Default Whats your car weigh?

I'm 3500lbs even with a 1/2 tank. Is my car a fatty?? 99SSM6.
The scale is state callibrated within 20lbs so I know it's correct. It ALWAYS rounds up.

BTW.. If anyone in northern CT or southern MA wants to check their car weight before the snow shoot me a pm.

Last time out I was 3090lbs after my last run (I'm about 225). I've lightend the car up atleast another 75lbs since then. I still have along way to go though.

I think yours is respectable for a daily driver but it could use some work.
