    Most new cars today are on the order of 3500-4000 lbs. SUVs are more common, and tend to be heavier. The only 2000 lb cars that I know of that are currently being sold are the Lotus Elise, and a couple of super-low-end econoboxes. (E.g., Mitsubishi Mirage, Toyota Yaris, etc.)

    Even the MINI Cooper and Porsche Boxster are about 3,000 lbs.
    “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
    One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
    The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

      I've got a hybrid sedan, so I've got a bit more weight than normal, but I'm sure my Camry's still on the lighter side, especially compared to all those trucks. In that case, I did have trucks on 3 sides. Worse comes to worse, I could always bail out into the snowy frozen ditch at 120kmh, but luckily I didn't need to and was able to wiggle out of the convoy fairly quickly. But it wasn't a fun situation to be in one way or another.

          There's always somewhere to go, it's just not always somewhere you want to go.
