Welcome! good to see another white car! not too many of these on this forum.Originally Posted by 06mr6
Most common bushing failures are the rear Diff mount and the lower control arm bushings in the front... I'd check those first

Thanks Sockethead!

Pillars are normal (unfortunately). I'd suggest peeling the c-pillars when it gets worse or bothers you. After you peel it you won't even notice. Same may go for a-pillars. Try tucking them in with a credit card?

Welcome! I'm also in Austin (other side, far south). Really liking your Alpine White ZHP, particularly that perforated leather wheel.

Welcome! We have (had?) very similar cars.
I have always found my car to be 'jumpy', oversteer-prone compared to my previous experience. Getting tire inflation precisely in line helped more than a bit.
As to the clunk, it's remotely possible a previous owner installed an aftermarket LSD. I bought one, and now have this as an ongoing issue. The mfr. describes it in their literature as to be expected and inconsequential. I don't like it, personally, but...
NoVaPhotog got it right-on as regards the hidden spare. Since my car came with factory run-flats I expected to see nothing down there. Once I'd switched over to normal tires and tried to install the new wheel and tire I'd bought... I found out ;-)
Again... welcome!
