than about the only way you are going to weigh it is find someone with car scales, it has 4 scales that go under each tire and tells you what each corner weighs. Most are made by longacre. If you know anyone really into racing they may have some or know someone who does.

i did this once when i drove tow truck.
call in and get a flatbed tow truck and have him tow you to the scales at the scrap yard. have them weigh it with your car on it. unload the car. weigh again. and then your set. just remember to have the car towed home afterwards :)
