whats your cylinder index?

A local talk radio program in my area is big on cars.  The goal of the CI is to have more than your age. Count all your cylinders (lawnmowers, weedwhips,fourwheelers,cars etc).  They dont need to run but they need to be yours or you bought them (ie; the wife's car, kid's car)
If you want check out there site it explains it a lil better plus there are special rulings for rotax motors and the like www.garagelogic.com/ica.htm

What does count?
Do the cylinders have to run?  NO.
Do Rotary Engines count?  Nope.
May I count my wife's vehicle or my kid's car?  If you paid for it.
What about work vehicles, do they count? NO.  You don't own them.
Remote controlled airplanes?  NO.
What about cylinders in a gun? NO.
How about shared cylinders, borrowed cylinders, stored cylinders, or stolen cylinders?
NOT APPLICABLE!

CI is 24 and I'm 19.  Doing pretty good. 

I'm low though, not too long ago I think I was topping out at 30 or so.  And I'm not counting lawnmowers, air compressors, etc.
