Most 96 owners were also strange.

SAAB made an overhead fan 3 cylinder 2 cycle engine for the "96" model
that numbered the cylinders from the back of the car to the front. 
There were so many strange things about this car (like a free-wheeling
clutch) that the cylinder numbering sequence didn't seen out of place.
