Opposite Lock TCC Challenge: Who Has The Most Cylinders?

"That Bastard Kurtis - An Attempt to Standardize My Username Across Platforms" (thatbastardkurtis5)
07/29/2015 at 14:57 • Filed to: None

I was thinking about this the other day when I looked upon my fleet in the driveway:

“Man...I sure do have a lot of cylinders. How many cylinders do I have out here anyway?”

So here’s the challenge, Oppo: tell me how many cars you currently have (if you have a spouse or children who live with you, their cars count as well...so do race cars), what they are, and your TCC: Total Cylinder Count.

Here’s mine:

2000 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4: 8 cylinders.

2003 Mercedes ML350: 6 cylinders.

2008 Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor: 8 cylinders.

1997 Saturn SL2: 4 cylinders.

1984 Jaguar XJ12 Sovereign: 12 cylinders.

Total Cylinder Count: 38.

Post your answers below, and I’ll announce the first ever Opposite Lock TCC Champion tomorrow!

<—- One of these fabulous trophies could be yours!

That Jag really helps your average! I’ll take a crack at it, although this won’t last long because the 325 and maybe Subaru and Fairlane will be sold soon to pay for the Sienna and get me a different daily:

2005 Toyota Sienna: 6
2003 BMW 325iT: 6
2001 Subaru Outback: 4
1995 Ford F150: 8
1966 Ford Fairlane: 6

1964 Lancia Flavia: 4
1986 Audi 4000Q: 5

Right now it’s 8 between 2 cars:

Mazdaspeed 3 = 4 (turbo, baby)

Scion xB = 4

But at one point it was literally:

Supra #1 =6

Supra #2 =6

Supra #3 =6

IS300 =6

Scion xB =4

28 cylinders, but over time I reduced my fleet.

This might be unfair:

6 x V8 cars = 48

Another 10 in boats

another 10 in yard machines

and another 40 in spare engines...

Totals: 108 cylinders... I think I have an obsession.

Hmm...that’s a good question. I’m going to go no-boats, but give me the with-boat total as well because I’m running this like Who’s Line is it Anyway: the rules are made up and the points don’t matter.

07/29/2015 at 15:47

I’m a big fan of all the odd numbered totals here, means there’s either Volvo or Isuzu drivers around. Or old Audis, I guess.

Sam > That Bastard Kurtis - An Attempt to Standardize My Username Across Platforms
07/29/2015 at 15:48

Updated it with the vehicles themselves. Also, lawnmowers are one of the few ways to get an uneven number. In addition to Lambos, Vipers, Geo Metros, and Audis.

07/29/2015 at 15:48

I should really be doing average numbers too, as a secondary prize. And I’m shocked that there’s been a decent number of odd totals, even when taking out lawn mowers with their single cylinder engines. Lots of 5 bangers out there.

1967 Olds Cutlass

1969 Olds Cutlass

1980 Malibu Wagon

1984 Buick Regal

2005 Mustang GT

2012 F350

Do I get extra points if a few of those other cylinders are in the back of the truck right now?

Justin Hughes > That Bastard Kurtis - An Attempt to Standardize My Username Across Platforms
07/29/2015 at 15:49

2014 Subaru BRZ: 4 cylinders

1998 Honda PC800: 2 cylinders

1982 Honda Silverwing GL500 (technically still mine on paper): 2 cylinders

2002 Ford Focus: 2 cylinders (other half’s car, spends half her time with me so I’ll count half her cylinders and who cares because I’m not in trophy contention anyway)

Total Cylinder Count: 10

That’s far below my lifetime maximum of 24, consisting of three 4-cyl cars, a 6-cyl Highlander (not mine), a 4-cyl CB750, and a lawn mower and snowblower at 1-cyl each.

I think I’m basing it on complete cars with engines. Also, I like that you gave total power and torque. These are things I should have thought of to begin with.

4...

2015 Honda Civic Si

I have just one car because I’m poor people judging by the comment section. Or maybe because I’m single with no kids/wife to rack up the cylinder count. Probably both.

If you count every vehicle I’ve ever owned (or have been responsible for since parents bought them), It would still only be at 25. (2009 Civic (4), 2015 Civic (4), 87 Blazer (8), 96 Toyota T-100 (6), 06 Triumph Daytona (3)). I doubt that would even get me in the points, must less a trophy. Oh bother...
