It would just make my ears bleed the whole way.

My Z is my DD but I do try to avoid putting it in harms way when I can avoid it
I remember those cobble stone roads in Montreal... my heart beat raise to the same rate as how's the suspension travel....

It is hard to avoid gravel or whatever "harmful" road surface, some don't care some do, I think we DO CARE A LOT because we want to keep our car in good shape and minimum damage.

I rent a house at the end of about a quarter mile gravel driveway. So yea, I drive mine down a gravel road everyday to get home and worry about the important things in life, like family, not rock dings on the inside of my wheel wells.
