If I remember correctly that's about the same as my 87 IROC 305 A4. I've lost about 80lbs since then though.

I did mine at a city dump. They have scales to weigh the trucks for how much trash they are dumping.

Cost me nothing. I went along when it was quiet and asked the guy nicely. It gave him something to do for 3 minutes...then he went back to scratching his nuts in the summer heat again.

I know there are some quaries not far from my house that have huge scales for the dump trucks. They are outside thier gates and are left on all night long so pretty much anyone could drive on it and see what the big 12" tall led readout says. Havent done it with my car yet being that its still not running.

Go to any grain elevator (if you have one around). Scales typically have a small readout in the window and work all the time. Increments of 20 lbs.
