Using collision driven discrete molecular dynamics (DMD), we investigate the thermodynamics and dynamics of systems of 500 dumbbell molecules interacting by a purely repulsive ramp-like discretized potential, consisting of $n$ steps of equal size. We compare the behavior of the two systems, with $n = 18$ and $n = 144$ steps. Each system exhibits both thermodynamic and dynamic anomalies, a density maximum and the translational and rotational mobilities show anomalous behavior. Starting with very dense systems and decreasing the density, both mobilities first increase, reache a maximum, then decrease, reache a minimum, and finally increase; this behavior is similar to the behavior of SPC/E water. The regions in the pressure-temperature plane of translational and rotational mobility anomalies depend strongly on $n$. The product of the translational diffusion coefficient and the orientational correlation time increases with temperature, in contrast with the behavior of most liquids.
