  What is your self-worth

One of our local Twin Cities radio personalities uses the “cylinder index” to judge a person’s stature in life.

Taken from the link below: “a guy's perceived self-worth increases in direct proportion to the number of internal combustion cylinders under his or her control, i.e., their Cylinder Index.” Simply put you can count up the number of cylinders present in the mechanisms that you own and determine your cylinder index and thus your self-worth. As a rule of thumb, everyone should try to keep his cylinder index higher than his age.

I assume that this is directly analogous to the women’s “shoe index,” although from personal experience she will need to maintain a number at least eight times her age.

What is your cylinder index?

I also expected Murf to top this one. Smile

OK, I'll start. Age -> 49, CI -> 92

Successful? I'm not so sure. If I broke it down to dollars spent per cylinder owned it would be a very low rating. Smile

Plus 16 of them are two recently rebuilt V8s sitting on engine stands. Other than those, everything else runs and is used.

Ken, guns don't count, nor do air compressors (a gas motor powering them counts though). Wankel engines also count because they have spark plugs. Of course diesels count. I'm a little disappointed in the website I gave above. Some of the pages aren't working. They're kind of fun.

I'm sure most of us have a DCI of 2,3 or 4.

Whenever I buy something new (or new for me) I tell my wife "Imagine the money you'll make at the estate auction. All this stuff you call junk will be worth a fortune."

I don't think she's buying that line.
Dave
