Also, I learned that with a lever and fulcrum, a ninety-pound woman can lift a car. Alas, that was not a demo, but only an anecdote.
I can tell you from personal experience that a 120 lb woman can lift a 600-700 lb motorcycle from the ground to upright using nothing more than her legs for leverage. (and I know I've lifted my own 500 pound beastie on nothing more than sheer embarassed adrenaline.)
However, cars are much more ground stable than a 2-wheeled contrivance.
