Hey,

I was trying to get from my town to another one and my GPS took me offroading for a good half an hour (the GPS crapped out on me after it led me astray as well). In any case the road was dirt/gravel... it was mostly flat but a lot of bumps along the way.

Do such treks damage the car at all? I don't go offroading regularly, and even though it was fun as hell, I'm worried what the long term effects of driving on such roads are...


Regards,

KF

I sure hope not :D

Nah I'm sure it's fine as long as you took it easy. Suspension needs a workout now and then ;)

I beat the sheet(jumping it, running into stuff, etc..) out of my car every weekend, and have had nothing break so far. You should be fine
