You can get a ticket for weighing your car at a weigh station. Its not meant to weigh passenger vehicles. Its there to weigh 18wheelers. A guy I work w/ drove a truck for 10yrs so unless the rules have changed, then I would just weigh it at the track.

You can always try the dump. At the one I go to, they weigh your car when you enter and when you leave. Then they charge you for the weight of the crap you just threw away, which is the difference in the entering weight and leaving weight.

i work for a moving company, so i am always getting weights for trucks. just call up your nearest moving company and ask where the closest scale is. it should cost no more than $6-7.

Whenever we go to Ennis(1/4 mile track in TX), there's a scale at the end of the track on the return road. That's when I weigh mine.

I weighed mine at a truck stop too.

Make sure the scale is certified...you'd be surprised at how many of them aren't.

If you plan on going to a truck stop, make sure to go inside and tell them you are planning to weigh a car. If you don't let them know, you might get in trouble.

Mine cost $8 and a good laugh from the truckers.

there is a quarry around my town and we wait till night when no one is around and go park the car on the weigh station, then run around and look in the window where the computer displays the weight...

Shaun, I weighed mine at Ennis, but if you want to go weight yours then go to the truck stop in McKinney off of 75 north of 121.
