What's the easiest way to determine car weight?

Any thoughts?

Public weighbridge is probably the simplest basic raw measure. Local recycling centre where they weigh the trucks going in and again on the way out to determine the amount dumped. Difference going in and out is zero if you don't drop anything off, but they will tell you what you weigh if you ask.

Scrutineering bays at local track can also have scales - often you only have to ask.

I took my car to a place that sells stone. Just go in and ask if you can weigh the car, they won't mind.

The Big Trk scales even if certified can be off a bit..you will have to use the law of averages
