As I have moved from a house into an apartment when I jumped states, my cyliner index is lower than it used to be- 4 for the bus, 6 for the 4.3 equipped Jimmy that tows the bus when it's dead, and 4 for the Sentra, for a paltry total of 14. However, since this measure of manliness was developed in MINNESOTA, I understand that, according to Minnesotans that I know, manliness is also judged by the amount of Hüsker Dü and Replacements records in your record collection, with bootlegs counting double. Thanks to this by-law, my ACI (adjusted cylinder index) has shot well past my age of 27.
