Which one (or three) of them has an odd cylinder count?

Probably the C30 with a T5?

Cool, I didn’t know he has one of those!

Wow. Thar be an old article. Needs an update, but I’ll bite. According to that, my least Jalop car is the Volvo and my most is the Alfa. Not sure if I agree with that assessment , but OK. Unless the motorized bike counts, in which case it cleaned up. I think there are many people that wouldn’t agree with that.

Haha! Love it. It definitely needs an update, but still fun.
“all glass hatch” and “2-door hatch” definitely deserve some points.
My car cleans up on individual throttle bodies, but I think it still scores less than your Alfa.

Oh shoot, I forgot about those! I guess everyone gets +5 except the Civic which gets +10. Not really going to make or break, but it does put the Toot at a clean 400 .

5 cylinder should definitely be worth more.

Ouch.

The new van gets 192..............negative.
Pretty sure any of my vehicles are more “Jalop” than that list suggests.

Oh man... needing paint is a good one. In my case that’d be 4 for me. :-(
