Most of those pistons make the car go slower.

I don't think so...

I walked up to a Gas station that had a price list for tuneups.

SIGN TEXT:

$10 Per Cylinder Full Tune-Up Special!

4 Cylinder - $40
6 Cylinder - $60
8 Cylinder - $80

Parts included: Spark Plugs, Spark Plug wires, DIstributor cap and rotor, Fuel and Air filters, PCV Valve, Carburetor or Fuel Injector Cleaner, and Timing adjustment.

We use Quality Champion Brand Spark Plugs, Fram Filters, and Borg and Warner Ignition components.

Most vehicles, Check inside for details.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I was like, "Hey! I have an RX-7 with a rotary engine... No Cylinders... DOes that mean I get a free tune up?"

Dude was like, "No way man.. How many spark plugs does it have?"

I said, "It's got 4..."

He said, "Well then it's 4 cylinder price, smartass."

No way I was gonna get anything done by this place anyhow... Nobody touches my car but me.... I was just messin.. Hey, If it was gonna be free, maybe...

But end result was I got called a smart ***...

If you were just 'messin' perhaps you got the right response.
