Going shopping for that Hummer.

Age=66

CAI=30

Time to get yourself a boat up there in Oshkosh. A nice big one with twin V-8's and a generator. The NQFC Carver itself earns my 20 CAI points.

I am 62 yrs and woefully short with only 8 cylinders, American made though.

Well I thought I was close till I added them up ,I'm 61 and came up with 43.

Lawnmower electric

Happy CAI Day!
Today is the day we celebrate the invention of the internal combustion engine for all it has given to society. Count the total number of cylinders on all of your vehicles, recreational equipment, lawn mowers, snowblowers, etc... This is your families CAI. It must equal or exceed the age of the oldest member of your household or you need to immediately run out to buy a used Hummer (H1).
Happy to report I was able to slightly increase my CAI to 55 this year.
