Weighed my R at a truck scale in Akron after autocross today...

I'm sure like most scales, this one is more accurate when it's weighing stuff it was designed for, like big trucks. Still, kinda neat to give it a try, the result isn't beyond belief...AutoX/Track trim (Full interior, no spare/jack, a little less than 1/2 tank of gas):

The scale seemed decently accurate, it was 160 lbs heavier with me in it, which is what i weigh...again, at truck scale probably isn't hyper-accurate for light stuff.

My friend has JRSC, I/H/E, and the front bumper support taken out. But he had 'heavy' 17s on the car as well. Konig Monsoons. Full interior, and 1 12" sub. It weighed 25xx

the truck scales are accurate, but most are calibrated to weigh in 20lb increments. with a large diesel truck, weighing at 1lb or even 5lb increments is inpossible due to the vibration of the engine. the scale will jump around and not settle down. i am a certified new york weighmaster. i have 2 70ft long scales, in addition to a slew of smaller ones at my disposal.
