Default Where do you guys weigh your car?? Mine was 2650 lbs???

OK, i took my eg cx hatch to a metal recycling center and weighed it and it weighed 2650 lbs with me and a 1/4 gas tank. Is there a different scale for weighing cars because 2650 is pretty heavy?

Damn, you must weigh like 500 lbs.

j/k sometimes those scales can be off, for instance, it could be only accurate at heavy weights and relatively inaccurate at lower weights, like that of your car. The scale may also be miscalibrated.

Go to a truck stop or a DOT approved weigh station. those things are on the money. I had a few weights in the back of my car and i removed them one at a time and each time i looked at the digital scale it was dropping 20 lbs for each of the weights which were 20 lbs.

I weighed mine at several truck stops.

Some of 'em aren't very accurate for some reason. Just hit up a few and get a general weight idea..
