Default Car seems lower

Hi! My C5 scraped when I drove it out of my driveway yesterday! It also scraped when I came back. Never done that before.
Also, when I took the battery cables off this morning, I loosened the ground cable first and when it got part way loose, something started a rapid pinging until I loosened it more. Does anyone know what that was? It sounded like an electrical relay clicking on and off rapidly, and I am worried I have hurt something?! Thanks, Covet My Vette

You sure it is actually your car?

Not sure about the "pinging" but mine does it as well. I think you are right that it is an electrical relay somewhere. I have never had any issues after swapping out batteries so I would not worry about it.

Heh. I'm wondering if the battery was low/dead, and the F55 shocks switched to full-soft, causing the driveway scrape.
(Just a random thought, my car doesn't have that option.)

Could be a little less tire pressure ... cold/cooler weather? The clicking or battery is definitely not the problem.
