Central WA Baja

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

Ok while we wait on my full first drive report we can still have a little fun.

I put the Queen on the scale at the truck stop last night.

So let the guessing begin!

Now we can do the math and go empty guesses but in reality there was 7/8 tank of fuel in the car and JT in the passenger seat and I was in the drivers seat. So minus beverages pretty much a ready to run weight.

If it helps, JT and I tip the scale at a little over 500# ....yeah we like to eat lol

All really good guesses...and like a shot gun blast ya'll have got the target covered LOL

Bonus question:
My goal was to hit a 60/40 split on the weight distribution 60% rear. How far off was I?
Lets say my rear is 200lbs heavier then it should be in % then I missed by a 100lbs to the rear. If the front is 50lbs heavier then it should be then I missed by 25lbs to the front. Make sense?

Any takers?

Hint: I did not hit the mark exactly on the numbers :lol: I know lots of help there :mrgreen:

I'm in, 3250. :) Been hanging around in the shadows, kicking around the idea of building a 10 car to race in a local series. Nothing serious, just something to play with... Oh, and still driving my junk every chance I get, which is not NEARLY enough....
