I drove my Suburban over the scales today and found that I have a front axle weight of 2350 and a rear axle weight of 2300 with the third row removed... 50/50 weight distribution! I kind of doubt the accuracy of that particular scale, though. Weighing both axles gave me a curb weight of 5,750, which seems about right, though it’s over a thousand more than both axle weights combined.

According to my door jam sticker my Miata doesn’t have a 50/50 weight distribution... I’m too lazy to go outside and check but I think it was like 47/53..?

If you had a garage with all 3 (particularly if they’re not all the new ones...), it would be a near ideal garage.
Roadster free from your children
performance sedan to impress clients
suburban to do actual things

But an El Camino could do all those things. Because someone who isn’t impressed by an El Camino isn’t worth impressing.

But El Camino doesn’t baby like a Suburban does.

Suburban: Check.
Miata: Sorta check (it’s under a thick layer of dust, shoved into the corner of a body shop in Minnesota)
M3: Well, I work on jet engines... I have no clients to impress.

The door jam sticker gives gross weights, as in how much axle weight is allowed when fully loaded with people and cargo.
