TCC: Total Cylinder Count
I love motors. Motors in cars, bikes, mowers, toys, planes, even mouths. They make things move, and I like motion. My current fascination is with motorcycles because you cannot beat the speed for the price. Why spend $80k on a car when you can go faster on a $3000 bike? This is a listing of all vehicles owned, past and present.

Past vehicles
In chronological order of aquisition:
  • 1986 Nissan Maxima (6 cyl)
  • 1990 integra GS (4 cyl)
  • 1985 Toyota Pickup (4 cyl)
  • 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix (6 cyl)
  • 1992 Toyota tercel (3 cyl)
  • 1993 Toyota celica (4 cyl)
  • 1998 Chevrolet Lumina (6 cyl)
  • 1982 Honda CB500 (4 cyl)
  • 1985 Yamaha XJ700X Maxim X (4 cyl)
  • 1985 Yamaha XJ700 Maxim (4 cyl)
  • 1989 Yamaha Vmax (4 cyl)

    Current vehicles
    In chronological order of aquisition:
  • 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse (6 cyl)
  • 2004 Yamaha YZ1 (1 cyl)
  • 2004 Yamaha FZ1 (4 cyl)

    So, my current TCC is only at 11 cylinders, which isn't great, but it's respectable. My overall TCC is 60.

    Not gas?
    There are a lot of new technologies coming out regarding the decreased consumption of gasoline. For the record, I'm conflicted because there will never be anything like the sound of a big ol' 8 cylinder engine with glass packs rumbling my balls around in their boxers. But, there are some promising options out there, and I'm interested in every one of them.
