That right... the windows actually pivoted on a point at the front. Neat quirky car. I had one... a V4. I'd still buy a 2 stroke one, but the V4 never really excited me. Crude, rough. But I got 30mpg when I drove it drown to visit Chip (with no brakes, but thats another story) Jaime On Wed,

The three cylinder two stroke engine that needed oil in the gas sounded like a Singer sewing machine going down the road, smoked out the tailpipe, and had a flat rate for a complete engine overhaul of 8 hours. The transaxle has a coasting clu

I carpooled with a nutty grad student back in my U of M days who drove one of these. He had to add a liter (pint ?) of oil with each 7 gals of gas, IIRC. Very peppy and iconic, but an evolutionary dead end. Anyone know about these? Has been bid to over $7k as we speak. https://bringatrailer.co

Neighbor has asked my opinion on a 2003 Saab 9-3. Anyone here know anything about them? I'm pretty much out of the loop when it comes to Saabs. I thought about dropping the ChoirBoy (Chip) a note, but he just did older ones so I don't think he'll ha e much to add Dan very west of Sweden S
