I did too. I asked a relative, long time trucking, he told me 15 bucks, and just answer the phone by the scale, they call to tell you or CB.
but that's just the scale to my locale.

My own car, I could guess gained 200 lbs to roughly 75 pounds of steel added. the struts and leverages, or whatever trick they got, it is not all that real. A car crumpled up in a ball and weighed is always less....
it is a sick game they play. Little cars have always frightened me as a result.

like a 3600 pund gm car (very common number once upona time) is actually under 3000..but just right in real weight anyway. The sube is a lightweight, but plays with a gyro, very stable, heavier feeling.
