A local talk radio program in my area is big on cars. The goal of the CI is to have more than your age. Count all your cylinders (lawnmowers, weedwhips,fourwheelers,cars etc). They dont need to run but they need to be yours or you bought them (ie; the wife's car, kid's car)
If you want check out there site it explains it a lil better plus there are special rulings for rotax motors and the like www.garagelogic.com/ica.htm (http://"http://www.garagelogic.com/ica.htm")
