I know this can't be right. I Just got back from feedmill certified scales saying my car w/o me in it was #3350 He had me drive onto the scale (wich had alot of gravel on it) before he went inside the booth to read the beam scale and I watched butt theres noway my cuda can be this light IMO. What is the proper way to weigh my car?

You check the bathroom scale for zero before you weigh yourself don't you. If it's an older scale, the scale operater probably didn't zero it before you drove on. The newer electronic scales self zero each time, most any truck stop will have these.

Thanks guys, maybe that is what it weighs then. I have a glass hood,alum heads and intake and no a.c. components or bumper fillers.
