easy way to weight your car. Options

[creis]

I have been working on my future house for a wile now, I've been cleaning, painting etc. and taking things to the local garbage dump, usualy I take my parents van but I hate that thing. anyway, I took my car and they weighed it to figure out how much I have to pay, it ended up that my car with me was just about 2000 lbs. I dont know how much a stock gt weights but I was suprised, my little civic was listed at 2500 lbs.

anyway I'm board and felt I should share that story, and tell all you guys if you wana see how much your car weights just take it to a local dump, with some junk, and you've got it. some places have a min amount of money to charge for a car but even so, you will still get the weight.

also: its so funny to see all the people with there big trucks and junk looking at you, like your crazy.

to get weights goto

Curb Weight people not GVWR.

and yes, average person inside a Gt would way around 2800 lbs. If you were in the car and it weight only 2g's, then your car is around 1800 curb weight. Your talking Lotus right there. Sorry to pop bubbles.

EDIT: Most scales for semis(etc) cant read small cars. I went to a semi-scale at the highway stop and my Eclipse came up at 1600lbs with 2 people it in. Its not heavy enough for the scales to give accurate readings.
