Where do you guys weigh your cars?

[ACE4DOOR]

I was just wondering because, I see post like, "I weighed my car the other day, and it weighs 2456lbs with me plus the DOHC motor in it" I was thinking you'll go to weigh stations for trucks, and if you'll do, how in the hell do the people at the stations have time for some kid who is just curious about the weight of his Civic? Most likely, they would tell you to get that piece of sh*t out of hear. Pease tell me because I smell Bull sh*t.

look for industrial areas near you. some of them have truck weighing stations, so that they can check their weight before they get on the road

people weigh in their car at the can/bottle/paper recycling places..most truck weight station wont let you weigh in a car..but with some cash..they might do it..but recycling places is your best bet..

most truck weigh stations dont turn their scales off at night or when they're closed., i weighed mine about a week ago and took a picture of the readout

 

[anfrey]

always go at night!!!

you can also try going to the dump ... a lot of them charge via weight so just wait in line, check the readout (at the napa dump its right on the tower) then tell the people you dont actually have anything to dump you just wanted to weigh your car and swing it behind the tower and head home.

the local scale operators wait till you drive on and give you the thumbs up...

they don't want money or nothin...

only problem is that its in kilo's not pounds

wow coupes are heavy. My hatch weighs just over 2100lbs. We have public weigh stations on the side of the road. It's pretty sweet.

Just go to the place where you have to get your emissions tested, I've gone before when I wasn't required to

is that with your system? the 2500lbs is with me, my system, a couple extra amps laying in my trunk, my golf clubs, and a shitload of illegal fireworks.

^^^ that sounds too light...way too light

 

[$lick Rick]

2500lbs too light or 2100 too light?

 

[SeanMc300]

2500, especialy with you in it, your system, golf clubs, and extra amps

hmm...... i know i had the amps in there... and i'm pretty sure the clubs were in the trunk that night... but i'm not positive. but my clubs + bag only weighs like 30lbs

We have a lot of gravel pits around here. Go in the shack and ask them to weigh you when there are no trucks in line. Or go to your local scrap yard and ask them, I felt stupid asking but now I know (2300lbs)
