got weighed!

Where are you guys taking your cars to get weighed? I know you can get it weighed at the drag strip but it costs like $20...not sure if I want to know that bad...lol.

I get mine weighed for free at the local recycling center. They weigh trucks full of cardboard before and after to find out how much cardboard they brought in. I just drive onto the scale and look back at the ticker to see what I'm at.

Yeah I thought of taking mine to the county dump to see if they'd weigh me there, they'd probably tell me to get lost..lol

I got my car weighed at the dump at 3550lbs. That was with a half tank of gas, no spare tire, no jack, no a/c, and 145lbs of me. My car has t-tops and a A4

If you have any highway patrol/state police scale houses near by they usually weigh for free or at any of large truck stops like pilot or flying J.

My 94 was 3350
My 99 is 3500 pounds

Exactly right. Just about every town has one nowadays. This is where I went as well. They were charging me at first,,,only $10 or so,,,but I was showing up with so many cars they just let me go for free after a while

**allbaugh_04** · 12-22-2008, 02:09 PM

maybe leather weighs a few lbs more, can't be too big of a difference....do you have power windows?

yelp and seats. hell i thought it was the scale at the track so i went and got someone that worked there to make sure it was right, and it was. went back 2 weeks later and it was right around the same thing.

**BowTied** · 12-23-2008, 02:34 AM

I think they list the cars at around 3440. I remember looking it up when I bought my Cobalt and the Cobalt is 3380! Guess which one is faster!

I want to weigh mine. Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft, Aluminum Fly Wheel, and Clutch. I think I lost like 20lbs total from the Vette Wheels I replaced. But I think those wheels weighed 15 lbs more than the stock wheels anyway.

My 2001 SS Camaro T-Top 6 speed weighted in at 3510 with 3/4 tank of gas, she was a big girl.
How did Bon Scott from AC/DC used to sing it?
