The most toys?

[rsciolino]

Neighbor came over proudly displaying his new electric weedwacker he got from the big box store. Even had on the cheesy goggles it came with. Was boasting about "the most toys wins". So now electric weedwackers are in the running???

I think this whole toys counting thing has to stop. It is drawing too many contestants that really need to be excluded.

I would like to propose the following- Let ditch the number of toys thing and start counting cylinders. So the person with the most cylinders wins. Count all of your cylinders- pickup truck is 8, tractors are 3 or 4 each etc. There will be a multiplier for diesel cylinders, maybe 100x. We could even put the number in a white circle decal and put it on the back of our SUV like the people that run do. What do you think? :thumbsup:

Cylinder numbers are fine but what about size?

Also what about implements? I mean fine if we both have the same size tractor, but all I have is the bucket and you have a tiller, bush hog etc....

Truck 7.3 diesel - 8
SUV 3.0l diesel - 6
Dump Truck - International DTA360 - 6
Tractor diesel - 4
Mini-ex diesel - 2

Genetator - 1
Line trimmer - 1
Mower - 1
Chainsaws - 2
Blower - 1
Limb saw - 1
Hedge trimmer - 1
Pressure Washer - 1

That puts me at 35 but the dump truck and mini-ex should get extra points.

Before I go out in the heat to count, if i'm invested 25% in the automotive salvage yard next door, can I claim 25% of the 10 acre yard?

8 Truck Diesel
4 Car Diesel
3 Tractor Diesel

12 Motorcycles (5)
2 Lawnmower
2 Chainsaws (2)
2 Leaf blowers (2)
2 WeedWackers (2)
5 Generators (3)

40 total, none are even used for business! Sold the extra car and 2 boats in the last year. That would have added 10 more!

I have a problem and come here as therapy....

I am not going to participate since I already have to listen to my wife tell everyone how boys never grow up.... just that their TOYS get bigger! :laughing:

In the long run he will be his own worst enemy.

I know I don't have the most toys nor enough to get on the list but the ones I have cost dearly.
As the saying goes, the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys and I sure fit the requirement.

When reflecting on my worth, I generally count tires on the ground. The last couple of years have been hard, I am down from 80 to about 36. I usually reflect upon this when I am having to fix or replace one.

Or the house you keep your toys in? Just built a 42x60x16 barn that only has toys in it..... boat (25' 350mag bravo 3) tractor(L47) trailer to pull tractor, truck, car, mower, 4 atvs, dirt bike.... too much power equip. Wife's Denali (6.2ltr) stays in a different toy house

It's true, he who dies with the most toys still dies, mine are paid for so at least my boys will get a head start....

somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 cylinders. Makes me feel more like a slave than a winner. Just keeping up with oil changes breaks your soul.

I'm in the same boat!

I don't consider tools to count as toys. If you want to count toys you need to be looking at race cars, boats, motorcycles, etc. Not weed eaters. That said I will loose in the toy race. I have a street/track car and a motorcycle. Everything else is for work. Not saying I don't enjoy working with my equipment but I don't look at them as toys.
