    The car loses some lifetime due to increased stress on the suspension, axles, etc.

    The children get to live.

    I honestly think this is a symptom of struggling financially so hard that youd rather maybe save $1000 4 months down the line than… Protect children’s lives.

      Ngl I live in an area with a lot of speedbumps and I’ve never had a suspension failure or know anyone who has.

      Even though the claim does make sense in theory, I think it’s way overblown and really not significant in the real world.
