    An old idea but always fun to compare.
    Only running machines you can sit on and drive, ride or fly count. Your lawn tractor counts, the dozen motors in the garage don't count.

    I'm currently at 41 and get twitchy below 40 so have been perusing the classifieds.

    I'm feeling like a bit of a sluggard here at 40 actual running, functioning, moveable units. It's that latest addition of the V-6 that knocked me down the very critical 2 that hurts. Perhaps I can use this thread to show my wife that I'm underachieving and she'll let me rectify that?

    Hummm. 26 and that's 4 cars, 1 truck. I technically could ride on the lawnmower as it's self propelled but it really has not seat.:evilsmile:

    I've been refered to as cheap and I guess having 4 and 6 cylinder cars makes me cheap there too.:slap:

    I have to add that the Rev may not be able to count that high and Tedy will have to use a calculator.:rofl2:
