I know that Australia has some l-o-n-g heavily wash-boarded tracks. I also know that washboard can destroy vehicles.
Yet, this piece is about a road in Death Valley that is driven by whoever not, including rental sedans. There are trip reports about it on both the OB and the Foz forums. It does have a reputation for punctured tires and washboard but I had not heard anything apocalyptic. Yet, this apparently happened:

What do you think? I suppose they may have happened to drive it at the worst possible time, when severely washboarded and their speeds are in the dreaded mid-range for washboard. Still, destroying struts so quickly? The article does seem keen to show the capability of the independent suspension Honda.
