BenGast Sophomore Author Boise Posts:129 Points:223,955 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Dec 2, 2010 3:10:54 PM Ignore BenGast Report Abuse Both of my primary vehicles have 4 cylinders. One is an inline engine and the other is horizontally opposed. Over the years my cars have had a 2 cylinder vertical, a 3 cylinder 2 cycle, several inline 4 cylinders, three with a rotary engine, a few with V6s(one of which was a Diesel), and a few V8s. My first car was a 4 cylinder and my cars now are 4 cylinder.
