You might feel differently if you had a 40 / 50 / 60 thousand dollar vehicle.

Please know that I'm not picking on your current vehicle, just pointing out that things are a bit different as the cost/value of a vehicle goes up (to most people).

Lol, I drive a 2014 Escalade on my dirt roads. But I get what you're saying, people see their cars differently. We have lived on dirt forever. My guess would be that my vehicles have seen more dirt that maybe everyone on this forum combined.

But yeah...I drive like its Hazard County.

My girlfriend drives her 2010 corvette down her dirt driveway thats almost 1/4 mile long. It's all in how fast you drive. Dirt can be washed off, it's why they make car soap and wax.

I lived on a dirt road for a while before they paved it. I just drove slowly so as not to kick up a bunch of dust. Fortunately it was pretty well graveled, so it didn't get too muddy.

A driveway is a completely different issue for me. You can control what happens on a driveway and what kind of shape it stays in. A public dirt road you are typically at the mercy of the county on how often its graded to get rid of the washboard. Also, there are not many vehicles that pass you on a driveway creating a dust storm.

I like car soap and wax as much as the other guy, but that does not mean I like to use it daily.

You guys are all talking dirt road is it not a gravel road? Dirt road turns to mud when it rains and no Mustang will like that. Here in Iowa they are gravel roads and every so often they have to put more gravel on them.

I know a lot about gravel roads over 20 years ago my wife and I had a chance to get a house her dad built but on 3/4 mile of gravel road. Great house 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2 fireplaces 3 car attached garage morton building etc etc. All the room allowed kids to have motorcycles, go carts etc. Great move but it did hurt some I had a Corvette and Harley and just hated the road still do after 20 years. Vette is gone and different Harley now but still creepy slowly down the road.

Now to Mustang! Just made a offer last night on 2014 GT premium red, black leather 4k miles so if they come down some may have to take it down the gravel.

Shooting they don't allow that in Cali do they? LOL

Come to Iowa I have a great local range and I'll drive my F150

Cars are meant to be driven. If it bothers you, either prepare to paint the car or accept the chips as patina of use.

I'd feel different if I was driving a 200K+ Aston or something I'd feel different...but then I probably wouldn't be living on dirt loads.
