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.

hmmm....or the scale was off....but they dont care, because its off when you weigh in, so the amount dumped is still correct.....see what im saying? (in otherwords, the scale IS accurate, but not precise. (for you science people out there))

It being off by over 500 pounds is far from accurate... I bet most peole here can't even lift 500 pounds... FYI... my AE86 completely stripped weighs just a bit over 2000 pounds... and it's a much smaller car.
