mws Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Something we did at work years ago when we were bored: Count up how many spark plugs you have at your house! The winner gets dubious bragging rights.... Rules: 1) These are YOUR plugs, not your mommy and daddy's. To count them, you must have contributed to the acquisition of the machine. You can count your spouse's or children's if they live with you and YOU paid at least half (or share finances). 2) It has to be routinely stored at your house. The only exceptions are big boats or aircraft that can not be stored at home. 3) Machine must be functional. In the case of a project car, if it runs, you can count it even if not currently registered. But it must be able to be started and run within 15 minutes of a challenge being issued! 4) No, you can not count the glow plugs in a diesel or RC toy engine. Spark plugs only. 5) Yes, yard equipment (mower, chain saw, generator, weed eater) counts. Anything with internal combustion engine. But it must meet rule 3).

SC88Pathy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 OK so I lose with 0 (the Pathfinder is still registered under my parents name, I think it makes insurance cheaper? At least thats the line that they feed me when I question them about it). But I have a question, do old or new sparkplugs laying around in garages, sheds, toolboxes, backseats, etc count?

nunya Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) But I have a question, do old or new sparkplugs laying around in garages, sheds, toolboxes, backseats, etc count? I think rule 3 rules out loose plugs laying around. I got 14 Pathy and 2 4-bangers (would have more but the black Pathy and whats left of the Hardbody stay at work-but still run, on a jump pack) Edited July 21, 2008 by nunya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
