How do you get your car weight? YES I KNOW WITH A SCALE, but how or where?

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

Look up public scales in the phonebook, its usually 5 to 12 dollars to weigh, sometimes free if you don't need a weight slip.

If you around a farming community you can usually go to a co-op or the local farm scales and get weighed for free.

actually, that is about average weight for a modern small car. The Hyundai Accent weighs in at around 2500, and that is a tin can compared to what tanks german cars can be.
