RE: weight reduction on my 84? make it faster?




I took my bus to the dump full of garbage once and they tell you the exact 
weight of your car/bus when you leave. This might be my area or Washington 
state only but its worth a bag of garbage or even recyclables. They dont 
charge to dispose of recyclables and you still get the weight of your 
car/bus. just remember dont put nasty garbage in your rocco. Put a bunch of 
cardboard or some thing in there when you go to the dump.

Also the weigh stations here turn their monitors towards the window when the 
station is closed so that truckers can check their weight without an offical 
around.
