What I would like to know is how, in the James Bond film "Goldfinger," they got an entire Lincoln Continental, crushed, engine and all, into the back of a Ford Falcon pickup without breaking the axles and tearing the truck bed apart on the Falcon. That's 5258 lbs curb weight. Oh, plus the dead guy.

Well without wheels, fluids and glass I would guess at about 2800 pounds or so. Of course we don't know how much of the car is actually there though.

From what I can see in the picture, and based on the size of the compressed item, I'm guessing this is only the body if that. I see nothing there that indicated it has the engine/suspension/etc. I couldn't find the specs for the body shell only but I'm guessing its only a few hundred pounds at most.

According to my Occupational Therapy wife you use it on the opposite side of the injury. It should move with the injured leg to provide support.

If you want to use your left leg to take the weight by leaning left then use it in the left hand more as balance. If you want to take the weight by placing less pressure on the leg by using your arm and shoulder then use it in the right. Try both and see what feels more natural to you.
