Bit's correct. Dodge Magnum.

One of my ex-colleagues at work bought an original SRT-8 one with a Hemi.

I remember the 2-stroke engine because it was such an anomaly! But, I can't tell you M&M if the one you pictured is a Saab 92 or 93.

Close enough...you get full credit.

My first job out of high school was in a high-density military gas station. I used to fill those old Saabs up and add a can of factory-approved oil to the gas tank....that was necessary to lube the 2-stroke engine. One can for each eight gallons of gas in the tank. They made the most hilarious nasal engine-sounds when you gave them some RPMs LOL.

Good one mmarshal.

This one got me curious so had to look it up.
A water cooled 2 stroke engine rated at 25 hp for max speed of 65 mph and praised to be an excellent car.

I imagine it needed to be a 2 stroke to get the 65 mph.

Peek under the hood.
The days when cars were simple.

Actually, as Front-Drivers, those old two-stroke Saabs were not as mechanically simple as many of the rear-drive vehicles of the period.

Like you knew it when you saw it.

I thought this was the car that I'm dropping below but something looked off so I held back.

You gonna drop one for us?

Does it have a reputation?

PS- your turn to drop one. lol


////////////////////////////

I wanted one of these back in the day as a cheap weekend cruiser because they could be had cheap.
Problem was finding one that wasn't beat to snot and rusted all to pieces.

OP said we can drop more than one car at a time so I'll go ahead a drop one.
What am I?
