Maybe it's because it is County Fair season that I began thinking
about the weight of my Sprite (remember the carnival guy who guesses
your weight?). Anyhow, I went and had my Sprite weighted today on a
State of Michigan certified scale. My 1966 weighed in at 1580 pounds
with a half a tank of gas, spare tire-wire wheel, the convertible
top, a few pounds of tools (2 or 3 Lbs) and a blanket in the trunk. I
was out of the car during the weighing. I believe this agrees with
the weight printed on the title. I think Spridget books list the
"dry" weight somewhere around 1420 or so. In Michigan this age and
weight combination puts the car in the lowest license plate fee category.
