MCS Weight

Anyone know where the best place to get your car weighed is? I have to thin k my MCS is one of the lightest stock cars out there, I would just like to be able to prove it.

Do weigh stations allow car guys in?

And I still wonder why auto makers cant stamp a car's actual curb weight on the inside of the sill with the gross weight.
