I have a vehicle with vehicle type set to car. It seems to hover/float just off the ground. Not very high but it is kind of annoying. Is this normal or is there something I can do to get it to ride right down on the ground?

About 10cm above the ground? That's because the collision envelope of a prim is an approximation of the prim, and just a wee bit larger than the visible prim itself. There are undoubtedly technical reasons for this, but the result is that you can't rest an object directly on the ground or on another object.

Thanks. Yes. This is probably what is happening. It does not affect the functioning of the vehicle and I never noticed it until I cammed around while driving.

Annoying from accuracy point of view but hell - it saves on tyre wear!
