<p><dd>I just picked up my AE on Feb 22. I have a concern that the dealer brushed off as insignificant but I'm still wondering about it. The clearance between the top of the wheels and the wheel well is noticeably differant between the back and front. The back is about 1/2 to 1 inch lower than the front. It looks kind of like I'm packing a couple of bodies in the trunk. Does anybody have any advice or information regarding this?</p><p><dd>Also, are the AE's getting lower because I remember the older ones I looked at had quite a bit more clearance than mine does? Haven't driven it very hard yet but performance seems fine. I did notice a bit of wobble when I accelerated in mid-turn coming out of a parking lot onto the main road. Sorry I don't have any pictures.<br>
<dd>At the risk of getting really irritating let me ask one more question. Is it okay to use a clean towel instead of a chamois when cleaning the car?
<p><dd>Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to reply to my question(s)</p>

<dd>My apologies. In typical newbie style I posted then searched. Streetmax's post not too far below this one addressed the problem I just brought up. I guess I won't stress about it too much after all.<br>
<dd>In case anyone's interested, my last mpg calculation was 19mpg. That's for city driving on 91 octane fuel without taking rpm over 4000.
