the bank has 4

Let's see:

Cummins - 6
Shadow - 2 (Honda)
Lawn mower - 1 (craftsman)
Chainsaw - 1 (craftsman)

Weedeater is electric, leaf blower is electric so they don't count.

That would make my total only 10.

Truck = 6
'70 Checker wagon = 8

The next cylinder of fun I want is one of those old hit and miss stationary engines. I love watching them run. I'd really like a 12 HP unit from the oil fields, 'bout a 10 inch bore and 18 inch stroke. I heard one run at a show once, the exhaust pipe was a piece of 4" steel water pipe about 6 feet long. Every time the engine fired, it sounded like a mortar launching. POONK! You could feel the concussion in your chest from 50 feet away.

If counting ignition units would the igniter on the gas barbecue grill and the one on the fifth-wheel's hot water heater count?
