  Curb weight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Curb weight or kerb weight is the total weight ( mass) of an automobile when not loaded with either passengers or cargo.
It is generally provided as a statistic about automobile weights, along with gross weight, which represents the weight of an automobile when fully loaded.
The difference between gross weight and curb weight is the total passenger and cargo weight capacity of the vehicle.

 Calcium May Curb Weight Gain 2/5/03
Researchers say that calcium intake could explain as much as three percent of the variability in adult body weight and may be associated with changes in body weight of about one pound per year.
A recently published study found that with each daily consumption of a dairy-containing food, risk of obesity, abnormal glucose homeostasis, and elevated blood pressure decreased by 20 percent, and the odds of developing the insulin-resistance syndrome were lower by 21 percent.
Interestingly, I posted an article on the association between calcium and weight loss nearly three years ago from an experimental conference.

 RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Tow Vehicles: DOT/FMCSA definition of CURB WEIGHT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Accessory weight means the combined weight (in excess of those standard items which may be replaced) of automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are available as factory-installed equipment (whether installed or not).
Curb weight means the weight of a motor vehicle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and coolant, and, if so equipped, air conditioning and additional weight optional engine.
When a weights and standards officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that a truck or other vehicle is exceeding the gross vehicle weight ratings for that vehicle, he will stop the vehicle and weigh it using portable scales which are underneath each axle.

 Purdue study: Calcium may curb weight gain in young women   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Dietary intake was assessed by diet records, and participants' body composition was measured using a method called dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, which provides measurements of muscle and fat mass of different areas of the body.
The researchers also found that women in the study who got their calcium from dairy sources, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, showed more of the weight control benefits than did those who primarily used nondairy sources -- such as dark green leafy vegetables, nuts and beans -- or calcium supplements.
Calcium intake, corrected by total energy intake, significantly predicted change in body weight (p<0.01) and body fat (p=0.02) such that subjects with high calcium intake, corrected by total energy intake, gained less weight and body fat.

One look at its vast dimensions, two-ton curb weight and formal roofline suggests the bad old days--numb steering, football field stopping distances, and the agility of a gimpy water buffalo.
The front-drive platform has a 113.8-inch wheelbase, overall length is 209.7 inches--almost 17.5 feet--and the curb weight is north of the two-ton frontier.
The priority is still strongly weighted toward cushiony ride quality, but it's a far cry from the flabby wallow that was a common trait of old-time Caddies.
