Driving over brick pavers?

Everyday I cross over a section in a neighborhood that has like a few car length stretch of brick pavers. When I drive over the car does a lot of quick bumps, as each time you hit the grooves in the spaces of the bricks, it's a little bump. The car makes the baaa, baaa, baaa noise from the tires.

The question is, is it better to go over it slow 5-10 mph and hit each little bump nice a softly? Or is it possibly better to hit it at 25 mph and just go over it really quickly? I wasn't sure what was better slower more emphasized bumps, or just hitting it quickly.

Just trying to keep my car in perfect condition. I cherish everything I have, and only recently have I been so blessed to have nice things such as this amazing car. I like to treat it with the best possible care, and ensure it lasts for as long as possible. Regardless if I have leased the car or not, I'd like to know it was taken care of properly and not abused for the next owner.

Oh man...as long as you go what the speed limit tells you to do, then you should be fine.

A car is a car. You'll probably end up getting into an accident or something else fails way before you should worry about your car's suspension getting damaged over a speed bump. People have gone 15 mph and jump over a curb and suspension has been fine with this car.

Stop posting threads like this. If you post more useless asinine trolling posts you'll find yourself unable to post anymore.
