Topic: The curb weight rule
So my family has had this 2007 Mercury Mountaineer since it was new. She's worn out and has over 220,000 miles. Big V8 automatic transmission in it. The value of it is scrap weight alone. Looking over the rules and trying to weigh out if this would be a candidate for something like this lead me to the curb weight rule (under 4200lbs curb weight as stated by the manufacturer) this thing weighs 4600-4900 as stated by Mercury. Right afterwards it says that wavers may be granted. Now me and my brothers all want to run the wheels of this beast and see if we can put her in the grave properly. How can we get approval for this vehicle before we strip it for every nickel it's worth and weld in a cage?
