I've lived 3 minutes down a country gravel road for nearly 20 years. My daily used to be the C7Z but now that mostly sees track duty and I daily an F-80 M3. Just get used to your car rarely being clean. If its dry out they you get dust everywhere and if its wet you get covered in grey mud. If there is a car in front of you the dust is very bad.

I usually drive about 30 mph on the road as speed doesn't seem to make a difference. As long as you have the side skirts the car doesn't get torn up that bad. Also, an electric power washer is a good way to do a quick clean

The bigger issue is how well they maintain the road. We get some pretty big ruts and holes but if you drive it every day you get to learn the line to avoid them.

I love my cars and love where I live. I figure this just keeps me from taking things too seriously.
