Thats the total weight the car is designed to carry.

I've heard rumors that actual weight at 3/4s a tank of gas, sans driver, is around 3680(T/A WS6, m6).

Basically, yeah.

Almost any metal yard will work.

Or truckers weigh station.

Normally I just pop my front tires on the scale, look at the digital read out, pull the whole car up, recheck read out, and drive away.. Noone has ever asked. :p
