<MIDGET> Weight?

I don't believe the specs on my door sill plate of my 72 mg midget, it says
that it weighs 2151 pounds, it also says the rear end weighs in at
1200+pounds.  I'm sorry, but I just don't believe this, especially when two
of my friends (5'10", 165 lb) can lift the rear end completely off the
ground.  So tell me, what is the curb weight empty?
