I took my Honda Civic off-roading. Did I cause any damage to my car?
So I accidentally took my 2012 Honda Civic on a off roading adventure the other day (don't ask, long story lol)
Drove through a shallow body of water about 1/2 foot deep and went up and down a moderately steep gravel road with lots of rocks for about a quarter of a mile or so. I didn't floor it or drive through any crazy rough terrain like over insanely huge rocks or potholes or anything, I drove as steady and conscientious as possible and got back on to the main road as soon as I could. In all it was a 15 minute off-road detour. My front license plate is bent a little from driving with low suspension and my car def needs a car wash but otherwise my car has been driving on the freeway for almost 100 miles since then smoothly with no issues.
Given the fact that I was driving fairly conservatively and for a comparatively short period of time I'm pretty sure the car is fine. But just thought I'd ask for a second opinion. Should I take the car in for an inspection on am I overthinking it?
