That said, I do notice the concrete in CA is insanely bumpy. I once drove in an old Dodge Ram van, and the suspension was nearly maxing the bottom and top range as I hopped down the freeway. It's unclear if it was made that way, or developed due to age. Wonder if there's an engineering solution to prevent such massive bumps from developing?
