[Number 3]

First, I can assure you that your Camaro was tested over some of THE most severe roads and potholes. If you saw the roads the Camaro was tested on you would wince.

Second, the wear and tear on your car due to driving on VERY rough roads is going to be greater. The loads into the body and suspension will be higher when you hit bumps, potholes and such rather than smooth pavement . On dirt roads you will kick up more rocks and debris. In the rain, a dirt road will get the car muddy, not just wet. Over time does this take a toll on your car? Yes.

So if you want you car in the best condition it can be and last longer than normal, take a smoother route.

But just know that you aren't dong anything to your car that we haven't.........a lot.

Hope that helps.
