I was poking around the interwebs a bit ago and came across this.

It doesn't seem to be serious though...

On a positive note, the ride height looks spot on.

Don't forget that usually during a tow, the car is cinched down tightly to prevent it from moving around...

That is true but the car was strapped through the wheels rather than to the body...I would guess this would be the ride height as shown...
