I mean... Are there any specific places in certain towns? I'd like to know so I don't have to spend $800 in gas cruising the surface streets of every town in a 20 mile radius...

I think they have a gate set up before the scales and it closes at night. That's what I was thinking though because I already know where it is. I'll try tomorrow and see (probably get laughed at... haha).

Thanks. I will get off my *** and cash wasting spree and look for "Sports Car Weighing, Inc." I am sure to find a company that weighs cars for curious enthusiasts. And it will probably be a local company too. I'm sure they won't charge a lot $$$. Sorry. Just a little pissed off right now with other things like people thinking they're doing me a favor when they don't and end up inconveniencing both of us.

That's what I was looking for... Could you PM me?

Thanks, also what I was looking for. I'll see if there are any that are closer than the dump (unlikely).

Recycling in Irvine has a scale, went there a while back to dump a Christmas tree. Weighed a 98 suburban at the same time. 5700lbs

They are located between Walnut and Barranca. You can see the place coming down Jamboree from the I-5

Ive been meaning to go back and weigh my Impala.
