So, after reading about Baxter increasing cylinder count, I wonder what my cylinder count versus people I can transports is. For example: 2 Miatas, 8 Cylinders, 4 People, total. 1 Aspire, 4 Cylinders, 4 People. 1 Escort, 4 Cylinders, 5 People. 1 Canoe, 0 Cylinders, 3 People. 1 Sunfish, 0 Cylinders, 2 People. 1 Line Trimmer, 1 Cylinder, 0 People. 1 Lawn Mower, 1 Cylinder, 0 People. 2 Specialized Bike, 0 Cylinders, 2 People.

So, my numbers are 18: 20

Whats your number?

Hmmm... are we counting radio control stuff? That skews things badly...

-Tahoe 8/5 -240SX #1 4/4 -240sx #2 4/2 -Saab 4/5 -Suzuki 4/5

That makes the vehicular count 24/21.. not too shabby, and the 2 snails in there should count for something...

Non people moving internal combustion goes up by 4 for yard equipment, 4 for ground RC, 3 fixed wing flyers, and 2 for helos

that's 37/21 :twisted:

Then add a pair of rotors not currently in a vehicle...

Edit: forgot the snow blower

Mine has to be horrible, especially if you count engines that aren't installed in anything. Counting uninstalled engines, gardening supplies, RC cars, and parts cars, my cyl count has to be well over 100, and the people count is somewhere around 20.

Hmm, having cars that get engines swapped and seats added/removed, my fleet is constantly fluctuating in seat/cylinder/vehicle count, so I'll put a disclaimer that this counts for today only. :grin:

  • Bug - 6 cylinders, 2 seats
  • Fiero - 8 cylinders, 2 seats
  • Fiero - 6 cylinders, 2 seats
  • Subaru battlewagon - 4 cylinders, 1 seat
  • Soyburban - 8 cylinders, 8 seats
  • Saabaru - 4 cylinders, 5 seats
  • Ulysses - 2 cylinders, 2 seats
  • Bicycles (aka dust collectors) - 0 cylinders, 2 seats

38 cyl : 24 seats for a 1.58:1 ratio of cylinders to seats.

Not how many people live with you, but how many people could your vehicles potentially hold.

ie the Miata can carry 2, the Porotge5 holds 4 or 5...
