In the spirit of Iwrock...

I'm getting something. Care to guess what? Here are some hints:

Four wheels
1.3 liters displacement
Approx 28mpg
Manual trans
1/4 mile in approx 14.5 seconds

Any guesses?

Most likely an FC Rx7 non-turbo. But the 28mpg figure throws me off...as well as the 1/4mile time. 14.5 is definitely attainable for a TII but not 28mpg, etc.

Sorry, I didn't know Iwrock stole it, it's just that I see him do it so often!

So I guess it's time for the next round of hints:

Dual carbs
Approx 10" of ground clearance
Japanese
Four rearview mirrors

Any more guesses, or should I just out with it?

He doesn't give many, but some would say that the mere act of being Iwrock is a hint.

I was thinking Samurai until I saw the quarter mile time. I'm stumped.

Ok, I'll out with it. I'll admit to being a little deceptive or misleading with the hints.

What I'm getting is a pair of Suzuki DR650se dual sport motorcycles. Between them they have 1300cc's, two carbs, four wheels, and four rearview mirrors. Reports have them running the 1/4 mile in approx 14.5 seconds, and the mileage is a figure representing feeding both of them, as each bike should get ~56mpg. The suspension has two settings, a high and low, which will influence seat height, so hers will be set to the low setting. Should be picking them up next week.

Thanks for playing, and Unimog?
