Where can you weigh your car?

I have been wondering for a while as to where would be a good place to weigh a car....and would it cost anything to get on a scale so large? Would a truck stop with a semi scale work? I'm not sure, becuase I think semi's get weighed per axle, or something weird like that. I have a lot of fiberglass components, and would like to see how much they changed my curb weight....

I dont know if you have the luxury i do, but about 1/2 mile from my house is a moving company ( I think it's called Reed's). Anyway, they charge by weight, and in the middle of the parking lot is a weigh-in station, where I can pull on to it (after hours of course), and a mechanical scale displays the weight of my car. My car weighs 3280 without me in it. Check local moving companies, and see if they have the same thing.

Some drag strips have scales, and/or short tracks. If you ever make it down to Indianapolis I think IRP has scales.

I really don't know if seed would be as heavy as rock that they would need scale to test the load amount.. go look around.
