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. Hey ladies!!!

Eloquently said, lest we forget about the "evil"
American V8s, V10s, and diesels that TOW our Vanagons
when they leave us stranded!!! HAH!
