@Aminorjourney - my little Mazda 3 isn't made for those roads but she does it. After dad had an accident, my mechanic said it wasn't worth fixing because of the price of repair versus the worth of the car, but safe to drive.

I'd considered getting a pick up to replace her, but then I lost my job so I have both an injured car and no pickup. To be fair, I'd probably end up getting the car repossessed after the layoff.

Since the accident I still drive, but I've kept to at worst gravel county roads.
